Best Answer

The original Hebrew text of the Torah has 79,847 words.

The KJV translation has 157,737 words.

Keep in mind that many common words in English (such as "and" "the" "in") are only prefixes in Hebrew, and do not count as separate words.

Also keep in mind that Hebrew does not have the following common words at all: "a" "an" "is" "are" "am"

What is the Hebrew name for the first five books of the gosple?

This question has two possible answers. The reason is that the first five Hebrew books of the Bible are not refered to as the "gospel." Only the part of the Bible that gives the accounts of the minstry of Jesus is called the gospels. The first five books of the Bible was called the Pentateuch. That refers to the first five books of the "Old Testiment," or "Hebrew Scriptures" that were written by Moses in the Hebrew language. The part of the Bible that is normally referred to as the gospels, that is, the minstry of Jesus, are the first four books of the "New Testiment," or "Greek Scriptures." This is the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
