It Started With Abraham
The Hebrew Bible traces the Hebrews back to a man named Abraham. One day, the Hebrew Bible says, God told Abraham to leave his home in Mesopotamia. He was to take his family on a long journey to the west. God promised to lead Abraham to a new land and make his descendants into a mighty nation.
