Come and study the Holy Scriptures with us as Father Stephen DeYoung teaches verse by verse on the podcast,

The Whole Council of God. Father Stephen holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies, and it's an Orthodox

priest serving at Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church in Lafayette, Louisiana.

So there's also, there is a group of people in the ancient Near East called the

Hobby Room.

This is another one of those things, right?

When we discover people talking about the Hobby Roo, there were a bunch of people who said,

Hebrews!

We found them.

I was taught that.

Yeah.

That actually went for a while in the 20th century, for a solid part of the 20th century.

That was considered to be a lock.

Not so much anymore.

Because we found out that the hobby, that first of all, Hobbyro means sort of like

wanderer, right?

And so there may be a connection to the word Hebrew in the sense that like Abraham was a

nomad, right?

And his sons, his grandsons, et cetera, were nomads, right? So

there may be a connection there, but the Habiru who like the Egyptians talk about are like

roaming mercenaries who sort of robed around getting paid to fight for different people's armies.

Right.
