The first five books of the Jewish bible are Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers and Dueteronomy.________
Please note that the term 'Old Testament' is offensive to Jews as we do not believe in the 'New Testament'. The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach and the five books of Moshe are called the Torah.

∙ 15y agoI assume that "in Jewish" you mean in Hebrew. Hebrew is our language of prayer and also the spoken language of Jews in Israel. It is also the written language of our Torah. The first five books of our Holy Scriptures (we don't refer to them as the Old Testament, because we do not believe in a New Testament. To us they are the Holy Scriptures.) I cannot type the Hebrew letters here, but in transliteration, or in English characters they are called Bereshit, Shemot, Vayikra, Bimidbar, and Devarim. The titles for the books are derived from a Hebrew word in the first verse of the specific book. For example, Genesis or Bereshit begins "Bereshit bara..."

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.
When were Christian scriptures first written?
In this context, Christian scriptures means the New Testament books, rather than the books of the Old Testament. Most biblical scholars accept that the Gospel According to St Mark was the first written of the four canonical Gospels, and that it was written around 70 CE. Some other Christian scriptures were probably written prior to the gospels, most notably Paul's epistles. Paul is believed to have written the epistles in the 50s CE, but they may have been somewhat earlier. The Epistle to the Hebrews was probably also written well before 70 CE. The earliest layers of some other New Testament books may have been written long before the time of Paul's epistles.

AnswerNo. The first five books of the Bible are called the Pentateuch.The Septuagint ('LXX') was an early Greek translation of all the Hebrew scriptures. It certainly began with the translation of the Pentateuch, as these were regarded as the five most important scriptures, but the project continued until all the scriptures were available to the Jews of the diaspora, who could not read the scriptures in Hebrew.
