As indicated above, Christians normally employed the LXX Greek translation in early years, preferring it to the Hebrew texts that they generally could not read. In fact, Justin Martyr (c. 160 CE) regarded the LXX as the only reliable text of the Old Testament, asserting that the Jews had deliberately corrupted contemporary Hebrew texts. The exact order of books in the LXX did not standardize until late, but eventually, the order settled down to the following order, familiar to Christians:
Pentateuch
Genesis; Exodus; Leviticus; Numbers; Deuteronomy
Histories
Joshua; Judges; Ruth; 1-4 Kingdoms; 1-2 Chronicles "things left over"; 1-2 Esdras; Esther (expanded); Judith; Tobit
Wisdom
Psalms (expanded); Proverbs; Ecclesiastes; Song of Songs; Job; Wisdom of Solomon; Sirach
Prophecies
The Twelve; Isaiah; Jeremiah; Baruch; Lamentations; Letter of Jeremiah; Ezekiel; Daniel (expanded); 1-2 Maccabees; 3 Maccabees (sometimes); 4 Maccabees (sometimes)
