Biblical tradition says that Abraham, the Patriarch of the Hebrew people, came from the city of Ur in Mesopotamia, in the south of modern Iraq. Their language, culture and ethnic makeup would have been very different from those of the Palestinian Canaanites, a West Semitic people. Abraham and his descendants travelled through Palestine to Egypt, where they spent 400 years, before returning and conquering the Canaanites.
Scholars say differently. They say that the Hebrews were a West Semitic people and that they spoke a very similar language to that of the Canaanites, with none of the Egyptian influence you would expect after 400 years in Egypt. They say that there never was a military conquest of the Canaan hinterland. The reason for their migration is lost to history, but the Hebrews were part of the Canaanite people and they came from the coastal cities and plains of Palestine to settle in the hinterland.
Another answer
The Torah explicitly records (Genesis ch.10) that the Canaanites were Hamitic, while the Hebrews (from Eber) were Semitic (from Shem).
To answer the question, Jewish tradition states that the Hebrews had always (since Arpachshad) lived in the region of the confluence of the Balikh and the Euphrates, in northern Mesopotamia. It was only shortly before Abraham's birth, that Terah took his young family south to Ur. The remainder of the Hebrews, Terah's cousins, remained in the northern family seat, as we see when Bethuel, and later Laban, are visited in Nahor and in Haran.
Judaism
The Hebrews settled in the region of Canaan, which is modern-day Israel and Palestine. This region is significant in the history and religious texts of Judaism.
The Hebrews were the ancestors of the Israelites (now usually called Jews). The Hebrews were descendants of Eber (see Genesis ch.10-11). One of the Hebrews, Abraham, is credited with having founded what we call Judaism.
Israel.
Abraham founded the idea of one God above all others; he didn't found the Hebrews. The Hebrews had been around for many thousands of years prior to Abraham.
