God's Covenants with Noah and the Patriarchs of Israel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Genesis describes God's creation of the world and our first parents Adam and Eve, the Flood, and The Law contains the five Books of Moses, also known as the Torah or Pentateuch. The three major Christian religions follow the Greek pattern and will serve as the outline for this discussion. The Greek codices arranged the books in a fourfold division, a different way than Hebrew Scripture, by placing the Law of Moses first, then the Historical Books including the Former Prophets, then the Psalms and Wisdom Literature, and then the Latter Prophets.

The oldest surviving translation of Hebrew Scripture was the Greek Septuagint, which was undertaken in the third century BC in Egypt by Jewish scholars who had migrated there during the Diaspora. The differing traditions have led to the disparity found in the Old Testament canons among Christian religions. The writings of the Old Testament are preserved in three languages - Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, and are available in the following manuscripts: the Greek Septuagint from Alexandria the Masoretic Hebrew text from Tiberias, Galilee the newly discovered Dead Sea Scrolls of the Essenes and the Aramaic Targums and the Syriac Aramaic Peshitta Bible. The word Bible, which means "the book," is derived from the city of Byblos, a key source of the Phoenician alphabet. The threefold division - and original order - of Hebrew Scripture was evident at the time of Jesus, who referred to "The Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms (Luke 24:44)." The Old Testament was composed in Hebrew, except for the following written in Aramaic - Genesis 31:47, Jeremiah 10:11, Ezra 4:8-6:18 and 7:12-26, and nearly half of the Book of Daniel (2:4-7:28). The Old Testament is Hebrew Scripture or Tanakh, and is composed of the Law, the Torah or Pentateuch, the Prophets or Neviim, and the Writings, the Kethuvim or Hagiographa. His promise of a Redeemer is recorded in a number of Messianic prophecies in Hebrew Scripture, among them Genesis 3:15, Deuteronomy 18:15-18, 2 Samuel 7:14-16, I Chronicles 17:12-14, Psalms 2, 22, and 110, Isaiah 7:14 and 52:13-53:12, Daniel 7:13-14 and 9:24-27, Micah 5:2, and Zechariah 9:9 and 12:10. The Old Testament relates God's Creation of the world and his Word to Israel. The Old Testament of the Bible was written in Hebrew and our New Testament in the West was written in Greek.
