Is There A Difference Between Israelites, Hebrews and Jews?
Is There A Difference Between Israelites, Hebrews and Jews?
Ever wondered why the Jewish people have some many names? Biblical scholar Dr. Mark Strauss explores the origins and meanings behind the various names modern audiences consider to be synonymous.

How did "Jew" become the dominate label? Judah/Jews were but 2 Tribes. Who were the other 10? Which wete Hebrew. Israelite = a citizen 9f *srael, like American = citizen of the USA, and that, I am. But, I am of Irish lineage = Basque and "Tribe of Dan" aka "Tuatha de Dannan", Origin, as confirmed by DNA.
Different Jewish
Nobody knows and Nobody will ever know everything is make up as we go today we added tomorrow we subtract more coming
The tribe of Judah is where the name Kingdom of Judah comes from but not all citizens of Judea which became a district controlled by the Romans. Not all citizens of Judea were part of the tribe of Judea. People who were called Jews were expelled from there Judean kingdom for the most part and sold into slavery in the greater Roman Empire. Jews retained the Our Judean identity in part through the name Jewish but the Romans renamed the land after a 600 year long nonexistent enemy group of the Judeans, Fylistina/Palestine after the Philistines.
If there is a man from the peristyle class, Cohen, they are still Jews but they are from the tribe of Levi, (house/line of Aaron) because the they came from the Kingdom of Judeah and Roman Provence of Judeah.
The name Yehuda, which first appears in the Bible as the name of the fourth son of Leah, also became the name of the tribe of the descendents of Yehuda. In this form, it is mentioned numerous times in the Bible. The term “Jew” (Yehudi), on the other hand, does not appear in the earlier books of thte Bible and is to be found only a few times in the later books of the Bible: Kings II, Jeremiah, Zechariah, Nehemiah, Esther and Chronicles.
How then did the name Yehuda evolve into its derivative, “Jew,” and how did it make its way from being the name of one of the tribes of Israel to being identified with the whole Jewish People?
The use of the name Yehuda expanded following the separation from the Kingdom of Israel not only to the name of the tribe but also to the Kingdom of Yehuda, which is the southern kingdom created from the portions of Yehuda, Binyamin, and Shimon. The term Jew was not used as the collective name for the residents of the Kingdom in its early stages; other terms were used, and in particular “men of Yehuda.” Thus, for example in Judges 15:10: “And the men of Yehuda said, ‘Why are you come up against us?’”
The first appearance of the word “Jew” in the Bible is in Kings II 16:6. Its connotation there is identical to that of “men of Yehuda”: “and drove the Jews from Eilat.” Over time, this name replaced the earlier ones, though the meaning remained unchanged. In other words, the term Jew in this period was a person who originated from the Kingdom of Yehuda.
The Judea Capta coin from 71 CE which was minted by the Romans to commemorate their victory. On one side is the image of the victorious Emperor Vespasian. On the other side appears a woman in mourning who represents defeated Yehuda. She sits under a date tree that represents the Land of Israel. The inscription on the coin (in Latin): “Yehuda captured” or “Yehuda defeated.” Hecht Museum,
In 733 BCE, Shalmaneser V, the king of Assyria, began exiling the residents of the northern kingdom of Israel. The exile was completed in 722 by his successor Sargon II. Of the divided kingdom, only Yehuda remained. Over the years, contact was lost with the 10 tribes who apparently disappeared within the societies they were living in, and the only population still identified with the People of Israel was that of the Kingdom of Yehuda.
Accordingly, a gradual process of transformation of the word “Jew” took place: from a term indicating the people of a particular kingdom to one indicating ethnic origin. This became particularly evident in the literature of the Babylonian Exile and later.
Among the Biblical texts, the Book of Esther – which was apparently written in the late Persian period or the early Hellenistic period – contains the largest number of mentions of the word “Jew” in its various forms. The appearance of the term in Esther indicates that already at this stage the name was not restricted to mean only tribal membership. Thus, for example, Haman defines the group as a people: “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom and their laws are different from any other people” (Esther 3:8) and it is referring to the “Jews” as this group is called again and again in the book.
