Hi

I was wondering if there was any difference between the old testament and the scripture the Jewish people refer to.

You know, that's a very good question. Looking forward to seeing the answer. :rolleyes:

they won't bother looking drett.
most have no clue what you are asking
 
It's pretty much the exact same thing. The Jews put the books in a different order, and think about the purpose a little different. There is also a little disagreement about the use of a more primitive Hebrew alphabet. Our OT is a translation of the Jewish Scriptures.

So, at the level of most Christians, no difference. At the level of Scripture scholars, minor differences worth discussing.
 
the Torah, psalms, proverbs (ketuvim) , prophets (navi) make up a book called the Tanukh which is basically our OT but with the books in a different order.

The Holy Scriptures — The Tanakh


However some Jewish sects also accept oral traditions and other writings as "scriptures" that Jesus taught AGAINST.

example: the Talmud:
