Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 1445: Ἑβραῖος (Hebraios) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to Hebrews or Jews, maintaining the ethnic and cultural identity seen in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in passages such as Philippians 3:5, where Paul refers to himself as a "Hebrew of Hebrews," emphasizing his Jewish heritage and adherence to the traditions of his ancestors.

Usage: The term עִבְרִי (Ibri) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to individuals who are part of the Hebrew ethnic group. It is often used to describe the descendants of Eber, an ancestor of Abraham, and is associated with the Israelites.

Context: The term עִבְרִי (Ibri) appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Bible, where it is used to identify individuals as Hebrews. This designation is significant in the context of the ancient Near East, where ethnic and tribal identities were crucial. The term is first used in Genesis 14:13, where Abram is referred to as "Abram the Hebrew." This highlights Abram's identity and lineage, linking him to Eber, a descendant of Shem. The term is also used in the narrative of Joseph in Egypt, where Joseph is identified as a Hebrew (Genesis 39:14, 17). In Exodus, the term is used to describe the people of Israel in their interactions with the Egyptians (Exodus 1:15-16, 2:6-7). The use of "Hebrew" emphasizes the distinct identity of the Israelites as a people set apart by God, with a unique covenant relationship. The term underscores their historical and spiritual heritage, tracing back to the patriarchs and their journey of faith.
