"The Bible" is a Christian invention. What existed was the Torah and other Hebrew texts, whose incorporation into Christian canon is based on retroactive continuity, and has never been recognized as valid within Judaism.

AFAIK Bible is from Greek and was used by Greek speaking Jews to refer to their sacred books.
