By the middle of the first century C.E. when Paul wrote these words, the 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures had been divided into either 22 or 24 books, most of which were likely in separate scrolls.
Esimese sajandi keskpaiku, kui Paulus need sõnad kirjutas, olid Piibli heebreakeelse osa 39 raamatut jagatud 22 või 24 raamatuks, millest enamik olid tõenäoliselt omaette kirjarullid.
