[Avodah] Hebrews/Israelites/Bnei Yisroel - Jews

[RallisW at aol.com]

A very common misnomer used by both clergy and lay  people, is to refer to 
the Bnei Yisroel in the Torah as  Jews. 
 
For example; when the Jews left Egypt. Forgetting that 11 other tribes also  
left Egypt?
 
Let's keep in mind Moshe Rabbeinu was not a Jew. 
 
The first person in Tanach that I am aware of, that was called a Jew, was  
Mordechai.
