The Old Testament contains 39 (Protestant), 46 (Catholic), or more (Orthodox and other) books, divided, very broadly, into the Pentateuch (Torah), the historical books, the "wisdom" books and the prophets. Main articles: Biblical canon and Development of the Old Testament canon Some are also contained in the Dead Sea Scrolls. These books are ultimately derived from the earlier Greek Septuagint collection of the Hebrew scriptures and are also Jewish in origin. Most Protestant Bibles do not include the deuterocanonical books in their canon, but some versions of Anglican and Lutheran Bibles place such books in a separate section called apocrypha.

Christians traditionally divide the Old Testament into four sections: the first five books or Pentateuch (which corresponds to the Jewish Torah) the history books telling the history of the Israelites, from their conquest of Canaan to their defeat and exile in Babylon the poetic and " Wisdom books" dealing, in various forms, with questions of good and evil in the world and the books of the biblical prophets, warning of the consequences of turning away from God. The Old Testament consists of many distinct books by various authors produced over a period of centuries. The second division of Christian Bibles is the New Testament, written in the Koine Greek language. The Old Testament ( OT) is the first division of the Christian biblical canon, which is based primarily upon the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh, a collection of ancient religious Hebrew and occasionally Aramaic writings by the Israelites.
