"Hebrews" (Ivrim) actually means descendants of Eber (Ever). Ever was an ancestor of Abraham (Genesis ch.10-11) and the earliest Hebrews were Abraham's uncles and cousins for several generations back. They were idolaters, as is evident from Genesis 31:30, 31:53, and Joshua 24:2.

It is only the Israelites (whom you probably intended in your Question), who were monotheistic. They practiced what is today called Judaism; the Torah and its commands.
