STRONGS NT 2448: Ιουδα

Ιουδα (see Ἰούδας, at the beginning and 1), indeclinable, Judah, a proper name; in the Sept.:

1. the fourth son of the patriarch Jacob;

2. the tribe that sprang from him.

3. the region which this tribe occupied (cf. Winer's Grammar, 114 (108)); so in the N. T. in Matthew 2:6 (twice); πόλις Ιουδα (Judges 17:8), a city of the tribe of Judah, Luke 1:39, where it is a matter of dispute what city is meant; the most probable conjecture seems to be that Hebron is referred to — a city assigned to the priests, situated 'in the hill country' (Χεβρων ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ιουδα, Joshua 21:11), the native place of John the Baptist according to Jewish tradition. (Cf. B. D. American edition under the word Juda, a City of.)

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Hebrew יְהוּדָה (Yehudah)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3063 יְהוּדָה (Yehudah): Judah, the name of five Israelites; also of the tribe descended from the first, and of its territory.

Usage: The name Ἰούδα is used in the New Testament to refer to several individuals, most notably Judah, the son of Jacob and Leah, and Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus. It is also used for other figures such as Judas, the brother of Jesus, and Judas, called Barsabbas.

Context: The name Ἰούδα appears frequently in the New Testament, reflecting its common usage in Jewish culture. It is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Yehudah, which means "praised" or "let Him (God) be praised."

• Judah, Son of Jacob: Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, and he became the progenitor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Judah held a prominent position among the tribes, eventually leading to the establishment of the Kingdom of Judah. The lineage of Judah is significant in biblical history, as it is from this tribe that King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. In the New Testament, Judah is mentioned in genealogies, such as in Matthew 1:2-3, "Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers."

• Judas Iscariot: Perhaps the most infamous bearer of the name, Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He is best known for betraying Jesus to the religious authorities for thirty pieces of silver, an act that led to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. His betrayal is recounted in passages such as Matthew 26:14-16, "Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, 'What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?' And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver."

• Judas, Brother of Jesus: Another notable figure is Judas, one of the brothers of Jesus, mentioned in Matthew 13:55, "Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?"

• Judas, Called Barsabbas: This Judas was a leader in the early Christian church, mentioned in Acts 15:22, "Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to select men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, two leaders among the brothers."
