Yehud: Judah

Original Word: יְהיּד
Part of Speech: Proper Name
Transliteration: Yhuwd
Pronunciation: yeh-HOOD
Phonetic Spelling: (yeh-hood')
Definition: Judah
Meaning: Judah, Judaea

Word Origin: Derived from יְהוּדָה (Yehudah), meaning "Judah"

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for Judah is Ἰούδας (Ioudas), Strong's Greek #2455, which is used in the New Testament to refer to the tribe, region, and descendants of Judah.

Usage: The term "Yehud" refers to the region or province of Judah, particularly during the Persian period when it was a district within the larger Persian Empire. It is used to denote the geographical area inhabited by the tribe of Judah and later the southern kingdom of Judah.

Cultural and Historical Background: Yehud was a significant region in ancient Israel, known for its central role in the history of the Jewish people. After the Babylonian exile, the area became a Persian province, and the term "Yehud" was used to describe this administrative district. The region was pivotal in the post-exilic restoration of Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple under leaders like Zerubbabel and Nehemiah. Yehud was a center of Jewish life, culture, and religion, maintaining its identity despite foreign rule.
