Abraham (called a 'Hebrew'-Genesis 14:13)was the patriarch of the Israelites, and the one through whom God provided the original covenant.(Genesis 17:5-6)
Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac fathered Jacob. Jacob(who's name was changed to 'Israel' by God) became the father of twelve sons who eventually became the paternal heads of the twelve tribes of Israel, or " the Israelites".
Eventually the terms Hebrew and Israelite came to mean the same thing (1Samuel 13:3-7; 14:11; 29:3)

The authorship of the Book of Hebrews is unknown, so there is no definitive answer to who the "Father of Hebrews" is. Some scholars believe it was written by Paul, while others suggest Apollos or Barnabas. The book is valued for its theological insights and exhortations to remain steadfast in faith.
Abraham is in Genesis chapters 12 to 23, and ch.25.
A:Once we go outside the biblical story of Abraham as the father of the Hebrews, we must look at the historical record as reconstructed by archaeologists and scholars. Then we find that the Hebrews were actually Canaanites who moved from the rich coastal cities along the coast and foothills, to settle peacefully in the sparsely populated mountainous hinterland. The records show they continued to use a dialect of the Canaanite language until late in the tenth century.
Abraham founded the idea of one God above all others; he didn't found the Hebrews. The Hebrews had been around for many thousands of years prior to Abraham.
