| | Judah (Biblical figure) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Genesis (the first book of the Bible) Judah (יְהוּדָה "Praise", Standard Hebrew Yəhuda, Tiberian Hebrew Yəhûḏāh) is the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, born in Padan-aram (Genesis xxix. | | | Judah atoned for that fault by confessing that it was he who had given Tamar the pledge; and he was rewarded for that confession by a share in the future world (Soṭah 7b). | | | It is generally maintained by historical critical studies of the Bible that Judah is the eponymous ancestor of the tribe of that name, and that the narrative in Genesis gives the history of the tribe in the form of personal history. |

| | When Judah marries the daughters of a strange god, Judah is betraying her own identity, destroying her place as a peculiar people to the Lord. | | | Making a covenant with the daughter of a foreign god breaks the covenant of the true God. | | | God says, "By doing this, you are profaning the covenant of the fathers." From the beginning, when God made His covenant with Abraham, He had said, "You belong to Me, from generation to generation." You are My treasured possession, out of all the earth. |

| | Judah, the house of David, "the inhabitants of Jerusalem," and the Levites (all these groups are part of the house of Judah) are astounded and dismayed at the identity of their Messiah! | | | Jacob was renamed Israel (Genesis 32:28), and Judah was one of his twelve sons. | | | Genesis 49:1 also prophesies: "Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise." This has been fulfilled in the fact that modern Christendom widely regards the Jews as "the chosen people." Ironically, many of the Christians who regard the Jews as "the chosen people" are themselves Israelites (members of the ten tribes of Israel). |

| | Creating Biblical Figures - By Thomas L. Thompson |
| | It is the disciples who bear the onus of the parable, evoking the Bible’s never-ending story of ignorance in the face of enlightenment. | | | In the biblical use of this tradition, metaphorical continuity with ancient Near Eastern texts is so marked that one can well identify Thutmosis III as a clear predecessor of the saving messianic role of the Bible’s holy war narratives. | | | While this first part of my book sets the question of Jesus as a figure of parable, part two takes up the function of royal ideology in ancient literature and its impact on the development of the biblical figure of the messiah that transforms this ideology to serve a function of piety. |

| | Thus Israel's view of equality with the other nations could no longer be sustained, but instead of lapsing into despair, they elevated their god further, viewing him as punishing them for their sins, and it followed then that he must control the fates of all nations. | | | This view coincides with Karl Jaspers' "Axial Age", wherein revolutionary new understandings of the universe began to emerge.[5] The exile would have caused a move from identity based on territorial ownership to one of unique belief and practice, that would later prove to be an enduring cultural safeguard against the aliens around them. | | | Yahweh and El Many scholars have noted the complete absence of polemics in the Bible against El, the chief god of the Canaanite pantheon, reserving the most polemic against other Canaanite gods like Baal, Mot (Death), and Yamm (Sea), or the deities of other ethnic groups such as the Philistines. |
