Best Answer

1) From the time of Moses, they read the Torah (Talmud, Bava Kama 82a).

2) Even before Moses, they had Israelite parchments on which their traditions were recorded (midrash Shemot Rabbah 5:18) which they studied regularly (ibid). These included the entire book of Genesis (ibid. 5:22), which had been prophetically written by the Forefathers themselves. They may have also had such ancient texts as the Book of Yashar (see Joshua 10:13), the Book of the Generations of Man (Genesis ch.5), the Book of the Wars of the Lord (see Numbers 21:14) and others.
