The hebrew canon has never held those book.. all the OT is written by Jewish prophets in Hebrew
Jerome did not include them in the canon, Epiphanius rejected them all.
Hilary ) rejected the apocrypha

I could go on...but for someone to say that they were a part of the official Hebrew canon is wrong..

Your claims have no basis in history.
Somewhere between 430 B.C., under Esdras & Nehemiah, and 100 B.C. the O.T. was settled IN HEBREW.
Although there were Greek translations from then until Jerome made a fresh Latin translation, under Pope Damasus, the same collection of books remained.
In his cell in Bethlehem, between 392 and 404, he translated the O.T. into Latin DIRECTLY FROM THE HEBREW!
This is the same O.T. collection decreed by the Council of Trent to be included in the authoritative Bible in 1546.
The Council of Carthage settled the N.T. in 397.
What authority do you claim for Epiphanius and Hilary?
