The '''Old Testament''' ('''Tanakh''' ('''תנ״ך''') in Hebrew) is a collection of different biblical books comprising the [[Judaism|Jewish]] religious scriptures. It can be divided into three general categories: Historical, Poetic, and Prophetic.<ref>[https://www.answers.com/Q/The_Old_Testament_is_divided_into_what_sections The Old Testament is divided into what sections? (answers.com)]</ref> The Old Testament was inspired by [[God]], giving His teachings to human beings in document form: using direct communication with [[Moses]], communicating through the Prophets, and through works inspired by the Holy Spirit (''Ruach HaKodesh''), in the Sacred Writings. The human authors of some books are known, while for others the authorship remains a matter of controversy. The Hebrew names of these three sections give rise to the acronym "Tanakh": [[Torah]] (''Instruction''), Nevi'im (''Prophets''), and K'tuvim (''Sacred Writings'').

In March 2022, a 3,200 years old ancient Hebrew inscription, Deuteronmy 27:15-6 based text was discovered at Mount Ebal in Israel on lead, referring to God Yahweh. Israeli expert Prof. asserts it's "a death blow to all biblical deniers."<ref>Yitzhak Tessler, Elisha Ben Kimon, [https://m.ynet.co.il/articles/skryigcf5" This is an earthquake in biblical study": 3,200-year-old "curse" from "Curse Mountain [Ebal]" was revealed], '"Ynet'', 24 March 2022.<blockquote>
An inscription in ancient Hebrew, with the explicit name, was discovered on Mount Ebal in Samaria, and dates to the 13th century BC. Prof. Gershon Galil from the University of Haifa says that this is the oldest Hebrew inscription found so far - evidence of the use of the Hebrew language in biblical times.
A rare archeological find from Mount Ebal: A small, folded 3,200-year-old lead plate sheds new light on biblical study - and was unveiled today (Thursday). Inside it - an ancient curse in ancient Hebrew script ("Proto-Canaanite"), with the God's explicit name [of the Divine]. Prof. Gershon Galil, from the University of Haifa, calls the discovery an "earthquake in biblical studies." He said, "The new find unearthed today is the earliest Hebrew inscription found so far."

Prof. Gershon Galil of the University of Haifa calls the discovery an "earthquake in biblical studies." He said, "The new find unearthed today is the earliest Hebrew inscription found so far."
Prof. Galil says that to this day, with the discovery of the inscription from the 13th century BC, the oldest inscription in Hebrew has been dated to the tenth century BC. "It was an inscription found in the ruins of Kaifa, near the Ella Valley, by Prof. Yossi Garfinkel from the Hebrew University, and I was the one who deciphered it," he says.
"The new finding is a death blow to all biblical deniers," Prof. Galil emphasizes. "Many biblical critics have argued that in the 13th century BCE, the people of Israel could not read and write, and therefore could not write the Bible. Therefore, biblical deniers have claimed that the Bible was written very late, in the Persian or Hellenistic period.
The small lead tablet, from the 13th century BC, was discovered on Mount Ebal in Samaria, known as the biblical "Curse Mountain" - and inside it was cursed:
Cursed, damn, [Arur ארור],
Cursed before the Lord God...
Cursed before Yahweh...
It is not clear who wrote the ancient curse, but according to Prof. Galil, it is a high-level work: "Anyone who knows how to write a text with a chiastic reception can write everything," he says. "At this stage, unfortunately, it is not yet possible to reveal all the information that has been revealed, as it is awaiting peer review and academic publication.</blockquote></ref> [Lead was already used in Biblical times, such as Numbers 31.22, when [[Moses]] spoke to the Jews regarding utensils made out of lead].
[[Christians]] embrace the Old Testament as part of their holy scriptures, which, together with the [[New Testament]] make up the [[Bible]]. In contrast to Jews, they see the Old Testament giving prophetic references to the coming of [[Jesus Christ]]. Versions from ancient times exist in both Hebrew and [[Greek]] including the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] giving a very ancient snapshot dating back to the time of Jesus.
