The Bible is split into two halves, the Old Testament and the New Testament.

The first chapter in the Old testament is called Genesis.

Beyond that, the first five books of the Old Testament are called by many names(The Pentateuch, The Torah, The Books of Moses) followed by the Nebi'im (stories of the prophets and their call to God), and finally the Kethubi'im (the writings such as the book of Psalms).

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.
