(1) The People God's Chosen People.
The earliest reference to the Hebrews as a people is in Genesis
14:13, where Abram is described as 'Abram the Hebrew'. This
may be because he was descended from a man named 'Heber' (Genesis
11:14), or because 'Hebrew' comes from a root word 'to pass
over', referring to the fact that Abram was the father of
those who had passed over the River Euphrates to live in the
land of Canaan.
There are also references to a people known as the 'Habiru'
(or 'Apiru') in Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) records, and
to the 'Apri' (or 'Epri') in Egyptian records, which may refer
to the Hebrews.
