13And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. This is the first reference to Abraham as a Hebrew. There has been much discussion on this topic and much that remains unanswered. What we do have in Genesis 11:10-32 is the genealogy of Abraham and his family which indicates that they were originally in Ur of the Chaldees. The reference to Abraham as a Hebrew has been suggested as a means of distinguishing him from other tribes in the area. Although the verse above is the first mention in The Bible, it does not specifically state when this term was first used or applied.
