Do not fill this in! ==Content== {{Main|Biblical canon|Development of the Old Testament canon}} The Old Testament contains 39 (Protestant), 46 (Catholic), or more (Orthodox and other) books, divided, very broadly, into the [[Torah|Pentateuch (Torah)]], the [[historical books]], the [[Poetic Books|"wisdom" books]] and the prophets.{{Sfn | Boadt | 1984 | pp = 11, 15–16}} The table below uses the spellings and names present in modern editions of the Christian Bible, such as the Catholic [[New American Bible Revised Edition]] and the Protestant [[Revised Standard Version]] and [[English Standard Version]]. The spelling and names in both the 1609–F10 Douay Old Testament (and in the 1582 [[Rheims New Testament]]) and the 1749 revision by [[Richard Challoner|Bishop Challoner]] (the edition currently in print used by many Catholics, and the source of traditional Catholic spellings in English) and in the Septuagint differ from those spellings and names used in modern editions which are derived from the Hebrew [[Masoretic Text]].{{Efn | Generally due to derivation from transliterations of names used in the Latin [[Vulgate]] in the case of Catholicism, and from transliterations of the Greek Septuagint in the case of the Orthodox (as opposed to the derivation of translations, instead of transliterations, of Hebrew titles) such [[Ecclesiasticus]] (DRC) instead of [[Sirach]] (LXX) or [[Ben Sira]] (Hebrew), [[Paralipomenon]] (Greek, meaning "things omitted") instead of [[Books of Chronicles|Chronicles]], Sophonias instead of [[Zephaniah]], Noe instead of [[Noah]], Henoch instead of [[Enoch (ancestor of Noah)|Enoch]], [[Messias]] instead of [[Messiah]], Sion instead of [[Zion]], etc.}} For the Orthodox canon, Septuagint titles are provided in parentheses when these differ from those editions. For the Catholic canon, the Douaic titles are provided in parentheses when these differ from those editions. Likewise, the [[King James Version]] references some of these books by the traditional spelling when referring to them in the New Testament, such as "Esaias" (for [[Isaiah]]). In the spirit of [[ecumenism]], more recent [[Catholic Bible#Catholic English versions|Catholic translations]] (e.g. the [[New American Bible]], [[Jerusalem Bible]], and ecumenical translations used by Catholics, such as the [[Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition]]) use the same "standardized" (King James Version) spellings and names as [[Protestant Bible]]s (e.g. [[1 Chronicles]] as opposed to the Douaic 1 Paralipomenon, [[1–2 Samuel]] and [[1–2 Kings]] instead of 1–4 Kings) in those books which are universally considered canonical: the [[protocanonical]]s. The [[Talmud]] (the Jewish commentary on the scriptures) in [[Bava Batra]] 14b gives a different order for the books in ''[[Nevi'im]]'' and ''[[Ketuvim]]''. This order is also cited in [[Mishneh Torah]] Hilchot [[Sefer (book)|Sefer]] Torah 7:15.{{Clarify|date=August 2023|reason=I don't understand what this is referring to; is this missing commas/additional info? Is 'Mishneh Torah Hilchot Sefer Torah' somehow one book and 7:15 a passage?}} The order of the books of the Torah is universal through all denominations of Judaism and Christianity. The disputed books, included in most canons but not in others, are often called the [[Biblical apocrypha]], a term that is sometimes used specifically to describe the books in the Catholic and Orthodox canons that are absent from the Jewish Masoretic Text and most modern [[Protestant]] Bibles. Catholics, following the [[Canon of Trent]] (1546), describe these books as deuterocanonical, while [[Greek Orthodox Church|Greek Orthodox]] Christians, following the [[Synod of Jerusalem (1672)]], use the traditional name of {{transliteration|grc|[[anagignoskomena]]}}, meaning "that which is to be read." They are present in a few historic Protestant versions; the German [[Luther Bible]] included such books, as did the English 1611 King James Version.{{Efn | The foundational [[Thirty-Nine Articles]] of [[Anglicanism]], in [[:s: Thirty-Nine Articles|Article VI]], asserts these disputed books are not used "to establish any doctrine", but "read for example of life." Although the Biblical Apocrypha are still used in [[Christian liturgy#Anglican Communion|Anglican Liturgy]],<ref>{{Citation | publisher = Orthodox Anglican | quote = Two of the hymns used in the American Prayer Book office of Morning Prayer, the [[Benedictus (Song of Zechariah)|Benedictus es]] and [[Benedicite]], are taken from the Apocrypha. One of the offertory sentences in Holy Communion comes from an apocryphal book (Tob. 4: 8–9). Lessons from the Apocrypha are regularly appointed to be reason Sunday, Sunday, and the special services of Morning and Evening Prayer. There are altogether 111 such lessons in the latest revised American Prayer Book Lectionary [Books used are: II Esdras, Tobit, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Three Holy Children, and I Maccabees.] | url = http://orthodoxanglican.net/downloads/apocrypha.pdf | title = The Apocrypha, Bridge of the Testaments | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090205074449/http://orthodoxanglican.net/downloads/apocrypha.pdf | archive-date = 2009-02-05 }}</ref> the modern trend is to not even print the Old Testament Apocrypha in editions of Anglican-used Bibles}} Empty table cells indicate that a book is absent from that canon.<!-- Per MOS:COLOUR, colour should not be the sole manner of communicating an article's content; as such, this table needs reworking so that it's more than just colour that indicates which group a book of the OT is held to belong to. --> {{legend|#ccf|outline=#A2A9B1|Pentateuch, corresponding to the Hebrew Torah}} {{legend|#fc9|outline=#A2A9B1|Historical books, most closely corresponding to the Hebrew Nevi'im (Prophets)}} {{legend|#9f9|outline=#A2A9B1|Wisdom books, most closely corresponding to the Hebrew Ketuvim (Writings)}} {{legend|#f9f|outline=#A2A9B1|Major Prophets}} {{legend|#ffc|outline=#A2A9B1|Twelve Minor Prophets}} {{sticky header}} {| class="wikitable sortable sticky-header" |- !
