"When the Amarna Letters were discovered, the term Habiru surfaced frequently for the first time. Bible scholars and historians were quick to determine a connection between the two, primarily based on the obvious linguistic similarity. However, this initial connection was premature.

The Habiru have widely been accepted by scholars as representing a social element only. This is one distinct difference between the Habiru and the ancient Hebrews."

Oops! Well, that page fit well. I've said before that I believe the Hebrews were a random bunch of refugees, etc, before leaving Egypt and that their religion was only formulated when they arrrived at Mount Sinai. They could have been Habiru before and Hebrew after. One thing that makes it fit well is that people who believe they are special do not need to parade it about and wear it on their sleeves. Now, imagine the Hebrews were Habiru. They leave Egypt having stolen a load of gold and having lived a life of uncertain, challenging and sometimes criminal ways. Their hero is determined to change their fortunes and give them what they've never had before....unity, morality, security and a land they can call their own. Most importantly, though, he tells them they are special. So special in fact that they are god's chosen people! The psychology gives it away for me.
