Ἑβραίων
Hebraîos
Hebrews
An Israelite referred to as belonging to the 'Hebrews,' denoting either ancestral connection to the patriarch Eber (Έβερ), or, more commonly in Hellenistic and New Testament contexts, as a member of the ancestral group distinct from Hellenistic Israelites. Primary lexical meaning: a person identified as a 'Hebrew'—that is, as part of a group associated with the Israelite heritage and language, particularly in distinction from Greek-speaking or Hellenized Israelites. Secondarily, used self-referentially or by others to highlight non-Greek ancestry, language, or customs among Israelites.
