From the Biblical Foundations for Freedom
There is a big difference between the order of the English OT Bible and the Hebrew Bible. The order of the English OT is given below, but there is also a chronological chart that is much more extensive and explanatory. Both of the diagrams below follow the three-fold classification of the Hebrew scriptures now being used.
Originally, there was a two-fold classification. The two-fold classification was simply the Law and the Prophets (Mt 5:17; Mk 11:13; Lk 24:27). Though the contents are the same, the Hebrew scriptures were organized differently. Both classifications were used in the New Testament when refering to the Old Testament scriptures..
