Jews hadn't come through until later generations because of Adam's sin, although Adam is, as you have shared Rev. M. Rodimer "chosen." Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Abraham recognized as the first Jew being referred to as "Hebrew?" The Covenant at Mount Sinai had not yet taken place, so there wasn't yet a Jewish People. Besides being anyone who descends from Abraham and/or following his teaching, "Jews" as by definition are also from Judah, the twelve sons of Jacob, the twelve tribes of Israel.
