The Bible is a collection of texts that were written over a period of many centuries. The process of putting together the texts that make up the Bible was a gradual one that took place over several centuries. The exact dates of when the individual books were written are not known with certainty, but scholars have made estimates based on historical, linguistic, and literary evidence.
The oldest texts of the Bible are those of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Old Testament. These texts were written primarily in Hebrew, with some portions (such as the book of Daniel) written in Aramaic. The process of compiling and editing these texts is thought to have begun in the 12th century BC, with the earliest texts being written around this time. The majority of the texts were likely written between the 12th and 2nd centuries BC.

The texts of the Old Testament were written by a variety of authors, including priests, prophets, and poets. They cover a wide range of topics, including history, law, prophecy, and wisdom literature. Many of the texts were passed down orally before being written down, and they were likely edited and revised over time.
The texts of the New Testament were written in Greek and were composed between approximately 50 AD and 100 AD. These texts were written by early Christian communities and were intended to provide guidance and instruction for these communities. The texts include the Gospels (which tell the story of Jesus’ life and teachings), the Acts of the Apostles (which describe the early history of the Christian church), the letters (also known as epistles) written by Paul and other early Christian leaders, and the book of Revelation.
Over time, different collections of texts were brought together to form what is now known as the Bible. The process of canonization, or determining which texts would be included in the Bible, took place over several centuries. The canon of the Hebrew Bible was likely established by the 2nd century BC, while the canon of the New Testament was not fully established until the 4th century AD.
