Habiru (sometimes written as Hapiru, and more accurately as ʿApiru, meaning "dusty, dirty," is a term used in 2nd-millennium BCE texts throughout the Fertile Crescent for people variously described as rebels, outlaws, raiders, mercenaries, bowmen, servants, slaves, and laborers.

What is the etymological history of the term Habiru? What do we know about this mysterious group or groups?

What did ancient sources have to say about them? And what do we know about who they became?

Seth from World History by a Jew takes us into a fascinating study of the Habiru, an intense examination of etymology and a breakdown of the Hebrew language and explains why it is important.
