 Book of Judith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Book of Judith is a deuterocanonical book, included in the Septuagint and in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian Old Testament of the Bible, but excluded by Jews and Protestants.
Even though the Book of Judith is not part of the official Jewish religious canon, its narrative is associated by many within Orthodox Judaism who place it in the Hellenistic period when Judea battled the Seleucid monarchs.
The Book of Judith was originally written in Hebrew.

 JewishEncyclopedia.com - JUDITH, BOOK OF:
As most students of the book have recognized, it was originally written in Hebrew.
What gained for the book its high esteem in early times, in both the Jewish and the Christian world, was its intrinsic merit as a story, rather than its religious teaching or its patriotism.
The book has a distinctly religious trend, and is well calculated to inspire both patriotism and piety.

 Daniel and Judith
Judith 8 introduces Judith, "daughter of Merari the son of Ox, son of Joseph, son of Oziel, son of Elkiah, son of Ananias, son of Gideon, son of Raphaim, son of Ahitub, son of Elijah, son of Hilkiah, son of Eliab, son of Nathanael, son of Salamiel, son of Sarasadai, son of Israel."
Like Judith's "Nebuchadnezzar" Antiochus IV Epiphanes claimed that he was a god ("Epiphanes" = "God Manifest") and forced Jews to abandon their traditional worship in 167 BCE (see 1 Mac 1; Dan 7).
Note also that it is Judith, not her husband, whose geneaology is here traced.

 USCCB - NAB - Judith - Introduction
The beautiful hymn of the people honoring Judith (Judith 15:9-10) is often applied to Mary in the liturgy.
Note the parallel with the time of the Exodus: as God had delivered his people by the hand of Moses, so he could deliver them by the hand of the pious widow Judith (see note on Judith 2:12).
The theme of God's hand as the agent of this providential activity, reflected of old in the hand of Moses and now in the hand of Judith, is again exemplified at a later time in Jewish synagogue art.

 Commentary on the Book of Judith
Judith, now forced to work within the time-frame of those "five days" [63] that had been established against her will - but no doubt seeing these now as the 'cards (time frame) that God had dealt her' - then makes this bold pronouncement again completely in the prophetic style of Joan of Arc (vv.
Bagoas, who immediately went to fetch Judith, is unlikely to have been the Rabsaris who had accompanied the Turtan, because he could then have told Holofernes who the Israelites were, instead of leaving him in ignorance during the previous invasion (2 Kings 18:17).
Again, Judith is said to have lived to the age of 105 and Israel was not troubled again during her lifetime nor for long afterwards (cf.
