Answer 1

The Hebrews didn't hold such a belief, unless you are talking about the concept of the Messiah, which is just a name for the next king of Israel.

Answer 2

Belief in a future redeemer (messiah) is one of the basic Jewish beliefs, as codified by Maimonides and recorded in our prayers. The redeemer will be the one who will:

* Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28)

* Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6)

* Usher in an era of world peace: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war any more." (Isaiah 2:4)

* Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one: God will be King over all the world -- on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9)

* The messiah must be descended on his father's side from King David (Genesis 49:10 and Isaiah 11:1)

* The messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah observance.

Note on Messiahs:

It is important to note that the Messiah in Judaism is not (yet) any historically identified person, so there is nothing more definite in Judaism to "point him out" than "he will come". This is as opposed to Christianity, Islam, and Baha'i which all claim that the Messiah has come and it is Jesus Christ.

It's not a scrapper it's the Scrapper. The man at the gear shop has a Lanayru Desert robot, he calls Scrapper.
