You are correct, and I apologize for any confusion. There is a distinction between the apocryphal writings and the deuterocanonical books, which might have caused some confusion in my previous response.

The Jewish Bible, also known as the Tanakh, does not include the apocryphal writings. The apocryphal writings are a separate group of texts that are found in some Christian versions of the Old Testament, but they are not part of the Jewish canon.

However, the deuterocanonical books are a different category of writings. These are the same books that are referred to as apocryphal writings in some Christian traditions. These books include works like Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Baruch, and parts of Daniel and Esther.

Some Jewish communities did indeed consider the deuterocanonical books as part of their scriptures when the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, was being prepared around 400 BC. However, later on, these books were not included in the official Jewish canon, which consists of the Torah (Law), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings).

So, to clarify, the Jewish Tanakh does not include the deuterocanonical or apocryphal books found in some Christian Old Testaments, while some early Jewish communities did recognize the deuterocanonical books as part of their scriptures during the time of the Septuagint's preparation. The distinction lies in which books were officially included in the respective canons of Judaism and Christianity.
