In Ur, Abraham first repudiated idolatry. He then sojourned in Harran (Syria) for several years, and then lived most of his life in Canaan (Israel). It was in Canaan that Abraham lived most of his life, made a covenant with God (Genesis ch.15), and raised a family to be the center of carrying on his traditions (Genesis 18:19).
Abraham's chosen son was Isaac (Genesis ch.21). Isaac's son Jacob was blessed by God, who renamed him, calling him Israel (Genesis ch.35), which is why Jews are also called Israelites.
Abraham's family carried on his teachings voluntarily. Judaism as a binding, permanent entity, was set forth between God and the Israelite nation descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob at Mount Sinai in the time of Moses (Exodus ch.19, ch.24, and 34:27).
Historians have pieced together events from the Israelites' past by comparing archaeological evidence with biblical texts. This process has helped to shed light on significant events such as the Israelite exodus from Egypt and the establishment of the kingdom of Israel. By examining artifacts, inscriptions, and structures, historians can gain a better understanding of the Israelites' historical experiences.
Israel was declared a state immediately after the Civil War in Mandatory Palestine of 1947-1948. However, in the wider world, Israel's establishment required the events of World War II and the Holocaust to make clear the need for Israel and allow for its establishment with UNGA Resolution 181 (II).
The Book of Amos is signed as by a prophet Amos in the reign of the Judahite king Uzziah, shortly before the destruction of Israel, and says that he was born in the southern country of Judah and moved to the northern kingdom of Israel. However, Amos 5:2, "The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up," demonstrates awareness of the later events of 722 BCE, and not just a prophecy - the destruction has occurred.At face value, Amos went to Israel to exhort the people to follow the Lord, but does not suggest that this will save the Israelites from the fate to come. At least in the time of the divided kingdoms, the Bible has all the prophets coming from the southern kingdom, Judah, so Amos is no exception.If we accept a later date for the Book of Amos, as verse 5:2 suggests, and some scholars believe, then the exhortation is not really to the Israelites, who had ceased to exist as a nation and were scattered abroad, but to the Judahites. It was really a warning to the people of Judah to avoid the fate of the Israelites, by having faith in God.

There is no evidence at all of the israelites ever being in Egypt. The Egyptians kept detailed records of their everyday lives, but never mentioned the Israelites. There is no archaeological evidence of large-scale Hebrew presence in Egypt, nor of the 40 year sojourn in the desert, nor of the conquest of Canaan. The respected Israeli archaeologist Israel Finkelstein says that over ninety per cent of scholars believe that the slavery and Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt did not really happend as described in the Bible. The Israelites were not enslaved in Egypt, politically, physically or spiritually. The story of Moses and the Exodus arose centuries after the time the events supposedly occurred.
