According to Jewish tradition, the Tanakh consists of twenty-four books.
The Tanakh counts as one book that is sometimes counted as two in Christian Bibles (e.g. 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings and so forth), and counts Trei Asar (תרי עשר, the Twelve Prophets; though literally, "twelve") as a single book.
Torah (תּוֹרָה, literally "teaching") consists of five books, commonly referred to as the "Five Books of Moses." Printed versions of the Torah are often called Chamisha Chumshei Torah (חמישה חומשי תורה, literally the "five fifths of the Torah"), and informally a Chumash.
In Hebrew, the books of the Torah are identified by the first prominent word in each book. The English names are derived from the Greek names given to the books in the Septuagint , which are based on the thematic content of each of the books, as follows:
Although most versions of the Old Testament count the number of books as totalling 21, counting the books of Samuel and Kings as two books each, and the "Twelve Prophets" (or the minor prophets) as 12 books, Jewish tradition does not:
6. (יהושע
/ Y'hoshua) - Joshua
7. (שופטים
/ Shophtim) - Judges
8. (שמואל
/ Sh'muel) - Samuel (I & II)
9. (מלכים
/ M'lakhim) - Kings (I & II)
10. (ישעיה
/ Y'shayahu) - Isaiah
11. (ירמיה
/ Yir'mi'yahu) - Jeremiah
12. (יחזקאל
/ Y'khezqel) - Ezekiel
13. The Twelve Prophets (תרי
עשר)

Ketuvim (כְּתוּבִים,
"Writings") are sometimes also known by the Greek title
"Hagiographa" and consists of 11 books. These encompass all the
remaining books, and include the Five Megillot (Five Scrolls).
They are sometimes also divided into such categories as Sifrei Emet (ספרי אמת, literally "Books of Truth") of Psalms
, Proverbs and Job (the Hebrew names of these three books
form the Hebrew word for "truth" as an acrostic, and all
three books have unique cantillation marks ), the "wisdom books"
of Job, Ecclesiastes, and Proverbs, the "poetry books" of Psalms ,
Lamentations and Song of Songs ,and the "historical books" of
Ezrah-Nehemiah and Chronicles . In the Jewish version, Ketuvim
consists of 11 books, counting Ezrah and Nehemiah as one book and I
and II Chronicles as a single book.
The "Sifrei
Emet," "Books of Truth":
14. (תהלים
/ Tehillim) - Psalms
15. (משלי
/ Mishlei) - Proverbs
16. (איוב
/ Iyov) - Job

20. (קהלת
/ Kohelet) - Ecclesiastes
21. (אסתר
