| | The Hebrews between Assyria and Egypt |
| | Despite the contempt felt for Hebrews by Egyptians, the recognition of the infant as a Hebrew and the elitism and exclusiveness of the royal family, the pharaoh allowed his daughter to rear the Hebrew child as her own, and she spoke the language of the Hebrews. | | | Like other peoples, the Hebrews saw their god of the sky as concerned with them rather than as a god for all peoples. | | | Some Hebrews lived in tight communities led by priests or military chieftains, and others lived in Canaanite towns, including an Amorite town that was to be known as Jerusalem. |

| | Jewish - Religion or People? |
| | The name, "Jew", comes from Judah (as in the Hebrew tribe) and later Judah/Judaea (as in the land as it was known in the times of the southern kingdom and the Greeks and Romans). | | | So, Ruth the Moabitess became a convert when she told Naomi in the Hebrew Bible, "Whither thou goist I shall go, your PEOPLE shall be my people, your G_d, my G_d." Note, please, that even here, in the religious writings of the Jews, peoplehood is mentioned before religion... | | | While it's true that one may join one's destiny to the peoplehood of Israel via religious conversion to the faith of that people, faith itself-- while a very important part of the picture-- is still but one part of the picture. |
