The Bible considers the Hebrew people as the descendants of Jacob (later renamed Israel), who in turn was a descendant of Abraham, coming from a group under his command from Ur of the Chaldeans, a city located in the fertile valley of Mesopotamia.

The biblical story relates that the patriarch Abraham emigrated from Mesopotamia to Canaan and settled there along with his grandson Jacob, whose children emigrated to Egypt and after a few generations were taken as slaves by the Egyptians. It was there that they were called Hebrews and under the leadership of Moses and Joshua they managed to return to Canaan where the Jewish people developed, which was the first monotheistic town in history.

Non-biblical historians consider that the Hebrew people were made up of descendants of different ethnic groups that inhabited Canaan, without appealing to the biblical story.

Historians and linguists find that the main beliefs of Judaism are imported from older religions such as Zoroastrianism from Persia or the monotheism of Akhenaten, Egyptian pharaoh.

There is great controversy in the origin of the Hebrew people, and its monotheism but the affirmations A and D coincide with the common denominator of the general vision about this people by the international community.
