I am not too familiar with the bible, but it seems that all the stories I hear of God revealing himself, is to hebrews. I appreciate your answers thank you.

Yes. What a good question.
I honestly don't recall specific chapters and verses right now. But the very first gentile to received God's word was Cornelius, a Roman guard, along with his household. This came after Peter received a vision from God telling him he should not call unclean that which God himself had called clean. He was directed by holy spirit to Cornelius' home and stayed there and taught his household and they all became believers.
If you need the exact scriptural citation, please edit your question, and I'd be happy to look it up for you.

Depends on what you mean by gentile. God reveled Himself to Abraham before they were known as Hebrews. And of course there is Noah and Adam. When Jesus was here he interacted with many gentiles.

Ruth an ancestress of Jesus was not a Jew. She was the daughter -in-law of a Jewish women. she was selected by God.
God tried to make a nation to show what life could be like under a perfect set of laws. They couldn't do it.
Many times they became worse than the nations surrounding them. He had them destroyed also for their complete disobedience.
God is selecting some people to serve him and sometimes they are Jews. But being a Jew does not guarantee salvation. Jesus condemned the religious leaders of his day saying they had no hope of ever being saved. They were Jews. While some Jews his disciples such as Peter and John he selected to be in his heavenly kingdom.
Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. We reap what we sow.
Acts 10:34 god is not partial but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

by His audible voice heard by Adam, eve, moses...and actually some others interior the Bible. the ten commandments have been written by God's finger, two times (moses broke the 1st one) by parting the crimson Sea, sending all those plaques to the Egyptians. Prophesying the arriving of Jesus in each e book of the Bible. He grew to alter into human (Jesus) and informed us in His very own words approximately God the father, and executed countless miracles and gave his existence for us and died and has risen!

As already mentioned Cornelius and Nebacanezzer. But there was also the king after Nebacanezzer (his son) I think the name is Belshazzar but I'm not sure....he saw the hand of God write on the wall.

Well, if you consider the NT the true word of God then yes, he revealed himself in the form of Jesus.

Cornelius, Nebucanezzar (forgive my spelling), and a certain king in the story of Abraham and Sarah.
I'm sure there are many more examples.

Before there was a Jew, we had Gentile so I guess you would say such people as Adam and Abraham.
