How do Jews view the Old Testament compared to Christians?

I noticed someone said the Old Testament for Jews is just the Torah (first 5 books of the Old Testament). This is not true. Jews use all of the Old Testament scriptures, but they're organized in a different order. They call the first 5 books the Torah and the entire book of scriptures, the Tanakh.

Jews still follow the old laws in the Old Testament. They don't apply the same penalties for breaking the Mosaic laws, but they follow the laws, including the ones on diet. Christians have never followed the laws of Moses. Christians use the Old Testament to learn about the history of Judaism. We learn how God related to his people and how the arrival of Jesus was foretold to the ancient Jews.

The Old Testament for Jews is their first five books of their Torah.

Christians must observe The Ten Commandments. The New Testament is our True following of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Although we do study the Old Testament because of Prophecy.

What the Christians call the "Old Testament" is the Jewish holy book "The Tanakh.*

Jewish answer: The OT is part of Christianity, not Judaism. Our Tanakh is what your OT is translated from (with problems and misinterpretations). Our Tanakh is complete.

Sometimes a single word or phrase is mistranslated from the Hebrew; look at how it completely alters the meaning of the text though:

////////////

** Zechariah 12:10 − The Hebrew Tanakh: “and they shall look upon me whom they have stabbed/ thrust through [with swords”) The King James Version of Zechariah changes one word [stabbed] to “pierced.” BUT John 19:37 (New Testament) misquotes Zechariah to change the entire meaning by saying, “They shall look on him (instead of ME) whom they pierced.”

** Isaiah 7:14 − The Hebrew Tanakh says “Therefore, the Lord, of His own, shall give you a sign; behold, the young woman (alma) is with child, and she will bear a son and she shall call his name Immanuel.” **Take note, this was written in the present tense. ** But the Greek Septuagint changed “alma,” saying “Behold, a virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (Matthew 1:22-23). The church changed the entire verse from present to FUTURE tense and then went further to change the Hebrew alma, meaning a young woman to virgin.

** Isaiah 9:5 − The Hebrew Tanakh reads: “For a child has been born to us, a son has been given us and authority has settled on his shoulders. He has been named “The Mighty God” Isaiah was referring to King Hezekiah, son of Ahaz. Again, in an attempt to insert a Jesus prophecy, the KJV changed the tense from the present to the future, making it, “A child is born, a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God”. [In Hebrew Hezekiah means “the mighty God.”]

** Psalm 22:16 from the Hebrew Tanakh when correctly translated reads “They surrounded my hands and feet like a lion” (the word “ka’ari clearly means like a lion, as evident from its use in Isaiah 38:13 and other writings, even in the KJV). David was pursued by his enemies and often referred to them as “lions” (see Psalms 7 & 17). Yet, when read out of context the KJV mistranslates: “They pierced my hands and feet.” The passage was altered to indicate Jesus.

** One especially telling difference is that Christians have an entirely different breakdown of the Ten Commandments than Jews do. For Jews, the first commandment is "I am the Lord your G-d," and the second is "You shall have no other gods before me... You shall not make graven images." Christians don't consider "I am the Lord your G-d" as a commandment, and split the first two into "No other gods" and "no graven images." This seems like a small, inconsequential thing. But from the point of view of Judaism vs. Christianity, it is very telling. For Jews, the statement of G-d's identity is a commandment in and of itself, because there is only one G-d - the "I" in question. And therefore for Jews the commandment against other gods goes hand in hand with idolatry - you can not divide G-d, you can not worship more than one god, you can not pray to idols depicting other gods.

The Old Testament is just a small portion of the Jewish books

Orthodox Jews view that as their Scripture