In addition, the introduction of Mordechai in the Megillah indicates that the term “Jew” refers to the whole group: “There was a Jewish man in Shushan the capital whose name was Mordechai, the son of Yair, the son of Shimi, the son of Kish, a Binyaminite” (Esther (2:5). The Sages still viewed this as a troubling redundancy and suggested that it be interpreted as a tribal division: “His father is from Binyamin and his mother is from Yehuda”(Megilla 12b). However, Rashi adopted the straightforward interpretation and took the position that Mordechai was from the tribe of Binyamin and therefore was a “Binyaminite,” but since he had been exiled with the tribe of Yehuda was referred to as a “Jewish man” even though he was not a member of the tribe of Yehuda.
So also in the Book of Nehemiah, which describes the return from the Babylonian Exile that began with the Declaration of Korush in 528 BCE. The events in the Book of Nehemiah itself occurred around 445 BCE, and the term “Jews” refers to the whole people there without any tribal or geographic distinction.
It should be emphasized that although it is understood in most cases that the “Jews” at this stage are indeed the descendents of the tribe of Yehuda, which was the dominant tribe in the Kingdom of Yehuda, the name came to mean every Jew, wherever he was, without any connection to his tribal origin. Thus, if at the time of the exile of the population of the Kingdom of Yehuda to Babylonia the term “Jew” was still in the stage of transition from its geographic-national meaning to its ethnic meaning, on their return from Exile it had already been confirmed as the name of a people, and this would continue to dominate after their return from Exile.
In the late Second Temple period, the dominant meaning of the word “Jew” continued to be an ethnic one, in its parallel connotation to the “People of Israel.” Coins from the period of Aristobulus I, Alexander Jannaeus and Herod, for example, appear with the explicit inscription: “Yehuda/Yehonatan High Priest, Council of the Jews.” Also in the wedding contract of Babta Barat Shimon from the year 128 CE there appears: “According to the law of Moshe and Yehudai.” A similar phrase is found in the wedding contracts from the time of Hillel the Elder from the first century CE.
However, during the period of the Tannaim, in which the term “Yisrael” again became the main word for referring to the people, the term “Jew” was marginalized. Thus, according to the historic dictionary of the Academy of the Hebrew Language, the word “Jews” appears fewer than 10 times in the whole Tanaitic literature, while there are hundreds of mentions of the word “Yisrael.”
Prof. Menahem Kahana, a researcher of the Talmud, believes that there was an intentional transition from the concept “Jew” to the concept “Yisrael” which occurred as a result of the Bar Kochba revolt. According to this explanation, Bar Kochba, who also inscribed his coins with the words “of the Kingdom of Israel,” viewed this phrasing as a political declaration and used it to emphasize the large and expanded kingdom to which he aspired. On the other hand, Aba Ben-David, a scholar of the Hebrew language, claimed that this is simply a switch in language and points to the fact that in Land of Israel Aramaic there was ongoing use of the word “Yehudai.”
In any case, the word “Yisrael” remained the most common term for referring to the people for many years after the Tanaitic period. Alongside it, there was less common usage of the term “Jews” and both continued to be used in their ethnic, cultural, historic and religious connotations.
You all know who the real people are, you and the rest of the world continues to deny them but the world will see eventually who we’ve always been.
The tribe of Israel merged with Yehuda (not Judah). And they were the same before the division. So yes, it is the same. Some small groups of Israelites survived before merging with Yehouda, like the Samaritans.
Hebrew Israellites that's it.
Yes. Hosea makes the difference in Lines clear, Torah makes the difference in Lines clear. King David makes the difference in Lines clear and the Book of Judges makes the Exile of the Jews by the Isralites part of the Hebrews now called Palestinians. The Ashkenazi are not Jews . Genesis chapter 10 verse 3 must be a lie if the Ashkenazi are Jews… Knowing Jews only come from Judah and isralites only come from issachar and while all Hebrews came through Abraham the People of CANNAN renamed by Jacob to PALESTINE still endure the evils of the Jews and Gomite invaders
He is spot on!
Rev 2:9 and 3:9
Abraham was a black man. Jacob was a black man.And the descendants of those are the hebrew israelites black people
Jesus Christ comes from the Tribe of Judah…
semitic has NOTHING to do with the word Shem. Pure Jewish lies.
Tribe of Judah is a bloodline not related to Jews at all. But they never tell yall that. It’s not a person from Judea or a person practicing Judaism.
