Other than changing the order, I don’t see the point. The author is counting the Minor Prophets as one book instead of twelve, and lumping together Joshua and Judges, and I/II Samuel and I/II Kings, into one book. If the content of the writings aren’t changed, then that all just seems like formatting and semantics IMO. But I don’t pretend to be a scholar, I just read the Word and try (sometimes even successfully!) to follow it.

On Christmas eve I was pondering on the prophecies that the Magi used to know about the star and why they followed it to bethlehem and what it meant. Those writings are not included in the Old Testament. The Numbers 24:17 reference is just not sufficient and is too vague to fit the bill.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm...

Plus, There are many sacred writings mentioned in the scriptures that we do not have today, among which are these books and writers:

Ex. 24: 7 took the book of the covenant.
Num. 21: 14 book of the wars of the Lord.
Josh. 10: 13 (2 Sam. 1: 18) book of Jasher.
1 Sam. 10: 25 Samuel . . . wrote it in a book.
1 Kgs. 11: 41 book of the acts of Solomon.
1 Chr. 29: 29 book of Samuel the seer.
2 Chr. 9: 29 book of Nathan the prophet.
2 Chr. 12: 15 book of Shemaiah the prophet.
2 Chr. 13: 22 acts of Abijah . . . in the story of the prophet Iddo.
2 Chr. 20: 34 book of Jehu.
2 Chr. 33: 19 written among the sayings of the seers.
Matt. 2: 23 spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
1 Cor. 5: 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle.
Eph. 3: 3 as I wrote afore in few words.
Col. 4: 16 read the epistle from Laodicea.
Jude 1: 3 when I gave all diligence to write unto you.
Jude 1: 14 Enoch also . . . prophesied of these.

Some day, I know all things will be revealed by God.
