Yis·ra·’EL appears 2,512 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. In Israel’s early history, a member of the nation was referred to as a “Hebrew”—Abraham is called a “Hebrew” in Gen. 14:13, and Jonah identifies himself as a “Hebrew” in Jonah 1:9. In Gen. 40:15 Joseph tells Pharaoh’s chief Cupbearer, “I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews.”
