Pentateuch [Greek: 5 scrolls] = Torah [ Hebrew, "teaching"]
The above are the first 5 books in KJV, Gen thru Deut
Tanakh = "Old Testament" but in a different order
Talmud= A set of large volumes like an encyclopedia, with very intricate design, original text down the middle, commentary in smaller print along that, lesser commentary off in fine print to the edges of the page. Tells everything about everything, written c AD 200 to 900.

Someone previously mentioned that somewhere Mary was called a prostitute & Jesus a b******. Was that in the Talmud? I think people are getting Torah & Talmud mixed up. The Talmud is a commentary written by Jewish scholars, right? It is NOT scripture any more than Matthew Henry is "scripture."
