1 | Are Jews, Hebrews, Israelites the same? | OT general | marigold | 218851 | ||
I've been reading in Exodus and I am confused. Are the Hebrews and the Jews the same. Are the Israelites Hebrews or Jews? Or they all Jews? Was Moses a Jew or a Hebrew? | ||||||
2 | Are Jews, Hebrews, Israelites the same? | OT general | stjohn | 218852 | ||
Hi Marigold, There is a lot more to it then this, but the short answer is: they are all the same. They were first called Hebrews from the time of Abraham. It wasn't until the time of Jacob (who God first called Israel) that they were called Israelites. It has been since his time that they are called Israelites because they are his descendants. A jew in one sense (there is more) is someone who follows that religion, they don't have to be Israeli, they can be what is called proselytes, i.e. a Jew who is not one by birth, but by conversion. But, all in all, they are all the same. :-) John |
