Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָדָה (yadah), meaning "to praise" or "to give thanks." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2448 (Ἰούδας • Ioudas): This Greek term corresponds to the Hebrew "Judah" and is used in the New Testament to refer to the patriarch Judah, the tribe, and other individuals named Judas, including Judas Iscariot. • G2455 (Ἰούδας • Ioudas): This entry is similar to G2448 and is used interchangeably in the New Testament for the same purposes, highlighting the continuity of the name and its significance across both Testaments. Usage: The term "Jehudah" is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to: • The fourth son of Jacob and Leah. • The tribe descended from Judah. • The southern kingdom of Israel, known as the Kingdom of Judah. • Various individuals named Judah in the Old Testament. Context: • Judah, Son of Jacob: Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, and he played a significant role among his brothers. He is notably involved in the story of Joseph, where he suggests selling Joseph to the Ishmaelites (Genesis 37:26-27). Judah's character develops over time, showing leadership and responsibility, particularly in the narrative of Joseph's reconciliation with his brothers (Genesis 44:18-34). • Tribe of Judah: The tribe of Judah became one of the most prominent tribes of Israel. It settled in the southern part of the land of Canaan and was known for its strength and leadership. King David, a central figure in the Bible, was from the tribe of Judah, and the tribe is often associated with the Davidic line of kings. • Kingdom of Judah: After the division of the united monarchy, the southern kingdom was named Judah, with Jerusalem as its capital. This kingdom included the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and maintained the Davidic dynasty. The Kingdom of Judah is significant in biblical history, particularly in the context of the Babylonian exile and the prophetic literature. • Other Individuals Named Judah: Several other individuals in the Old Testament bear the name Judah, including a post-exilic leader who helped rebuild Jerusalem (Nehemiah 12:8).
