I believe it is a matter of semantics here. The original Hebrew Scriptures
were written in Hebrew. The original Old Testament of the Bible was in
Greek. Later the Hebrew version was used. Thus the difference in the
"Catholic" Bible and the "Protestant" Bible. The Apocrypha only appears in
the Greek version. Or so my Bible history texts tell me.

Of course, the New Testament was written in Greek, but I hate to burst your
bubble: What you refer to as the "Old Testament," or more correctly, the
Hebrew Scriptures, was indeed written in Hebrew.
Now, to bring this back on topic a wee bit, before the Newton purists freak
out, I took notes all through Divinity School on my trusty MP2100.
