Was it not Abram, whom came out of the land of Ur of the Chaldeans?
This verse in Gen14:13 is the first time the word Hebrew appears in the Bible and it shows that after the LORD called Abram to separate himself from his fleshly father's house(sound familiar?) and who would later be called by a new name of Abr-AH(breath of life or made alive)-am & Sarai to Sar-AH(breath of life or made alive) and would be the first Hebrew as in God's people.
Gen 14:13
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eschol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
KJV
So, if Abram was not called a Hebrew until after he started obeying the Voice of God and began to move forward to separate himself from his fleshly family(meaning to put away the things we have learned in our earthly father's house) to begin to obey the LORD to find the path to his Promised land which is the land of Canaan that the LORD had promised to give him. So, why do we not understand that those who are in Christ are of the Seed of Abraham and heirs of the Promised land rather Jew or Gentile when we separate ourselves from our fleshly families who reject Christ and walk by Faith to take God at His Word?
For it is the Word that says that those of the flesh are not the children of the Promise, but in Isaac shall your seed be called.
Rom 9:6-10
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are NOT the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
KJV
Gal 4:24-31
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out{NOT HATE, BUT BRING THEM INTO THE COVENANT OF THE FREE WOMAN TO SAVE THEM} the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
KJV
Gen 11:31-12:4
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
Genesis 12
12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
KJV
Neh 9:7-8
7 Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
