Hebrews is an "unsigned" letter; its human authorship uncertain. Scholars have suggested Paul, Barnabas or Apollos as most likely to have penned the epistle. As with all The Bible, its true "author" was the Holy Spirit.
The second century Church Fathers attributed the Epistle to the Hebrews to the Apostle Paul, although he clearly was not the real author. Apart from some late interpolations that give Hebrews the appearance of having been written by Paul, there is nothing in the book to suggest that he was the author, with the the style and theology differing very much from Paul's.
The Christology of Hebrews is quite primitive, suggesting that it was one of the earliest books in Christianity, thus limiting the potential authors. However the author remains anonymous.
It is widely assumed that the Book of Hebrews was written to Christian Jews of the diaspora, perhaps in Egypt.
It is an anonymous letter.
Here is a simple way to remember: All Jews are Hebrews but not all Hebrews are Jews. Hebrews consisted of 12 'tribes' of which Judah was the 4th.
The Hebrews were enslaved by the Egyptians. The Egyptian people didn't necessarily enslaved the Hebrews, The Hyksos took over Egypt and then they feared that the Hebrews were to powerful so they enslaved them.

A:We do not actually know who wrote Hebrews, although it clearly was written very early in Christian history. The conclusion to the book was added in order to suggest that Paul was the author, but scholars say this clearly was not the case. Hebrews does read rather like a sermon, and that might have been its purpose, so it is possible that its author was a preacher.
Paul is known to be the author of 13 books of the Bible, and probably was of Hebrews as well.
