False. If you're referring to the Hebrews, that's Judaism. The OT was translated from the Torah. Judaism borrowed its own mythology from the mythology of the Ancient Semitic religions, including that of the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians (from which the flood myth came, among others), as well as from other sources.
