The oldest written record we have are the Septuagint, a Greek language edition of your precious fucking bible and date from the early 3d century BC. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which date from the late 2d century BC at the earliest are the first examples of your pious bullshit being written in Hebrew, although some are in Aramaic and others are also in Greek. The DSS are important precisely because they are the earliest Hebrew biblical texts.
was it? you obviously don't know much about the bible. the Jewish religion is estimated to have been founded around 2000 BC. it's older than the jewish nation itself. i didn't think i needed to source this because it's commonly known that the old testament books are ancient hebrew texts that are the foundation of the jewish religion and the heart of their nation. the torah (first 5 books of the old testament) were written around 1500 bc. they are jewish texts for the jewish religion written in hebrew for the jews.

and i'm sure you haven't read the bible all the way through. the fact that i don't know the language doesn't matter because i got the information from a valid source. i put the source down so you could see but apparently you don't know well enough to look at my source so you attack my words with nothing while my words are backed up by evidence. doesn't sound like a winning battle for you. you can point imaginary guns at me all you want but when i have real ones you don't have anything on me. i have real evidence and you have nothing. i've listed the evidence for you to see and judge for yourself. judge my evidence rather than myself because the evidence is what makes the point valid, not myself.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
