 Martin Luther published his initial Old Testament translation in 4 parts. Although this first portion was entitled “The Old Testa-ment German,” it contained only the first five books of the Bible.

Luther: “I have made a great effort to make Moses so German that no one would guess that he was a Jew.”
In the Preface Luther wrote: “It is the principal teaching of the Old Testament to proclaim the law, to reveal sin, and to further the good….For Moses can do no more by the law than tell what man ought to do and ought not to do. But he cannot give the power, the strength, and the ability to fulfill it.” Large portions of this Preface are contained in Willem Jan Kooiman, Luther and the Bible [Philadelphia: Muhlenberg Press, 1961], p. 135-144.  (https://gruber.lstc.edu/luthers_bible/1523_1533.php)
