Hebrews

Moses's people, collectively

Hebrews refers to the ancient Israelite people, particularly in biblical contexts describing the period before the establishment of Israel as a kingdom.

The term appears throughout the Old Testament and distinguishes the descendants of Abraham from surrounding peoples.

In the New Testament, Hebrews is a book—an epistle addressing Jewish Christians about the superiority of Christ over Old Testament figures and practices.

The Hebrews wandered in the desert for forty years.
