The world's oldest Hebrew Bible is expected to get between $30 - $50 million at auction. The 'Codex Sassoon' dates back to the late ninth and early tenth centuries. It is believed to be the earliest and most complete Hebrew Bible. The book is made up of 792 parchment pages made from animal skins. Sotheby's is auctioning off the Bible in New York this May following an exhibition tour through Israel and the United States.
