When the Hebrew bible was first translated into Greek, Hebrew was still a spoken language and there is know way to know how many words existed at that time. The Hebrew Bible has about 8000 Hebrew words in it, but the spoken language at that time would have had many more than that. Most spoken languages have between 40,000 and 140,000 words, depending on how you decide what a word is.
