When did the Hebrews exist?

Answer 1

Abraham lived sometime after 2000-1800 BCE. He is called the father of the Hebrews. The Jews, however, not always synonymous with the Hebrews as the religion of Judaism actually came later. It evolved over the period of ca. 1200-500 BCE.

The Assyrians conquered them in 722 BCE, the Babylonians in 586 BCE, the Persians in 538 BCE, Alexander thet Great and the Greeks in 332 BCE, and the Romans in 63 BCE. The ancient Hebrews were always around though during these conquests, and are still here to this day.