Fact most Jews are partly Hebrew and some are Slavic/Turk from west Khazaria, also many genetic tests for the Caribbean people is currently still being study but have all ready found in a small non-Jewish population having 03-10 percent Israelite DNA per person, also found in one individual from Mexico 90 percent Jewish with admixture, while some European Jews about 86-90 percent had NO HEBREW!!! 😮 Only 10-14 Percent per person, so the Karzarian genetics does move to the charts for some European Jews, other Jews showed black Egyptian, descending from the Israelite who mostly never left the middle East, while other show from Africa to the Middle East, perhaps coming from before the time of Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten one of the so call father's of Monotheism, all this info was sent to the worlds leaders an so the attempt to slow down these's shocking fact's that I think, scholars around the world already knew, accept for some Jewish groups who were unaware, others reject it outright because the claim to Israel could be threaten, these are shocking facts, whether it works for us, or against us, never the less the truth always has a way in coming out, weather we like it or not 😊

I have a very wealthy friend of mine from Ecuador. He works in America. All the money he makes, he sends it back home to his country so they can build hospitals, schools, and roads. How is that different or conspiratorial?
Jewish people practice Judaism .
Israelite people live in Israel .
Hebrew people speak Hebrew .
Zionist are neither , they just run the Nation of Israel without God's blessing .
Like almost all Christian theology. Forgetting that ''the Old testament'' also uses the word Jew for all Israelite's. Etc.
🤢🤮
NO
Jew is taken from Judah? Tell the true history of the letter ‘J’ first. Ancient Hebrew name of Judah is Yahawadah. So, how did the transformation happen? Shalawam.
The irony is the religious book they stand by describes Jews as having bronze skin color and hair that is like wool.
Discrepancies..
Jeremiah 14.2 KJV
Say that Judah ( Jews) are black to the ground
Hebrew, is the whole covenant of mother and father, Abraham. It has not origin in religion but the first 10 commandments foundation before multiplication of sons who started to build upon cult and mother Leah, covenant came that , shows the rejection and then continues to build upon a ideology of Judaism , Islam and Christianity. ( Israel / Jews. That Jacob and his 4 wives polygamous , circle of key of Solomon ). Now you understand the difference. Abraham my roots not Jacob.
How stupid! Bruh, how in the crap are you going "to tell" us about what the differences are by using the the phrase… "The word Hebrew, ( probably ) comes from…" You might wanna throw the word "try" in your opening. As in… "I'll try to explain." So stupid!
***** #1- #ISRAELITES – PIN POINTS (WHERE/GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION) THE PROMISE BEFORE THE LAW (WAS GIVEN)/TO WHAT NATION……. #2 – #HEBREW SIGNIFIES BELIEF/FAITH OF THE WORD OF GOD COMING TO PASS & BEING ACCOUNTED TO ABRAHAM….. FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS (BEING THE FIRST HEBREW) NOT HIS FATHER TERAH…….. = BEFORE MOSES & THE LAW …….#3 – #JEW IS A DERIVATIVE OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH & BELIEF IN THE LAW OF MOSES OUTSIDE OF THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM …… THE LAW MOSES 430 YRS AFTER THE FAITH OF THE PROMISE OF ABRAHAM….. CANNOT DISANNUL THAT WHICH CAME BEFORE IT…… FOR THE LAW WITHOUT THE PROMISE BY FAITH…. IS HERESY AND THE ANTICHRIST!
More simple answer Elohim renamed Jacob Israel Jacob/Israel had 12 sons 1 named Judah Judah sons are the Jews all Jacob sons including Judah are called Israelites Shem is the father of Abraham who is Jacob father so sometimes nations call Israelites Shemites the term Semite is incorrect calling all Israelites Jews is incorrect because you can’t determine who are Judah sons from the other 11 sons the biblical Israelites don’t know who they are or where they came from according to the Bible Deuteronomy 24-32 they was enslaved by ship scattered across the earth so the true Israelites don’t even know they Jews or Israelites until the last days Elohim God will awaken his ppl to remember themselves again this is a sign to all we are in the last days Israel don’t get help or rich their poor hated by all nations called names and bi-words they’re not loved this is how you know the difference between converts and true bloodline biblical Israel pls don’t hide or block truth lies deleting comments is evil everyone should be allowed to tell truthful comments especially if they’re quoted from the Bible All praise and glory to father Yahawah our Elohim and Blessed be Yahshuah Hamashiac aka Jesus
And you were NOT part of ANY of them.
