In Genesis 11: 31 it stats " and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans". According to Theologians Ur was a city in the east of Babylon, so Abraham came from Babylon, which is modern days Iraq. God told Abraham to go to Canaan ( Genesis 12: 1), which is modern day Palestine.

Abraham's grandson, Jacob, wrestled with God and Jacob's name was changed to Israel, which means "He who struggles with God". God told Jacob in Genesis 46: 3 that he would make Jacob a great nation. Jacob eventually became the founder of the Israelites because God said he would become a great nation.

So Abraham was a Babylonian and through him came Jacob, who founded the Israelites and that means that the Israelites have the same blood line as the Babylonians through Abraham.
