The earliest known inscription in Hebrew is the Khirbet Qeiyafa Inscription, from about the 11th century BCE.
The oldest complete Hebrew document is the book of Genesis, called Bereshit (בראשית) in Hebrew. It's exact date is unknown. Jewish tradition places it at about 1280 BCE, whereas modern scholarship indicates it may have been an oral tradition until the time of King David, 1000 BCE.
