The Church wanted the ordinary people to rely on the clergy for their knowledge of The Bible. This not only meant that the Church could prevent the people from raising questions about the accuracy or authenticity of the Bible, it also meant that people felt dependent on the clergy.

Where is the first made Bible?

I think that the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C. has one of the early ones that were printed.

Later, they were translated into different languages and began to be printed once the printing press was invented.
