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.
The five books of Moses are known in Hebrew as "Torah" The entire Jewish Bible is called "Tanakh" which stands for Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), and K'tuvim (Writings).
The Torah, which is the title for the first 5 books of the Bible.
