Berean Strong's Lexicon Yehudiyyah: Jewess, Jewish woman Original Word: יְהוּדִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from יְהוּדִי (Yehudi), meaning "Jew" or "Jewish," which itself comes from יְהוּדָה (Yehudah), meaning "Judah." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent in the New Testament is Ἰουδαία (Ioudaia), Strong's Greek 2453, which refers to Judea or Jewish identity. Usage: The term "Yehudiyyah" refers specifically to a female member of the Jewish people, emphasizing her ethnic and religious identity. It is used to denote a woman belonging to the tribe of Judah or, more broadly, to the Jewish nation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, identity was often tied to tribal and familial affiliations. The tribe of Judah was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and it played a significant role in the history of the Jewish people. The term "Yehudiyyah" would have been used to identify women who were part of this tribe, especially during and after the Babylonian exile when Jewish identity became more pronounced. The Jewish people were known for their distinct religious practices and adherence to the laws given by God through Moses, which set them apart from surrounding nations.
