I guess there must be a reason for calling the first half of our bible the "Old Testament"? (Old Covenant). There are many covenants in the first half of our bible.
The only covenant I can see in the New Testament that is made reference to is the one made on Sinai (Ex 34:27ff; Deut 5:2ff, etc)
The Jews call Genesis thru Malachi (other books included) "The Tanakh." I am guessing their reasoning is about as good as ours. They get TaNaKh from the first letters of "Torah - first 5 books of Moses, Nevi'im - prophets, and K'tuvim - writings." They add vowels to TNK and bingo, they get Tanakh.
How do we get ours?
May the Lord be with us,
