1 | Context versus what is translated. | 1 Sam 25:22 | Shythiyl | 165041 | ||
Out of ignorance, and because I believe I may have saw the term in the previous post, I used the term Jewish Scriptures, but then I just realized that I have always thought of the Hebrews as Jewish. I have only the scriptural education of a self/Holy Spirit taught student of the scriptures. I believe this would be a safe assumption, but where scripture is concerned, though my ignorance never fails to amaze me, assumption is against my character. I have thought of this; that the Jew came from Judah, the son of Jacob, but I have never researched it. |

2 | Context versus what is translated. | 1 Sam 25:22 | haasdijk | 165077 | ||
There are a number of terms that have been used to refer to Jacob's decendents throughout history: Hebrews Israelites, Jews, Israelis! These words can be confusing at times, but the explaination of them is fairly simple. There is a chronological order to the use of these four terms: (roughly) The term Hebrews is the first term used. It is used before the founding of the kingdom of Israel. The term Israelite is generally used for those who lived between the events of the founding of the kindgom of Israel and the Babylonian exile. The term Jew is generally used for those of Jacob's decendants who lived after the exile all the way to the present day. If a Jew in our day returns to live in modern Israel, he is known as an Israeli. Perhaps this is a helpful clarification. (perhaps it isn't! If so, sorry!). Blessings. In Christ, haasdijk I have yet to find a place where all of this info is contained on one page (of a reputable source!). The chronological order, although not the exact division markers, can be found in Maurice Blanchot's book, The Infinite Conversation, top of page 126. This book can be read using Google Books and searching for the four terms. |
