Strong's Lexicon Ioudaios: Jew, Jewish Original Word: Ἰουδαῖος Word Origin: Derived from Ἰούδας (Ioudas), meaning "Judah," which refers to the tribe of Judah or the region of Judea. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3064: יְהוּדִי (Yehudi) - Jew, Jewish - H3063: יְהוּדָה (Yehudah) - Judah Usage: The term "Ioudaios" is used in the New Testament to refer to individuals who are descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, specifically those belonging to the tribe of Judah or residing in the region of Judea. It can also denote adherence to the Jewish faith and customs. In the New Testament, "Ioudaios" is often used to distinguish Jews from Gentiles and to describe the religious leaders and people who were part of the Jewish community during the time of Jesus and the early church. Cultural and Historical Background: The term "Ioudaios" reflects the identity of the Jewish people, who were known for their monotheistic faith, adherence to the Mosaic Law, and cultural practices that set them apart from surrounding nations. During the Second Temple period, Jews were dispersed throughout the Roman Empire, yet they maintained a strong sense of identity and community through their religious practices and synagogues. The term also carries political and social connotations, as Jews were often subject to Roman rule and experienced varying degrees of autonomy and persecution.
