How We Got the Old Testament, part 2

How did we get the Old Testament canon? part 2

How did the Israelites decide which books were divinely inspired Scripture, which were inspiring, and which were merely interesting? How can we tell today which books the Jews of Jesus' day considered "canonical"?

There's a lot more on this topic that I would like to have said, but I'm sure I'll cover it later in some form.
