brief introduction

Hebrews belong to a branch of ancient northern Semite and are the ancestors of modern Jews. Historians use the word "Hebrew" to refer to the descendants of the patriarchs in the Old Testament, such as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Its time began when the chiefs lived, until the conquest of Canaan (present-day Palestine and its surrounding areas) at the end of14th century BC. From then on, these people were called Israelites until the end of 6th century BC, when they returned to Canaan in exile from Babylon. Since then, this nation has been called Jews.
