Best Answer

It is technically 24 books split into three sections: The Torah("Teaching", also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im("Prophets"), and Ketuvim ("Writings").

To give you a size reference, the Old Testament is the Christian rearrangement of the Tanakh, so it's a bit more than half of the Holy Bible.
