The Jewish Bible - order of books

I thought I might share the order of the books in Tenakh, they are different than Catholic or Protestant orders.

Torah - Teaching ( Law)

Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy

Nevi'im (Prophets)

Joshua
Judges
Samuel
Kings
Isaiah
Jeremiah
Ezekiel
Hoshea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habukkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi

K'tuvim ( writings)

Psalms
Proverbs
Job
Song of Solomon
Ruth
Lamentations
Ecclesiastes
Esther
Daniel
Ezra
Nehemiah
Chronicles

I learned this a long time ago, but quite by accident so to speak, when Jesus spoke of the death of Abel the righteous to Zecharriah son of berechiah (Genesis to Chronicles).

But as for this book order, my personal bible for study at least is called the International Standard Version (i like it cause its free amongst other things and will always be available for download.

But the next edition they are releasing is actually in the classical Tanakh order, which I think is great (I emailed them about this and they seem to have taken it on).

Anyway, the bible (complete new testament with Psalms and seperate Tanakh (not yet fully finished) can be downloaded from http://isv.org (no www).
