2606、旧约的早期名称是“律法和先知”（马太福音22:40）。“律法”是指所有历史书，即：摩西五经，约书亚记、士师记、撒母耳记、列王纪。“先知” 是指所有先知书，即：以赛亚书、耶利米书、以西结书、何西阿书、约珥书、阿摩司书、俄巴底亚书、约拿书、弥迦书、那鸿书、哈巴谷书、西番雅书、哈该书、撒迦利亚书、玛拉基书，以及大卫诗篇。圣言的历史书也被称为“摩西”；因此，有时经上会说“摩西和众先知”，而不是“律法和先知”；先知书被称为“以利亚”（参看创世记18章序言）。

2606. CHAPTER 21 The Word of the Old Testament was formerly called the "Law and the Prophets." By the "Law" were meant all the historical books, which are the five books of Moses, and those of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings: by the "Prophets" were meant all the prophetical books, which are those of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zephaniah, Malachi; and also the Psalms of David. The historical books of the Word are also called "Moses;" hence it is occasionally said, "Moses and the Prophets," instead of the "Law and the Prophets;" and the prophetical books are called "Elias" (see the preface to the eighteenth chapter of Genesis).

2606. In former times the Old Testament Word used to be called The Law and The Prophets, the Law being used to mean all the historical narratives, which are the five books of Moses and the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings,a and the term Prophetical to mean all the prophetical utterances, which are the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel,b Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. There were also the Psalms of David. The historical sections of the Word are also referred to as 'Moses', and therefore the expression 'Moses and the Prophets' is used in various places instead of the Law and the Prophets, while the Prophetical parts are referred to as 'Elijah'. See the Preface to Genesis 18.
