Answer:
The Old Testament describes the Hebrews as the Israelites because they were led by Jacob, who later changed his name to Israel, from the land of Levant to Egypt.
The old testament described the Israelites as people of a specific religion who believe in the God of Abraham.
It also described them as the children of this God.
At some point, they suffered in Egypt during the famine period.
They also spent 40 years in the wilderness after leaving Egypt before they get to their promised land known as Canaan.
Hence, the book of the old testament described the account and lives of the Hebrews at a great length describing them as the people who believe in the God of Abraham.
