What language was the first Bible written in?

    it heavily isn't out of place to assert right here that the Bible wasn't written initially in English as such lots of seem to believe, judging from their arguments. some believe that the Scriptures have been written first in English and then set forth interior the barbarous languages of Latin, Greek or Hebrew for the sake of inquisitive pupils and critics. The old testomony became written in Hebrew and the hot testomony became written in Greek. The Hebrew text textile of the old testomony became translated into Greek, in the past the time of Christ via 70 translators.
