In the Bible, Hebrews, or Jews, are a religious and ethnic group descended from Abraham and bound to God by a series of covenants. Their formation began with God's covenant with Abraham and continued through slavery in Egypt, the Exodus, the Sinai covenant, and the history of Israel's tribes. Biblical literature presents Israel as God's chosen people, chosen not for privilege alone but for special responsibility and witness. The New Testament affirms that salvation is from the Jews, while also describing the people's partial rejection of Christ and the Christian understanding of the Church as the New Israel.
