Israel's early history
Israel's early historyThe Hebrew Bible is the primary source for much of what is known about Israel's early history. According to the scripture, Israel's ancestry may be found in Abraham, who is regarded as the father of both Judaism and Islam (through his sons Ishmael and Isaac).
Abraham's offspring were supposedly held as slaves by the Egyptians for hundreds of years until migrating to Canaan, which is roughly the area of present-day Israel.
The Hebrew God in the Bible gave Jacob, Abraham's grandson, the new name "Israel," which is where the word "Israel" originates.
