The Holy Bible

 The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible is the book that God has given to mankind to enable man to know everything that he wants to know.  It is composed of the Old Testament and the New Testament.  The Old Testament consists of 39 books while the New Testament, 27 books, or a total of 66 books - the best library ever. The Holy Bible was written by about 40 people who lived in different times and in different places within a span of about 1,500 years starting from Mouses when he was 80 years old when God commanded him to write until Apostle Ioannes (John) wrote Revelation in the Island of Patmos in about our year 96.  The Old Testament was written in the Hebrew language while the New Testament in Koine Greek known as the Bible Greek which is now considered as a dead language as God obviously made it so in order that His Word would not be changed as languages grow and change as time goes by. The Old Testament was translated into Greek by 70 Israelite elders in Alexandria, Egypt, in about 270 B.C. called the Greek Old Testament or Septuagint abbreviated as LXX (Roman numerals for 70). I am a translator of the Holy Bible from Greek to English and I translate it plainly.  It's very easy to understand it with open heart and it's very sweet and beautiful.  I should want to help people understand the Word of God.  Please tell us what you want to be clarified.
