Old Testament

The first part of the Bible, the Old Testament, consists of 39 books that have reached our time thanks to the careful work of scribes who, generation after generation, preserved and rewrote the original text. By the 6th century A.D.

The baton of preserving and transmitting the Scriptures was taken up by the Masoretes, who preserved the Holy Scriptures for another five centuries in a form known as the “Masoretic text.”

The main Masoretic schools were considered Babylonian, Palestinian and Tiberian. However, by the 10th century, the Ben-Asher dynasty from Tiberias stood out among the Masoretes.

After several editions, Ben Asher's text became the single accepted form of Hebrew Scripture in the 12th century.

Presumably written in the XV-IV centuries BC. It is not known who collected the books of the Old Testament together, but according to Jewish tradition it is believed that it was Ezra and his assistants. Around 270 BC. By order of the Egyptian king Ptolemy Philadelphus, 70 Jews from Jerusalem were invited to Alexandria, who translated all the books from Hebrew (Hebrew) into Greek (the so-called translation of the seventy, or Septuagint).

The 39 books of the Old Testament can be divided into the following sections:

– The Law of the Pentateuch (Torah) - the main part of the Old Testament (Genesis - Deuteronomy)

– Historical books (I. Navin - Esther)

– Educational books (Job - Song of Songs)

– Prophetic books (Isaiah - Malachi)

New Testament

The second part of the Bible, the New Testament, is a collection of 27 books written in the 1st century and extant in ancient Greek.

The New Testament translation is based on the traditional text of the Greek-speaking churches, first published in 1516 and later called the Textus Receptus, or recognized text, and was the basis text for Luther, Calvin, Tyndale, the King James Version, and the King James Version. .

Unlike the Old Testament, which was allegedly written in the 15th-4th centuries BC. e., the new one was written in the 1st century AD. e., originally in Greek (except for the first - the Holy Gospel of Matthew - which was written in Aramaic, and only then translated into Greek).

The 27 books of the New Testament can be divided into the following sections:

– The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the main part of the New Testament

– Historical book (Acts of the Apostles)

– Educational books (James - Hebrews)

– Prophetic book (Revelation (Apocalypse))

My Bible is a testament in the palm of your hand.
