    Notes 
    • Personal name meaning, One from beyond. A People descended from Abraham, the father of Many nations, the line goes down through Isaac and Jacob. The first time the term 'Hebrew' is used is, (Gen 39:13-14) when Joseph was in Egypt and falsely accused by Potipher's wife.

      A descendant of Eber. It differentiates early Israelites from foreigners. After David founded the monarchy the term Hebrew seems to disappear from the Hebrew language. The designation apparently begins with Abraham (Gen 14:13), showing that he belonged to an ethnic group distinct from the Amorites. It distinguished Joseph from the Egyptians and slaves of other ethnic identity (Gen 39:14, 17; 41:12; 43:32). Abraham’s land has become the land of the Hebrews (Gen 40:15), and his God, the God of the Hebrews (Ex 5:3). Given the ethnic identity, special laws protected Hebrew slaves (Ex 21:2; Deut 15:12; Lev 25:40-41; Jer 34:8-22). After the death of Saul (1 Sam 29), the term 'Hebrew' does not appear in the historical books, pointing possibly to a distinction between Hebrew as an ethnic term and Israel and/or Judah as a religious and political term for the people of the covenant and of God’s nation.
