The Tanakh serves as the textual basis of the [[Christian]] [[Old Testament]], though the Old Testament is broken up into more books and ends in the Book of [[Malachi]] since Christians believe that it predicts the arrival of [[Jesus]], and it leads into the [[New Testament]]. In contrast, the Tanakh ends at 2 Chronicles with the Israelites in the Holy Land.
