Other Books Mentioned in the Bible


The Bible itself is a collection of 66 inspired books, but within the 66 books several more books are mentioned. Which begs the question, is the Bible incomplete? 

The Book of the Covenant
Exodus 24:7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, “We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey.” 
Note: It is believed the Book of the Covenant is found in Exodus chapters 20 though 23. This could just be the 10 commandments.

Book of the Wars of the Lord

Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
