How many years between old and new testament

The Old Testament was written over a period of several centuries, from approximately 1200 BCE to 150 BCE. The New Testament, on the other hand, was written in the 1st century CE, with the earliest texts dating back to around 50 CE and the latest texts dating back to around 150 CE.

So, there is a gap of approximately 1,350 to 1,400 years between the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Here's a rough breakdown of the timeline:

• Old Testament: 1200 BCE - 150 BCE (approximately 1,350 years)
  • The earliest texts, such as the Pentateuch (Genesis-Deuteronomy), were written around 1200 BCE.
  • The latest texts, such as the book of Malachi, were written around 150 BCE.
• New Testament: 50 CE - 150 CE (approximately 100 years)
  • The earliest texts, such as the letters of Paul, were written around 50 CE.
  • The latest texts, such as the book of Revelation, were written around 150 CE.

It's worth noting that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, while the New Testament was written in Greek. The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, was produced around 250 BCE, which helped to facilitate the transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
