The Jewish nation began with Avraham Yitzchak and Yaakov. After Yaakov and his children traveled to Egypt, the Jewish nation multiplied in huge numbers, and finally left Egypt into the Sinai desert. Afetr being in the desert for 50 days, they all witnessed the Sinai experience, which was a Divine revelation to the entire nation at Mt. Sinai. That is where the Jewish laws and directions for life were given, and is kept until today by observant Jews all over the world.

I hope that this answers your question.

After leaving Egypt the Israelites received the Ten Commandment, while wondering the wilderness they received many more laws. When they returned to the land promised their forefather Abraham they became a nation of Israel and fallowed the Mosaic Laws. Later they divided into Two Kingdoms Judah in the North and Israel in the south. Israel was destroyed and Judah was taken captive to Babylon. That is where the term Jews was given them (sort form of Judah). When the returned out of captivity they retained the name Jews.

there's a retaining that we do not understand who chanced on water, even though it become actually no longer the fish. if so, it is not person-friendly to imagine how humankind chanced on existence—or conceived the absence of it. If to change into attentive to the water you should take care of to are conscious of it from the outdoors, what's necessary to understand existence itself? How can any human beings be previous existence? yet a tale of the starting up is purely that: a fact that there is existence and we are swimming in it. maximum peoples have myths of ways our international began, how the Earth and its creatures were shaped in some mythological previous from some more suitable, celestial international. From a large element got here a smaller one—that matches appropriate into what all of us understand and how we assume of. We finally end up with a universe continuing ad infinitum in time and area. The finite extending infinitely, consistently rebuilding itself through itself ability. Absurd, perhaps, yet totally outfitted of knowables. Being human, we are frequently more suitable delicate with the absurd than with the unknowable. yet to imagine a introduction of heaven and earth out of the void—that would look previous the human concepts. for the way ought to we assume of that which we do not understand? How can we assume of the absence of the very substance of our mind's eye —a lack of the verb “to be?” it particularly is why, at the same time as the historic Greeks translated the Bible, they wrote, “G–d, interior the starting up, made heaven and earth.” They didn’t have a note for introduction ex-nihilo, because the Hebrews did, because for them the type of idea purely did not exist. EXCERPT!!

From parts in the Middle East, Mesopotamia, Arabia, Lebanon. Reading "The Epic of Gilgamesh" and comments to it may give good hints.

Jewish Religion came from Abraham - he is called the Father of Israel. All Jews are saved by faith in God - we can call it justification by faith.
