When did the Jews take the Hebrew religions and mak it their own?
The Jewish people did not really "borrow" religious ideas from Hebrews, rather, they are the Hebrews. In Genesis 15, God brings Abraham (father of the Hebrew/Jewish people) out of a place called Ur of the Chaldeans which is, essentially, Babylon. God changes Abraham's name from "Abram" and later Abraham forms a people from his descendants which are referred to as the "Jews" or "Hebrews." As the pentateuch (first five books of Hebrew scripture) explains, the God who revealed Himself to Abraham gave him the priniple tenets of the Hebrew/Jewish religion (Judaism). The reason that sometimes the word "Hebrew" is used and sometimes the word "Jew" is used is that the word "Hebrew comes from an ancient word in Aramaic which is "ebhrai". In the Jewish langauge it is "ibhri." This word is what English speakers now call "Isrealite." The word "Jew" is a modern form of the ancient name "Judah" which was the name of one of the tribes of Israel. So, in answer, the Jews didn't show up to "take away" the Hebrew religions, but they are the descendants of the ancient Hebrews. The only exception to this would be calling people who practice the Jewish religion "Jews" even though the aren't really descendants of the Jewish people.
