What was The Bible written on?

The Bible was written most likely on Papyrus paper. This is paper make from a special Papyrus plant. When they copied the Bible to make more of it, it was a very long task. They would have a room full of scribes with paper and ink in in front of them. A priest would stand in front of them and read from the Bible, one word at a time, and then he would repeat the word.The scribe would copy the word onto his paper. If a scribe messed up just barely, they would burn everything they had already copied, and completely restart. It was very important to them.
