In this episode, Joe shares information regarding the names of the books in Hebrew and the names of the books in English and Latin and Greek and in all the other languages. The names of the book in Hebrew are a result of the fact that there were no names of the books, and so when they divided the books, the running text into sections that would be practical for the sake of the scrolls that they were written on, then they used one of the significant words in the beginning of the book, the Pentateuch. The five books of Moses were at one time, one composition, and they had to divide them for practical reasons because scrolls made from leather of a goat or of a sheep become heavy. Listen to this episode to learn more about why the names are different in English and Hebrew.
