The word "Jew" is derived from "Judah," one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and later came to denote all Israelites. In the New Testament, the term is used to describe the descendants of the Israelites, particularly those living in Judea. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the Israelites are often referred to as the "children of Israel," a term that encompasses all twelve tribes descended from Jacob, who was also called Israel. The tribe of Judah, from which the term "Jew" is derived, was one of the most prominent tribes, producing kings such as David and Solomon. The division of the kingdom after Solomon's reign led to the southern kingdom being known as Judah, which included the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. New Testament Context By the time of the New Testament, the term "Jew" had become more widely used to describe the people of Israel, particularly those who adhered to the religious practices and traditions of Judaism. The New Testament frequently mentions Jews in the context of their interactions with Jesus and the early Christian church. For example, in the Gospel of John, Jesus speaks to a Samaritan woman, saying, "You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews" (<a href="/john/4-22.htm">John 4:22</a>). The Apostle Paul, himself a Jew, often addressed the relationship between Jews and Gentiles in his epistles. In Romans, he writes, "What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew? Or what value is there in circumcision? Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God" (<a href="/romans/3.htm">Romans 3:1-2</a>). Paul emphasizes that the Jews were the recipients of God's law and promises, yet he also stresses that salvation is available to all through faith in Jesus Christ. Cultural and Religious Identity Throughout history, Jews have maintained a distinct cultural and religious identity, characterized by adherence to the Torah, observance of the Sabbath, and various religious festivals. The Jewish people have faced periods of persecution and dispersion, yet they have preserved their traditions and faith. The Old Testament law, given through Moses, remains central to Jewish religious practice, and the synagogue serves as a place of worship and community gathering. Theological Significance In Christian theology, the Jews hold a unique place as God's chosen people, through whom He revealed His law and promises. The covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob established the foundation for God's relationship with the Jewish people. Christians believe that Jesus, a Jew from the line of David, fulfilled the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament, offering salvation to both Jews and Gentiles. The Apostle Paul addresses the mystery of Israel's role in God's redemptive plan, stating, "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: 'The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob'" (<a href="/romans/11-25.htm">Romans 11:25-26</a>). Modern Implications Today, the term "Jew" encompasses a wide range of cultural, ethnic, and religious identities. While many Jews continue to practice traditional Judaism, others identify culturally or ethnically without religious observance. The modern state of Israel, established in 1948, serves as a focal point for Jewish identity and heritage, though Jews are found in communities worldwide. The relationship between Jews and Christians continues to be a topic of theological and interfaith dialogue, with an emphasis on mutual respect and understanding. The shared heritage of the Old Testament and the recognition of Jesus' Jewish identity provide common ground for discussion and cooperation.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Jewsame as Judah<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Jew(a man of Judea). This name was properly applied to a member of the kingdom of Judah after the separation of the ten tribes. The term first makes its appearance just before the captivity of the ten tribes. The term first makes it appearance just before the captivity of the ten tribes. (<a href="/2_kings/16-6.htm">2 Kings 16:6</a>) After the return the word received a larger application. Partly from the predominance of the members of the old kingdom of Judah among those who returned to Palestine, partly from the identification of Judah with the religious ideas and hopes of the people, all the members of the new state were called Jews (Judeans) and the name was extended to the remnants of the race scattered throughout the nations. Under the name of "Judeans" the people of Israel were known to classical writers. (Tac. H. v.2, etc.) The force of the title "Jew" is seen particularly in the Gospel of St. John, who very rarely uses any other term to describe the opponents of our Lord. At an earlier stage of the progress of the faith it was contrasted with Greek as implying an outward covenant with God, (<a href="/romans/1-16.htm">Romans 1:16</a>; <a href="/romans/2-9.htm">2:9,10</a>; <a href="/colossians/3-11.htm">Colossians 3:11</a>) etc., which was the correlative of Hellenist [<a href="../h/hellenist.htm">HELLENIST</a>], and marked a division of language subsisting within the entire body, and at the same time less expressive than Israelite , which brought out with especial clearness the privileges and hopes of the children of Jacob.

But Paul was styled a Hebrew (<a href="/2_corinthians/11-22.htm">2 Corinthians 11:22</a>; <a href="/philippians/3-5.htm">Philippians 3:5</a>).The history of the Jewish nation is interwoven with the history of Palestine and with the narratives of the lives of their rulers and chief men. They are now [1897] dispersed over all lands, and to this day remain a separate people, "without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image [R.V. `pillar,' marg. `obelisk'], and without an ephod, and without teraphim" (<a href="/hosea/3-4.htm">Hosea 3:4</a>). Till about the beginning of the present century [1800] they were everywhere greatly oppressed, and often cruelly persecuted; but now their condition is greatly improved, and they are admitted in most European countries to all the rights of free citizens. In 1860 the "Jewish disabilities" were removed, and they were admitted to a seat in the British Parliament. Their number in all is estimated at about six millions, about four millions being in Europe.There are three names used in the New Testament to designate this people, (1.) Jews, as regards their nationality, to distinguish them from Gentiles. (2.) Hebrews, with regard to their language and education, to distinguish them from Hellenists, i.e., Jews who spoke the Greek language. (3.) Israelites, as respects their sacred privileges as the chosen people of God.
