Igama elithi Bhayibheli ngokwalo limane nje liguqulela igama lesiGreki elithi bíblos (βίβλος), elisho ukuthi "incwadi". Ngakho-ke iBhayibheli limane nje liyincwadi.

Vele, amagama okuqala emiBhalo ayebhalwa esikhumbeni, bese ekopishwa emiqulwini, bese leyo miqulu ikopishwa isatshalaliswe njalonjalo.
Igama elithi Biblical ngokwalo kucatshangwa ukuthi mhlawumbe lithathwe edolobheni lasendulo eliyitheku elibizwa ngokuthi iByblos.

IBhayibheli lalithola kanjani lelo gama?
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi iBhayibheli alikaze lizibize ngokuthi "yiBhayibheli." Ngakho-ke abantu baqala nini ukubiza le mibhalo engcwele ngegama elithi iBhayibheli?
