Hebrew texts
Old Testament originals
Hebrew texts are writings in the Hebrew language, typically referring to ancient Jewish religious and literary works.
The phrase most often designates the scriptures that form the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), including the Torah, prophetic books, and wisdom literature.
Scholars study Hebrew texts to understand ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and Semitic languages: The Dead Sea Scrolls are among the oldest surviving Hebrew texts.
