The term Hebrews is usually reserved for the community that went into slavery in Egypt. Coming out of Egypt during the Exodus, the most common term used in The Bible is the Children of Israel (Bene Yisrael in Hebrew), or Israelites. The term Jew seems to have emerged as a generic term during the Babylonian exile, applying (for example) to Mordechai, a Benjamanite. The Jews 2000 years ago spoke Aramaic, a Semitic language that was spoken from what is now Israel and Palestine all the way to what is now Iraq. Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic share many words in the same way French, Italian and Spanish share words.
