If I remember correctly, the Bible was originally written something like this:

I might be thinking of another ancient language, but I believe that's the structure used, bottom to top, following the sentence across the page. Ofcourse, the original old testiment could have been written in several different languages.
Right to Left is obvious, since Hebrew is written RTL.
I'm not sure about bottom to top though.

Also, AFAIK most of the bible was written in (ancient) hebrew, and a smaller portion of it an Aramian (or however you spell that in English :X)
