What book of the bible was written first?

Answer 1

We will never know the first book ever written because in olden times, people wrote in different and unknown languages. The books also can not have lasted over millions of years. We will never know, yet we do have more recent books from about 100 years or so.

There is no doubt that the first use of the pencil - from cane papyrus - and write on panels made from sugar cane pulp, too, are the Sumerians in Iraq ( which was called ..MESOPOTAMIA..)before 7000 years ( 5000 B.C.) .

Answer 2

If woodblock printing, which requires laboriously hand carving a wood block for every page of the book, is considered a contender, then the Diamond Sutra is the oldest surviving example of a printed book. A copy in the British Library dates to 868 CE. There's a catch, however: other block printed books are probably older, but are undated, making the Diamond Sutrathe first printed book with a verifiable date, not the oldest printed book and most certainly not the first.

Answer 3

The first five books (often referred to as the Torah) were the product of Moses. There have been found written scripture from those first five books which precede in dating, of the captivity of Judah/Benjamin to Babylon (70 years of captivity).

Its a common mistake to refer to all Israel as Jews, however that is not factually the case. The tribes were split after the reign of Solomon into Samara (10 Northern) and Judah/Benjamin who resided in what is called Judea. It was a common mistake of the Romans to refer to all those residing in Judea as Jews. This Roman identification becomes reflected in the English translation of the texts.
