There isn't 46 books in the old testament.
Sirach is the name of one of the books of the Old Testament, and was written in Hebrew between 200 and 175 B.C. It does not appear in most Protestant Bibles although it has always been recognized as inspired Scripture by the Catholic Church. Protestants Reformers denied its canonicity in the 16th century after the Catholic Church repeated its affirmation of the book's canonicity.
The Greek name given to the first five books of the Old Testament is "Pentateuch."
The Protestant Bible has no specific name associated with it, other than "the Bible" or "the Holy Bible." The distinction is usually in the content; the Protestant Bible omits the Apocrypha and the Deuterocanonical books usually included in Roman Catholic texts. Both Catholic and Protestant Bibles come in a wide variety of translations.
