Strong's Lexicon Yehudain: Jews, Judeans Original Word: יְהוּדָאִי Word Origin: Derived from יְהוּדָה (Yehudah), meaning "Judah" or "Jew." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the New Testament is Ἰουδαῖος (Ioudaios), Strong's Greek #2453, which also means "Jew" or "Judean." Usage: The term "Yehudain" refers to the people of Judah, commonly known as Jews or Judeans. It is used to identify the descendants of the tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and later, the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Judah. In the post-exilic period, it broadly refers to the Jewish people as a whole. Cultural and Historical Background: The term "Yehudain" is deeply rooted in the history of the Israelites. The tribe of Judah was one of the most prominent tribes, producing significant biblical figures such as King David and, according to Christian belief, Jesus Christ. After the division of the united monarchy, the southern kingdom was known as Judah, with Jerusalem as its capital. The term "Yehudain" became more widely used during and after the Babylonian exile, as the people returned to their homeland and re-established their identity centered around the temple and the Law.
