Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1445 (Ἑβραῖος, Hebraios) - Used in the New Testament to refer to Hebrews or Jews, emphasizing their ethnic and religious identity. Usage: The term "Ibri" is used to denote a person of Hebrew descent, often referring to the descendants of Eber, an ancestor of Abraham. It is used to identify the ethnic and cultural identity of the Israelites, distinguishing them from other groups in the ancient Near East. Cultural and Historical Background: The term "Hebrew" is one of the earliest identifiers for the people who would later be known as Israelites. It is believed to be linked to Eber, a descendant of Shem, and is used to describe the nomadic lifestyle and distinct cultural practices of Abraham and his descendants. The Hebrews were known for their monotheistic faith, which set them apart from the polytheistic cultures surrounding them. The term also reflects their experiences as sojourners and their eventual settlement in the Promised Land.
