The word 'canon' does not exist in Hebrew.

Jewish canon is little more complex. What Christians call the Old Testament is called the Tanakh which consists of three parts.

TORAH (The Law):

  • Bereishith (In the beginning...) (Genesis)
  • Shemoth (The names...) (Exodus)
  • Vayiqra (And He called...) (Leviticus)
  • Bamidbar (In the wilderness...) (Numbers)
  • Devarim (The words...) (Deuteronomy)

NEVI'IM (The Prophets):

  • Yehoshua (Joshua)
  • Shoftim (Judges)
  • Shmuel (I &II Samuel)
  • Melakhim (I & II Kings)
  • Yeshayah (Isaiah)
  • Yirmyah (Jeremiah)
  • Yechezqel (Ezekiel)
  • The Twelve (treated as one book)
    • Hoshea (Hosea)
    • Yoel (Joel)
    • Amos
    • Ovadyah (Obadiah)
    • Yonah (Jonah)
    • Mikhah (Micah)
    • Nachum
    • Chavaqquq (Habbakkuk)
    • Tzefanyah (Zephaniah)
    • Chaggai
    • Zekharyah (Zechariah)
    • Malakhi

KETUVIM (The Writings):

  • Tehillim (Psalms)
  • Mishlei (Proverbs)
  • Iyov (Job)
  • Shir Ha-Shirim (Song of Songs)
  • Ruth
  • Eikhah (Lamentations)
  • Qoheleth (the author's name) (Ecclesiastes)
  • Esther
  • Daniel
  • Ezra & Nechemyah (Nehemiah) (treated as one book)
  • Divrei Ha-Yamim (The words of the days) (Chronicles)

Then you have the oral Torah or Talmud-

a tradition explaining what the above scriptures mean and how to interpret them and apply the Laws. Orthodox Jews believe G-d taught the Oral Torah to Moses, and he taught it to others, down to the present day. This tradition was maintained only in oral form until about the 2d century C.E., when the oral law was compiled and written down in a document called the Mishnah.

Over the next few centuries, additional commentaries elaborating on the Mishnah were written down in Jerusalem and Babylon. These additional commentaries are known as the Gemara. The Gemara and the Mishnah together are known as the Talmud. This was completed in the 5th century C.E.

The Mishnah is divided into six sections called sedarim

  • Zera'im (Seeds), dealing with agricultural laws
    • Berakhot
    • Peah
    • Demai
    • Kilayim
    • Shebiit

    • Pesachim
    • Sheqalim
    • Yoma
    • Sukkah
    • Besah
    • Rosh Hashanah

    • Megillah
    • Moed Qatan
    • Hagigah
  • Nashim (Women), dealing with marriage, divorce and contracts
    • Yebamot
    • Ketubot
    • Nedarim
    • Nazir
    • Sotah
    • Gittin
    • Qiddushin
  • Nezikin (Damages), dealing with tort laws and other financial laws
    • Baba Qamma
    • Baba Mesia
    • Baba Batra
    • Sanhedrin
    • Makkot
    • Shabuot
    • Eduyyot
    • Avodah Zarah
    • Avot (also known as Pirkei Avot, Ethics of the Fathers)
    • Horayot
  • Kodashim (Holy Things), dealing with sacrifices and the Temple
    • Zevachim
    • Menachot
    • Chullin
    • Bekhorot
    • Arakhin
    • Temurah
    • Keritot
    • Meilah
    • Tamid
    • Middot
    • Qinnim
  • Toharot (Purities), dealing with laws of ritual purity and impurity
    • Kelim
    • Ohalot
    • Negaim
    • Parah
    • Tohorot
    • Miqvaot
    • Niddah
    • Makhshirin
    • Zabim
    • Tebul-Yom
    • Yadayim
    • Uqsin
    There are other commentaries and writings, such as the Zohar, but both the Tanakah and the Talmud are authoritative
