3:17; 7:25; Judg. 8:27; Jer. 3:21), and the “house of Israel” (Ex. 16:31; 40:38). After the split of the united kingdom the northern kingdom took the name Israel. Note: the term Israel is sometimes used emphatically for the true Israel (Ps. 73:1: Isa. 45:17; 49:3; John 1:47; Rom. 9:6; 11:26). Jeshurun is a poetical name for the people of Israel, used in token of affection, meaning “the dear upright people” (Deut. 32:15; 33:5, 26; Isa. 44:2). Judah is one tribe of Israel. According to Gen 29:35 the meaning of Judah is ‘Praise YAH’. Gen 29:35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. Originally a descendant of Judah, later an inhabitant of Judah (southern kingdom), was termed a Judean, i.e. Jew. Consequently, a Jew is considered to be someone who praises YAH. According to the Hebraic word explanation, everyone will be called by GOD HIS dear upright • Hebrew, who follows GOD and so passes over from death into life • Judean, i.e. Jew, who praises YAH • Israelite who wrestles with his evil inclination and with the help of GOD overcomes his flesh. Everyone, who fulfils these conditions, has the hope of the blessing and the promises which are allocated to the groups mentioned in the Bible. YAHWEH’S people are enabled to praise YAH with a circumcised heart. HIS laws are written in their hearts and minds; they know HIM intimately. Therefore, they are a new creation, the Israel of GOD. The biblical definition of who GOD’s Israel or a Judean, i.e. Jew is, differs widely from various secular interpretations available on the marketplace. Below you will find core Bible passages that will assist you to understand GOD’s mind in this matter of relative importance. 20
