The appellation "Jew" is derived from the patriarch Judah, and was originally applied to all members of that tribe and also to subjects of the separate kingdom of Judah, in contradiction to the seceding ten tribes, who retained the name of Israelites. During the captivity and ever since, the term "Jew" seems to have been applied indiscriminately to the whole race.
I am here, looking at your work. I am looking for Mark 5:44 written with a transparent background. From my earlier experience verses on transparent backgrounds are most abundant with "funeral" included in the search box. Saw one of your leper verses and followed it back to that page. I wondered about how the use of Jew came about. After decades, now I know. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit Denise, I hope you find more of what you are curious about here. I will be publishing more under funeral in the coming year...
