Uhm, I think you have your question worded, sort of, backwards.

The Christian Bible's "Old Testament" is the Jewish/Hebrew Torah.

There is no Hebrew "bible".
The principal book of the Jewish religion is the Thora (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numeri, Deuteronomium).
Beside the Thora they have also the Psalms and most of the prophets. So you can`t say that the Old Testament is the Hebrew Bible.

The Hebrew Bible is The Old Testament in the Christian Bible. Catholics refer to the time of Moses (old testament) as the "tempus legis" or "time of law," and the time of Christ as being the "tempus gratie," or "time of grace." The Hebrew bible is basically used as in introduction to the world before Jesus- Jews do not support Jesus being the son of God, therefore their Bible doesn't continue into the "tempus gratie," like the Christian Bible does.
