The Protestant Old Testament

Biblical scrolls

The Jewish Bible and the Protestant Old Testament contain the same books but they are arranged in a different order. Additionally, books that Christians divide into two parts (Kings, Chronicles, Samuel, and Ezra-Nehemiah) are only one book in the Hebrew Bible.

Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox, and Ethiopian Orthodox churches include even more books in their Old Testament canons.
