:''This article discusses usage of the term "Hebrew Bible". For the article on the Hebrew Bible itself, see Tanakh . Hebrew Bible is a term that refers to the common portions of the . "Hebrew" in "Hebrew Bible" may refer to either the Hebrew Language (see Hoffman 2004 ) or to the Jew s (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. Because it refers to the common portions of the Jewish and Christian biblical canons, it does not encompass the Deuterocanonical Books , largely from the Koine Greek Septuagint translation (LXX), included in the Old Testament by the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. Thus the term ''Hebrew Bible'' corresponds most fully to the Old Testament in use by the Protestant denominations that follow Jerome 's ''Veritas Hebraica'' doctrine. Nevertheless, it can be used accurately by all Christian denominations in general contexts, except where reference to specific translations or books is called for. REFERENCES SEE ALSO
