Katz, What we refer to as The Old Testament, The Tanach, has been extensively modified by the Christian Church particularly the Protestant Churches. These modifications extend to the books included, the order of the books and the content. Even the ten commandments have been modified.
If you want to understand some of this, I suggest 'Understanding Judaism - The Basics of Creed and Deed' by Rabbi Benjamin Blech. This book compares and contrasts Jewish and Christian beliefs and the reasons behind them. It is also important to remember that the Tanach (Old Testament) is not a stand-alone document, but rather a part of the Talmud and can only be understood when taken in context.
