In the New Testament, "Israelite" is used to identify individuals who are part of the ethnic and religious community of Israel, often emphasizing their heritage and covenant relationship with God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Israelites are the chosen people of God, as described in the Old Testament. They are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, with whom God made covenants. The Israelites were given the Law through Moses and were called to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19:6). Throughout history, they experienced periods of faithfulness and rebellion, leading to cycles of blessing and judgment. In the New Testament era, Israelites were living under Roman occupation, and the term often distinguished Jewish believers from Gentiles.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2475</b> <i>Israēlítēs</i> (from <a href="/greek/2474.htm">2474</a> <i>/Israḗl</i>, "Israel") – an <i>Israelite</i>; a descendant of the elect-nation of Israel. <a href="/greek/2475.htm">2475</a> <i>/Israēlítēs</i> ("Israelite") has a positive (covenant) overtone, implying someone is a true covenant-believer.
