The Aramaic and Hebrew scrolls of the Pentateuch of the Old Testament (Tanakh) was completed by 1400 B.C. (when Moses died). From 1400 B.C to 400 B.C. the rest of the Old Testament was written and completed, from Joshua to Malachi. From time to time scribes copied the books to keep them readable and useful because they became fragile over time. Did you know these things?
