Ketuvim Netzarim  are the writings of the Nazarenes (what Christians commonly refer to as "the New Testament"*).  Netzarim is the term Jews used in the time of Yeshua to describe Jewish Talmidim (disciples) of Yeshua (Jesus) HaMashiyach (the anointed).  The Ketuvim Netzarim were written in Hebrew and Aramaic, later they were translated into Greek for circulation among Greek speaking followers of Yeshua.

 

Ketuvim is a common Hebrew term used for the third and final section of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible which Christians refer to as the "Old Testament"**). The Hebrew word כתובים (ketuvim) means "writings".  In English translations of the Hebrew Bible, this section is also usually entitled "The Writings".  In the Jewish textual tradition, Chronicles is counted as one book. Ezra and Nehemiah are also counted together as a single book called "Ezra."  Thus, there are total of eleven books in the section called Ketuvim.
