Question

Hint: there maybe more than one answer

Answer 1

OT in Hebrew. NT in Greek. I have the long story about it, but I am tired, and don't feel like getting up to find it to answer the best I can. Sorry.

Answer 2

The Old Testament was composed mainly of Biblical Hebrew and a little Aramaic. The New Testament was written in Koine Greek.

Answer 3

Mostly Hebrew for the Old, mostly Greek for the New.
The Jewish scribes were careful to copy the scrolls.
Even though it took years to copy one, when it was finished , they counted every letter. If the count was off, even one letter, the copy was destroyed.
For the New, nearly everyone in the known world knew Greek, since Alexander the Great had decreed years before that Greek was to be taught everywhere in his empire.
So it made sense to publish the letters and Gospels in Greek, even though most of the writers also spoke Aramaic and Hebrew.
