The books of The Bible were originally written on big rolls of papyrus, or scrolls, and codexes, or ancient manuscripts in book form. Because this meant they were both big and unwieldy, they were all put in book form ie as a codex, when printing was invented, and these were furthur subdivided into chapters and verses for convenience.

The Bible is divided into two parts for several reasons, but one of the biggest is the period of time between the revelations and instructions given in the first part (the Old Testament), and the information in the second part (the New Testament).

The law was also changed by Christ, who fulfilled the old law, and they were separate books for a long time before being compiled together.
