The Old Testament is a theological work of the Jewish faith. The intent of this work was to preserve the history and traditions of both Israel society and God's people. When it was written, most of the text was in Hebrew and the idea for the book came from a time when the Hebrew language was still strong. Many people around that time considered Hebrew to be a sacred language, which meant it had certain powers to affect believers and influence their thoughts.
