There are several different traditions as to what The Bible contains - the Ethiopian Orthodox church has the longest list, while the Masoretic Text is one of the shortest. This list is an attempt at a middle ground, not a definitive list according to any one faith.

While most material is shared, historically members of religious groups have decided to include or exclude different writings. The Book of Tobit, The Book of Judith, the Maccabees books, and many others are included in some tradition's orthodoxy and wholly ignored by others' (as is the entire New Testament, for that matter). Debates about what's Canon and what isn't continue to this day. That's not taking into account the multitude of different translations out there, not only between languages but within each language--leaving plenty of room for cases of Lost in Translation.

The first seven entries on the list, in the order given, are usually accepted as the start of all versions of The Bible.
