1 | Where and when did Gentiles originate? | Bible general Archive 4 | homer4v | 207803 | ||
Abraham was an Hebrew,which comes from the word 'eber'meaning 'from across the river'. Abraham's nephew Lot, was also a Hebrew. Abraham then begat Isaac, who naturally was Hebrew also. However, neither of them, nor Lot were Jews. Why? Judah hadn't been born yet. Then Isaac begat Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. Israel(Jacob) had 12 sons who, today, have become nations as numerous as the sands of the sea and the stars of the sky. All 12 sons were Israelites(born of Jacob, who was Israel).Only those of his son Judah were of Judah,i.e."Jews". The other 11 tribes were of Israel, but not of Judah. Not all Hebrew's are Israelites.(Lot and his family for example). Not all Israelites are Jews. Most aren't. 11 of the 12 tribes aren't. Only those of Judah. The 11 tribes are both Israelites and Hebrews, but not Jews. | ||||||

Shalom homer4v, You've got it a little mixed up and little right. It was actually the Southern Kingdom aka Judah (Judah, Simeon within, Benjamin and the Levites within those 3 areas) that became known as Jews and the Northern Kingdom aka Ephraim (which comprised the other tribes and Levites within those areas) that became known also as Israelites but not Jews, and it remains such today. And according to the scripture that Steve shared with you, there were faithful from all tribes that joined up with Southern Kingdom/Judah (whether they retained their original tribal heritage I don't know, but personally, I would think that they didn't if they left the areaa that had been their inheritance. That's just an assumption, but one that makes sense.) Cheri |
