@mir123 you are right in that the Jewish version of the Bible - the Torah - is different from the Christian Bible, and it is the Christian Bible I was referring to. All Christian Bibles are exactly the same with the exception of language, and the difference between the Catholic and Protestant Bibles is the Catholic Bible has all the Books (Maccabees, etc.) whereas the Protestants have left those Books out. The content, however, remains the same otherwise.

How interesting! Maccabees etc. would be considered Apocrypha in the Jewish Bible, along with Susannah, Tobias, and a few others. In Judaism the first five books--of Moses--compose the torah and the rest of the Jewish Bible is Prophets and "writings" which is psalms, proverbs, et al. I'm less familiar with Prophets, which to my surprise includes Judges, Samuel 1 & 2, etc. I'm actually loving the rise of kings, Saul, and David, and more. It feels relatable in a contemporary way.
