What is the story of the very first Jews?

Generally, Jews trace themselves back to Abraham, through his son Isaac and his grandson Jacob, also known as Israel. Israel's sons, the children of Israel or Israelites went into Egypt where their status gradually fell. The book of Genesis in the Bible tells this story. Then, in the book of Exodus, the Israelites left Egypt and wandered in the desert for 40 years. The books of Exodus through Deuteronomy tell of these wanderings, and these books make it clear that, while Abraham may have introduced the idea of monotheism, major changes in the ritual structure of Judaism occurred in the desert. Only later were the Jews called Jews, after the breakup of the kingdom of David and Solomon, after the destruction of the northern kingdom of Israel, and after Babylon exiled the leadership and some portion of the southern kingdom of Judah. The word for Judaites came to refer to all survivors of that disaster, and that word cam into English as Jews.
