1 | Who is a Jew? | Rom 2:28 | MJH | 139100 | ||
Kalos, A Jew is from the tribe of Judah. Usually one thinks of Israel and Jew as one and the same. Technically that is not accurate. But since most who remain are from the tribe of Judah, the name Jew came to mean all Israel. It is interesting to note that Paul (Saul) was a Benjamite, and not a Jew (from Judah). I'm certain there is much more detail information about how and when this term Jew came about and when it replaced Judah and when it came to mean all Israel. |

2 | Who is a Jew? | Rom 2:28 | kalos | 139108 | ||
Paul was not a Jew? NASB Acts 21:39 But Paul said, "I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I beg you, allow me to speak to the people." |

3 | Who is a Jew? | Rom 2:28 | MJH | 139145 | ||
Like I said, the term Jew was used to refer to all those of Israel by this time. But the term originated from the tribe of Judah which for centuries was the only tribe in the Land; however, some individuals from other tribes were there in very small number. Thus Paul, a Benjamite, would refer to himself as a Jew by this time in history—especially speaking to Greeks or Romans. If I get some time I will research it some more and provide more definite information, none of which is really important to know, but of late I have been very interested in the Hebrew and world history during the second temple times.
