Origin of the Word "Bible" and "Scripture" story Gubla (present-day Jbail in Lebanon) is a Phoenician town noted for its abundant papyrus.

Before paper was derived from trees ancients used fibre from the stem of the papyrus plant upon which to write messages and documents. They rolled them up into safekeeping and handled these delicately due to their tendency to become brittle over time. Unlike wood and stone, which the ancients used for inscriptions, papyrus was lighter, easier to transport and certainly easier to use and keep.In 1200 B.C. The Greeks renamed the city Byblos from their word for book which by this time was made of papyrus.

Since books were made from pages of papyrus and Gubla was the known world's center, they called the town Byblos. Later, Romans translated the word for book (Byblos) into the Latin Biblia, and it is this word which the English word "Bible" was derived. Jerome's Latin translation of the Bible is called the "Vulgate" from the Latin word Vulgate, meaning "common people.

The Scriptures of this library are "holy" or set apart from others. They are the books recognized by the Church Christians) as inspired 0 Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written Ezek.37: 15-20 15 ¶ The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying 16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and d write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand 18 ¶ And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand 20 ¶ And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
