Ancient Hebrews are important historical figures in the Bible, a term that refers to the ancestors of the Jews who are written about in the Bible. They lived in what is now Israel and surrounding areas from around 2,000 BCE to 1,000 CE, and the passages in the Bible describe their history, culture, and religious beliefs.

The Bible is roughly divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains the history and laws of the Jews, the prophets, and the Psalms, especially the first five books called the Books of Moses (the Law), which have had an important influence on Jewish religion and law.

The ancient Hebrews escaped from slavery in Egypt around the 13th century B.C. and founded the kingdoms of Israel and Judah between the 12th and 6th centuries B.C. They initially lived in the province of Israel and the surrounding region of Mizpah, and later established the kingdom of Judah, centered in Hebron and Jerusalem.

The religious beliefs of the ancient Hebrews were known as Monotheism, which is the worship of only one god, usually a deity like Yahuwah. This belief was a very important turning point in the history of world religions, and had a major impact on Judaism and the religions that followed.
