where were Jews geographically from in the very beginning of time?

Answer 1

The history of the Jews actually begins with Abraham, whose story begins in Genesis 11:26 and continues on until Genesis 25:8.

Abraham (or Abram, as his name was originally) was a Chaldean from the town of Ur, This is believed to have been located in what is called the Fertile Crescent, a portion of the Middle East that took in, among other places, the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers (often referred to as Mesopotamia, "the land between the rivers")--modern-day Iraq and Iran, as well as other places such as Jordan, Syria, and Israel.

They are sometimes referred to as Semites or Semitic people, because of their descent from Shem, one of Noah's sons. This designation applies equally to Arabs, because Ishmael, Abraham's son by his wife's maid, was also descended from Shem through his father.

So, in a nutshell, the Jews were historically a Middle Eastern people who, over the centuries, migrated throughout the world.

Answer 2

According to Genesis, the Jews were not around since the beginning of time. The first Jew was Abraham. His heirs through Isaac became the Jewish nation.

Following their release from bondage in Egypt, the Jewish nation was promised (by G-d) the land that is now Israel, part of Jordan and Egypt. The Israelis took the land over by force and divine intervention and occupied the land until after the death of Jesus Christ.

In 1948/49, the United Nations gave a small tract of land back to the Jewish leadership and they reformed the nation of Israel

Answer 3

Abraham resettled from what is today Iran, to what is present day Israel,and Jordan. Israel, Abraham's grandson, and all his descendants relocated to Egypt during a drought, and latter became second class citizens and then slaves in Egypt over many generations. They were exiled from Egypt on mass with Moses and after a generation of being nomads, returned to the land of Israel, where they warred and won against the inhabitants there (largely descendants of Israel's cousins, Arabs). They settled Israel and Jordan for several generations until Egypt captured and removed most of the northern population. Then Babylon (Iran) captured and removed most of the residents of the southern part. 400 years latter Israeli's were still returning to Israel, when the Romans eradicated Jerusalem's population, and forced the remaining Jews into exile. They were dispersed throughout the empire and banned from any land ownership (a measure which lasted throughout the middle ages, and in some aspects even into the twentieth century.
