<span>Caribbean Islands Table of ContentsEuropean settlements in the Caribbean began with Christopher Columbus. Carrying an elaborate feudal commission that made him perpetual governor of all lands discovered and gave him a percentage of all trade conducted, Columbus set sail in September 1492, determined to find a faster, shorter way to China and Japan. He planned to set up a trading-post empire, modeled after the successful Portuguese venture along the West African coast. His aim was to establish direct commercial relations with the producers of spices and other luxuries of the fabled East, thereby cutting out the Arab middlemen who had monopolized trade since capturing Constantinople in 1453. He also planned to link up with the lost Christians of Abyssinia, who were reputed to have great quantities of gold--a commodity in great demand in Europe. Finally, as a good Christian, Columbus wanted to spread Christianity to new peoples. Columbus, of course, did not find the East. Nevertheless, he called the peoples he met "Indians," and, because he had sailed west, referred to the region he found as the "West Indies."</span>

elixir [45]

the Hebrews included twenty-four books in the holy scriptures, which is fifteen less than the English old testament, but they both contain the exact same material and the  given statement is a true statement.

<h3>Who is Hebrew?</h3>

Hebrews or Hebrews is a common term used to refer to the Semitic-speaking Israelites, notably during the pre-monarchical period when they were still nomadic. The Hebrew Bible's 32 verses contain 34 references to the Shasu of Yhw, who lived at the end of the Bronze Age, but it may also be used more generally to refer to the Phoenicians or other ancient peoples. Sometimes it is considered to be an ethnonym, sometimes it is not..

<h3>What are the difference between Hebrews bible and Christians bible?</h3>

Both the number of books and the sequence in which they are presented differ between the Jewish and Christian Bibles. In the collections that Jews refer to as Tanakh and Christians refer to as the Old Testament, there is a distinct "canon," or a different enumeration of the biblical books.
