Actually, surprisingly few. I don't own any English language Bibles at the moment, and I have no copies of the New Testament at all, except in the cloud. I have one little Tanach, that is to say the OT purely in Hebrew, which I bought for reasons of size and cheapness as a more or less pocket copy. I think I probably have similar on the CD which lethargic_man made from me by downloading the whole of a repository of Jewish texts from an Israeli website, but I didn't count that separately.

Lots and lots of editions of the Pentateuch in Hebrew, English, parallel text, with or without commentary, but I can't really count Genesis through Deuteronomy as a whole Bible. All the moving I've been doing recently has led me to rely on Bible Gateway any time I need to look something up in English or grep the text. I should probably rectify that; a physical KJV is the kind of thing one ought to own, I think.
