2 Timothy 3:15-17
The early church used the Greek translation of the OT as their Bible. Many of the OT verses quoted in the NT were taken from the Greek translation called the Septuagint which was 70 in Greek. The 39 books had been translated from Hebrew to Greek in 250 BC by 72 scholars (6 of the most prominent from each of the 12 tribes of Israel) in Egypt.
These 39 books had come to be recognized by the Jewish people as the Scriptures given to them by God. It was after they returned to the Promised Land to rebuild the second temple in 400 BC that the priests compiled what we know as the 39 books of the OT.
