Hebrews - of Israel, Palestine, Assyria, and the Levant - The
Hebrews are a semitic speaking people with origins on the Arabian
Peninsula. The Hebrews have origins as far back as 1600
BCE, and are still prominent in the modern day world. The Hebrew's
biblical texts including the Torah and the Talmud served as a basis
for the development of Christianity. The Hebrews were primarily a
sheep herding people, who started out polytheistic, but converted to
monotheism around 1000 BCE.
