What is the 3rd book of the Old Testament?

Answer 1

The fifth book of the Old Testament, and the last book of the Pentateuch, is Deuteronomy. Tradition holds that Deuteronomy was written by Moses, but a modern view, held by many scholars, is that Deuteronomy was written by an anonymous source, now known as the Deuteronomist, around 622 BCE.

The fifth book is that of Deuteronomy, which covers topics that relate to the Israelites as they are about to enter the Holy Land. The book explicitly states that it was written by Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24) as commanded by God (Deut.1:3). This tradition has been handed down, without break, for 3300 years, and is attested to by ancient non-Jewish writers as well. The modern hypothesis which claims to ascribe Deuteronomy to people other than Moses need not concern believers, since the theory has lost credibility, as Archaeology and other disciplines have demonstrated the integrity of the Torah. No fragments have ever been found that would support the Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:

Answer 2

Malakias or Malachi is the last book of the old testament.

The last book of the Old Testament (in the version used in the Western world) is called: "Malachi" after the main character, the prophet Malachi. It is the twelfth book in the book of prophets, Nebiim. Together with Torah (the Mosaic laws) and Khetubim (scriptures, history) it forms the acronym Tenakh, meaning all of the Old Testament.

As can be seen from this acronym, Malachi will not be the last book in the Jewish version of The Bible (they only use the Old Testament), it being in the Nebiim.
