Hebrew Bible is a term that refers to the common portions of the Jewish and Christian canons.
"Hebrew" in "Hebrew Bible" may refer to either the Hebrew language (see Hoffman 2004) or to the Jews (the Hebrew people and Johnson 1988) who historically used the Hebrew language as a spoken language, and have continuously used the language in prayer and study, or both.

 Hebrew Bible Encyclopedia Article
As compared with the Latin Vulgate, the Hebrew Bible includes the entire Old Testament with the exception of the seven deuterocanonical books, Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, I and II Machabees, and the deuterocanonical portions of Esther (x, 4 to end) and Daniel (iii, 24-90; xiii; xiv).
Even if several of these books were written in Aramaic, that fact alone would not account for their exclusion from the Hebrew Bible, since lengthy passages of Daniel (ii, 4, to vii, 28) and of Esdras (iv, 7, to vi, 18; vii, 12 to 26) are in that language.

 Hebrew Bible / Old Testament
The program of study in the Hebrew Bible is itself subdivided into different specializations, in recognition of the fact that students generally wish to define their interest in Bible in terms of various related disciplines and fields.
Students are thus asked to choose among the following paths of specialization: Bible and the History of Israel (concentrating in either the preexilic or postexilic periods); Bible and Archaeology; Bible and Semitic Philology; Bible and Theology/History of Exegesis (concentrating in either theology or the history of exegesis).

 Canons of the Hebrew Bible
As accustomed as many of us are to seeing the books of the Bible in a certain arrangement, it is easy to forget that such arrangement is the product of a certain religious tradition, and that other religious traditions might have other ways of seeing the biblical books.
For some, their own particular arrangement or selection of books to include is just the truth of the matter, and they will defend their own tradition’s perspective.
There is debate as to whether this was the retention of an older arrangement or was a deliberate attempt to distance itself from the Christian canon.
