Brown-Driver-Briggs II. יְהוּדִית proper name, feminine (relation to foregoing names obscure) — wife of Esau Genesis 26:34, daughter of בְּאֵרִי the Hittite (not named Genesis 36:1); ᵐ5 Ιουδιν. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Feminine form of יְהוּדִי (Yehudi), which is derived from יְהוּדָה (Yehudah), meaning "Judah."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Jehudith in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of a "Jewess" or a woman from Judah might be related to Greek terms like Ἰουδαία (Ioudaia) or Ἰουδαῖος (Ioudaios) in the New Testament, which refer to Judean or Jewish identity. Usage: The name Jehudith appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name. Context: Jehudith is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the wives of Esau, the son of Isaac and Rebekah. She is identified as the daughter of Beeri the Hittite. Her marriage to Esau is noted in Genesis 26:34, where it is recorded that Esau took her as a wife when he was forty years old. The union with Jehudith, along with another Hittite woman named Basemath, is described as a source of grief to Esau's parents, Isaac and Rebekah. This narrative highlights the cultural and familial tensions arising from Esau's marriages to Canaanite women, which were contrary to the desires of his parents, who preferred unions within their own kinship group. The account of Jehudith serves as a backdrop to the broader themes of family dynamics and covenantal lineage in the patriarchal narratives.
