In this chapter we will learn about the Hebrews and Chaldeans (Neo-Babylonians), two groups of people whose histories became intertwined.
The Ancient Hebrews (2,000s – 586 BCE)
The Hebrews are named after their language called Hebrew, Hebrew is a Semitic language. The ancient Hebrews were nomadic people who moved throughout the Fertile Crescent, finally settling in a place called Canaan. The Hebrews are a resilient people; while the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian cultures have ended, the Hebrew culture continues to this day, and has had a lasting impact on our world; this despite the Hebrews being scattered, enslaved, and persecuted throughout their history. Today their religion is known as Judaism.
A belief in one god (monotheism) forbid the Hebrews from worshipping any other gods. Abraham marks the beginning of Hebrew history. Abraham lived in Ur, where his father was a seller of idols. Abraham rejected his father's gods and goddesses, he believed in only one god. Abraham and his wife Sarah left Ur. According to Abraham, his god promised him and his followers a land they could call their own. Abraham eventually settled in a land called Canaan.
