Jesus is never mentioned, either directly or indirectly in the Pentateuch, or first five books of The Bible.

However, in his nativity story, the author of Matthew sought to draw close parallels between Jesus and Moses. for example, he said that the father of Joseph was called Jacob, just as in the book of Genesis (in Luke's Gospel, the father of Joseph is called Heli). Herod's Slaughter of the Innocents, in which he ordered all the boys under two years old to be killed for fear of Jesus, parallels the Old Testament story of the Pharaoh's order that all boys under two years old to be killed for fear of the Israelites. Just as Moses left Egypt to save his people, the baby Jesus left Egypt to save his people. Matthew's narrativehas been described as "Christian midrash" but, for those whose faith requires this, it does provide a reference to Jesus in the first five books of the Bible.

Traditional Bible books that you would find in your local church or hotel room's nightstand will almost never have any imagery of Jesus or anything else. There are children's Bible books that depict Jesus, such as "The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name" by authors Sally Lloyd-Jones and Jago. It contains several iconic images and is a good visual presentation as to what Jesus may look like. Another book is "The Life of Jesus Christ and Biblical Revelations." It's a 4 volume set and each book contains images of Jesus on the cover.
