Basically, the Hebrew Scriptures are called the Old Testament and covered the early history of man and the history of the Jews, who were God's chosen people. The Old Testament was written primarily in Greek, although a few books were written in Aramaic. The "Greek" Scriptures covered the life of Jesus and the beginning of Christianity (and the Book of Revelation was a book of prophecy). They were written primarily in Greek.
