Hebrewball represents the Hebrew people before the formation of Israel. WIP

History
The history of the Hebrew people before the formation of Israel is relatively unknown. Scholars have made connections between the Biblical Hebrews, and the Habiru of the Armana Letters. However, the Biblical Hebrews are very different as the Habiru were a disambiguated social group, rather than an ethnic one. Other connections though have been made between the Hebrews and other groups in Palestine such as the Shasu. Along with this, scholars have made other connections through textual data that the Hebrews, were pastoral nomads, and had a connection to Mesopotamia and the Midianites. This has led many scholars to accept the "mixed-multitude theory", which was a theory that states a combination of Canaanites and other groups in Palestine (such as the Hebrews) formed early Israel.

Beliefs
It is very hard to pinpoint the religious beliefs of the Hebrews, however, according to the Book of Genesis they were monotheistic, believing in one God. However, it was very likely they were polytheistic given that was the culture during the time, and there are multiple indicators in the Bible that many Hebrews were polytheistic (see Genesis 31:33-35).

God
The God of Hebrews, is also known as the God of Israel in later Judaism and Christianity. In the Hebrew he is called El, El Elyon, and El Shaddai (he is not called Yahweh until the Exodus). The Hebrew Patriarchs had a very personal relationship with God, having direct personal conversations, and even wrestling with God (or at least a angel). The narratives of the Patriarchs and God in Genesis, laid the foundations of virtually all Abrahamic religions.

Personality
Might do something interesting and has family issues. They may or may not kill a entire town or sell their brothers into slavery or steal their brothers' birth right.
