This volume contains the Former Prophets: Joshua,Judges,Ruth,1&2 Samuel,1 & 2 Kings & The Holy Writings:1&2 Chronicles,Ezra,Nehemiah,Esther. Aramaic was the native language of Jesus and of Israel in the 1st century AD. The text translated is the 6th-7th cent. Codex Ambrosianus- the oldest complete Semitic Old Testament.

Either way, the Peshitta Old and New Testaments together constitute the first Christian Bible.
