The words Old/New refer to Jesus, before him and after.
For Jewish people, Jesus isn’t the messiah. So there’s no old and new, there’s the Torah/Tanakh .
What do each the Torah & Tanakh have in common with the Old Testament? Where did the Christians get the OT?
What is the Torah?
The Torah is the Jewish holy book containing the law of God as Moses received it. It consists of five books: Bereshith, Shemot, VaYikra, BaMidbar, and Devarim (the Hebrew names of the books). These five books are exactly the same as the first five books of the Christian Bible, with the English names of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. They are also called the Pentateuch.

"When people mention the Jewish Bible, they usually refer to the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh. The term "Jewish Bible" is largely not preferred. The Hebrew Bible was originally written in Hebrew, with some small parts written in Aramaic. The main difference between the Torah vs. Tanakh is that the Torah is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible while the Tanakh is the whole Hebrew Bible."

"The Hebrew Bible is the sacred book of the Jews and is also called Tanakh. It contains the same books and information as the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, even though the order of the books is not exactly the same."
"There are many similarities between the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. The Protestant Old Testament has the same books as the Hebrew Bible, but the books are arranged in different orders. The Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox churches include the Deuterocanonical books, which are not included in the Hebrew Bible.[8]"

"Christianity has long asserted a close relationship between the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.[66] In Protestant Bibles, the Old Testament is the same as the Hebrew Bible, but the books are arranged differently. Catholic Bibles and Eastern Orthodox Bibles contain books not included in the Hebrew Bible called Deuterocanonical books.[67] Protestant English Bibles originally included the Deuterocanonical books, which Protestants term the Apocrypha. These books were removed when a slimmed-down King James Version was mass-produced by free Bible societies out of cost considerations.[68]"
