1/ There's a spicy debate over the order of books in the Jewish canon & then subsequently the order that the books should have in our Christian Bible today.
Was #Chronicles at the end of Jesus' Bible?
1 It is said that Jesus' Bible was the long-closed Jewish canon that ended with the books of #Chronicles. Baba Bathra 14b (ca. 200 AD) has this order. But how old and well-known was it?
2 Many argue Matt 23:35//Lk 11:51 support this...

What about early, external evidence against this view?
1 Later Jewish MSS do not end with #Chronicles. They end with Ezra-Nehemiah (See Leningrad image).
2 The Writings begin with Chronicles (see Aleppo pics of end of Malachai and beginning of Chronicles in that sequence+L image).

None of these lists end with #Chronicles.
Not even Jerome?

That's possible. But so many Christians claim to know the Jewish Bible, it's difficult to discount all the evidence.
But evidence of this pattern before this time is lacking.
