The Hebrews were farmers.The Phoenicians had multiple gods as did the other civilisations at the time.The Hebrews also had multiple gods but moved on from Solomon's 'many gods in his house' to the 7th Century Judean move towards monotheism by centralising religion in the temple at Jerusalem to overcome the other gods.Both were absorbed into the empires which arose from - Israel into the Assyrian Empire in the 8th Century BCE, Judea into the Babylonian Empire 6th Century BCE, both into the Persian Empire 6th Century BCE.The Phoenicians had retained their trading and sea power and were a major part of the Persian navy.The Hebrews remained agricultural and were such a source of trouble that the aristocracies of both Israel and Judea were deported to Assyria and Babylon respectively, and replaced by foreign ones to keep them quiet.

However, with the growth of the Hebrews, the pharaoh of Egypt, was worried the Hebrews soon might take over, and to stop that from happening, he made the Hebrews slaves. A man named Moses appeared among the Hebrews in Egypt. God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. Moses then went to the pharaoh and demanded that the Hebrews should be free. The pharaoh refused. Soon afterward a series of plagues (disasters) struck Egypt and the pharaoh then agreed to let the Hebrews free.Christian answer:They both spread the word about God and Jesus.Jewish answer:Abraham founded Judaism.Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt and received the Torah from God.
Which two ancient peoples wrote in consonantal scripts?
The two ancient peoples known for writing in consonantal scripts are the Phoenicians and the ancient Hebrews. The Phoenicians developed one of the earliest alphabets, consisting primarily of consonants, which greatly influenced later writing systems. Similarly, the Hebrew script, used for writing the Hebrew language, also primarily represents consonants, with vowel sounds often inferred from context. Both scripts played significant roles in the development of alphabetic writing in the ancient world.
