Compare Old Testament, Hebrew, and Samaritan Canons

Biblical scrolls

The Hebrew Bible and Protestant Old Testament have the same books arranged in a different order. Additionally, books that Christians divide into two parts (Kings, Chronicles, Samuel, and Ezra-Nehemiah) are single books in the Hebrew Bible. The Samaritan Bible contains only five books, the Torah (Pentateuch).

Some differences in content exist among first five books of the Samaritan, Jewish, and Christian Bibles.
