In what language was the Old Testament written?

  1. French

  2. Latin

  3. Greek

  4. Hebrew

The correct answer is: Hebrew

The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, not French, Latin, or Greek. While the New Testament was written in Greek, the Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and later translated into other languages. This is because Hebrew was the language of the ancient Israelites, the people whose history is chronicled in the Old Testament. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
