Bible Question: i am wondering what the meaning of judah is? i find it in some songs. |
Bible Answer: 'JUDAH '(jyoo' duh) Personal, tribal, and territorial name meaning, “Praise Yahweh,” but may have originally been related to the mountain of Jehud. '1. In Genesis 29:35, the fourth son of Jacob and the progenitor of the tribe of Judah. His mother was Leah. Though Judah is prominent in the Genesis narratives, he seldom occupies center stage. Genesis 38:1 is an exception. It relates the seduction of Judah by his daughter-in-law Tamar. Their union resulted in the birth of Pharez and Zarah. Genesis 49:8-12 preserves the blessing of Judah by Jacob. Through Judah ran the genealogical line that led to Jesus.' '2. The tribe of Judah occupied the strategically important territory just to the west of the Dead Sea. The city of Jerusalem was on the border between Judah and Benjamin. David was from the tribe of Judah. '3. When the kingdom was divided following the death of Solomon, the southern kingdom took the name Judah. See Judas; Geography; Tribes of Israel; Patriarchs; Israel. ____________________ Holman Bible Dictionary, published by Broadman and Holman, 1991 (http://beta.studylight.org/dic/hbd/) |
