Jews are one of the most ancient peoples in the world. Jewish history is recorded in the Bible, by historians outside of the Bible, and through archeology. We have more facts about Jewish history than that of any other nation – which we will use to build a timeline to summarize the history of the Jews.
Abraham: The Jewish Family Tree Begins
The timeline starts with Abraham, the founder of the Jewish people, who lived about 2000 BC. He is even named outside the Bible in ancient clay tablets, dated around 1950 BC in contracts between him and kings in Babylonia.
Abraham was a real historical figure, as well as the man who believed promises from G-d, blessed be He, of a land and a people. The timeline continues with the green bar when Abraham’s descendants were slaves in Egypt. This period of time started when Joseph, great-grandson of Abraham, led the Israelites to Egypt, where later on they became slaves.
Moses: The Israelites become a Nation under G-d
Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt with the Passover Plague, which destroyed Egypt and allowed the Israelite Exodus from Egypt to the land of Israel. Moses wrote the Torah, and at its end, Moses prophesied Blessings and Curses on the Israelites. They would be Blessed if they obeyed G-d, blessed be He, but experience a Curse if they did not. These Blessings & Curses were to follow the Jewish people ever after.
