In this episode, Joe shares information regarding the names of the books in Hebrew and the names of the books in English and Latin and Greek and in all the other languages.

The five books of Moses were at one time, one composition, and they had to divide them for practical reasons because scrolls made from leather of a goat or of a sheep become heavy.
