Hebrews Article
STEPBible TIPNR
The Hebrews were an ethnic group descended from Abraham, also known as Israelites or Jews. The term "Hebrew" first appears in the Bible in reference to Abraham (Gen 14:13) and is later used to refer to his descendants, the Israelites, throughout the Old Testament. The Hebrews were distinct from the Egyptians (Gen 43:32; Exo.1.15,16,19) and other nations, and they were often oppressed or enslaved (Exo 1:11-14; 5.3). God identified Himself as the God of the Hebrews (Exo 3:18; 5.3; 7.16; 9.1,13; 10.3) and gave them laws and commandments to follow (Exo 21:2; Deu 15:12). The Hebrews were also known for their language, Hebrew (Luk 23:38; Act 6:1), and their religious practices. In the New Testament, the term "Hebrew" is used to refer to Jewish Christians who spoke Hebrew or Aramaic (Act 6:1) and to emphasize the Jewish heritage of some early Christians (2Co 11:22; Php 3:5).
