The first book of the Hebrew Bible to be written down much as we see it today is believed to be the Book of Deuteronomy, written in Jerusalem during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah. As Israel had already been destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE, the Israelites never had the benefit of reading Deuteronomy or, of course, any of the other books in the modern Hebrew Bible. They did have early religious texts, including an important scroll that eventually formed part of the Book of Genesis.

Some small parts of the Old Testament were written in Israel, which ceased to exist following its conquest by the Assyrians in 722 BCE. By far the greater part was written in Judah and in Babylonia during the Babylonian Exile.
The entire New Testament was written in the Greek language and the available evidence is that it was written in various parts of the Near East and Greece, but not in Judea or Galilee.

What book of the Bible was Israel written in?
Your question does not make sense. Are you asking which books of the Bible are written about Israel? The word or rather name of Israel started back in the book of Genesis when a man was renamed Israel by God himself. Eventually when the Hebrew people came to live near the Jordan river the country came to be known as Israel.

Which country was the Bible written in?
Most of the Bible was written in what is now Israel. The Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, was written over a period of at least several hundred years, in various kingdoms, and possibly places not controlled by kings. The earliest references to a written Bible come from what was called the United Monarchy of Israel. The Bible itself records the division of that kingdom, the destruction of the kingdoms that followed it, and the activities of Jewish people under various other governments, both in what is now Israel, and Mesopotamia. The include the empires of the Babylonians, Persians, and Seleucid Greeks. Also, there were a number of local kingdoms. The New Testament was written at least partly written in Israel while it was controlled by the Roman Empire, but some parts were written elsewhere. The Epistles were letters written to various people or groups of people in various parts of the empire, and many of them could have been written in various parts of the empire while the leaders of the early church were travelling.
