This is a complex question. The traditional answer is no. Abraham, a Hebrew, came from "beyond the river" into Canaan. Several generations later, the Hebrews went to Egypt and were slaves 400 years. When they returned to the land of Canaan, they conquered the Canaanites and re-took the land.
However, modern scholarship is starting to support the theory that the Hebrews never conquered the Canaanites, but in fact, they WERE the Canaanites. One of the supporting pieces of information is the fact that Canaanite and Hebrew are dialects of the same language.
No. The earliest Hebrews (Ivrim) were the descendants of Eber (Ever). Ever was an ancestor of Abraham (Genesis ch.10-11) and the first Hebrews were Abraham's uncles and cousins for several generations back. They were among the Western Semites and lived in northern Mesopotamia, near the confluence of the Balikh and the Euphrates.Abraham himself was called a Hebrew (Genesis ch.14) because of his wider family.
Ancient Mesopotamian towns were named after the ancestors (Genesis ch.11) of Abraham:
The "city of Nahor" was found near the city of Haran which still exists to this day. Equally clear signs of Hebrew residence appear in the names of other towns nearby: Serug (Assyrian SARUGI), Terah (TIL TURAKHI, "Mound of Terah"), and Peleg (PALIGA, on the Euphrates near the mouth of the Habur).
