10325. The books of the Word are all those which have the internal sense; books which do not have it are not the Word. The books of the Word in the Old Testament are: The five Books of Moses; the Book of Joshua; the Book of Judges; the two Books of Samuel; the two Books of Kings; the Psalms of David; and the Prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi. And in the New Testament they are: The four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and the Book of Revelation.

16. The Books which are indeed of the Word

The Books of the Word are all those which have an internal sense, while those which do not have this are not the Word. The Books of the Word in the Old Testament are the five Books of Moses; Joshua; Judges; the two Books of Samuel; the two Books of Kings; the Psalms of David; the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi; in the New Testament the four Evangelists - Matthew, Mark, Luke, John - and Revelation. The rest do not have an internal sense: 10325.

The Book of Job is an ancient book in which indeed there are elements of internal sense, but it is not continuous throughout: 3540, 9942.
