The four first books in The Bible are Genesis , Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers.

The "collective name" for the first four books is the Tetrateuch, which means "four books" in Greek. This was a term used by Martin Noth, who proposed the hypothesis that Deuteronomy belonged with the books that followed (Joshua through 2 Kings, not including Ruth) rather than with the four preceding books (Genesis through Numbers).