As fake as the Bible that was created by Constantine nothing Holy or Devine. Don't try and justify something that did not exist. The first Jesus was black not white so there can be no DNA on plagiarism.
Genetic studies indicate that a significant portion of Ashkenazi Jews descend from a relatively small group of founders in Europe, resulting in a "genetic bottleneck" that significantly shaped their genetic makeup; this means that while they may have some Middle Eastern ancestry, their primary genetic heritage is European, and they are not directly descended from the original Jewish populations in the Middle East. Evidence suggests that this founder event occurred in medieval Europe, with a small number of individuals contributing to the ancestry of most modern Ashkenazi Jews.
Key points about this finding:
European origin:
Genetic analysis shows that a majority of Ashkenazi Jews are genetically closer to European populations than Middle Eastern ones.
Founder effect:
This means that a small group of individuals founded the modern Ashkenazi Jewish population, leading to a limited genetic pool.
Bottleneck:
The term "bottleneck" refers to a sharp reduction in population size, which concentrates specific genetic traits within the resulting population.
Important considerations:
Sephardic Jews:
While Ashkenazi Jews have a predominantly European ancestry, other Jewish populations, like Sephardic Jews, have closer genetic ties to the Middle East.
Historical context:
The migration and settlement of Jews in Europe over centuries likely contributed to their genetic admixture with local European populations.
Ongoing research:
Further studies continue to refine our understanding of the complex genetic history of Ashkenazi Jews.
It is crucial to note that some sources, particularly those discussing the geographical and historical context of the Khazar Khaganate, may offer alternative perspectives on the origins of Ashkenazi Jews. These perspectives often emphasize the role of conversion to Judaism by Khazars and other European populations. However, the prevailing scientific consensus based on genetic analysis points to a predominant European origin for the majority of Ashkenazi Jews.
According to the ancient Hebrew Bible, "The Most High Yah" (referring to the divine name Yahweh) would be considered a Hebrew, not a Jew, because the term "Hebrew" predates the specific identity of "Jew" and refers to the descendants of Abraham, from which both the Israelites (later known as Jews) and other groups like the Edomites originated; essentially, "Hebrew" is a broader ancestral term encompassing the people from whom the Jewish people later emerged.
Key points to remember:
"Hebrew" as a broader term:
In the Bible, "Hebrew" refers to the descendants of Abraham, including the ancestors of both Israelites and other groups.
"Jew" as a later designation:
The term "Jew" specifically refers to the Israelites who descended from Judah, one of the tribes of Israel, and became more commonly used later in history.
Yahweh as the Hebrew God:
The name "Yahweh" (or "Yah") is considered the personal name of God in the Hebrew Bible, and is therefore associated with the Hebrew people as a whole.
Ashkenazi Jews ish converts claiming a connection to Isreal is false , that is why they banned DNA tests , they do not go by the word of YAH .
They bar up Isreal and create the term anti semitism they make it a violation of law to take DNA tests because they gonna get found out they are imposters. And have no rights to claim the land of Isreal.
They make being Jewish a religion , Hebrew is a culture , the most high was Hebrew not Jewish.. Ashkenazis are Nazi Khazars . When they get out on the spot to take DNA tests they scheme a way to manipulate the DNA test using rabbinical courts , and Rabbinical authorities.
Ashkenazi Jewish people often refer themselves as "Jew-ish" when someone wants to describe a person who is culturally Jewish but may not fully practice the religion, essentially meaning "like a Jew" and usually referring to someone with Ashkenazi ancestry, which is a Jewish group with roots in Central and Eastern Europe.
Key points about this:
"Jew-ish":
This term is used to describe someone who identifies with some aspects of Jewish culture or heritage but may not be strictly observant religiously.
Ashkenazi:
This refers to a specific Jewish population group whose ancestors lived in Central and Eastern Europe, often associated with Yiddish culture
scientific racism, set of falsified scientific or pseudoscientific hypotheses that seeks to explain and justify European colonial dominance, particularly in the 17th through early 20th century. Proponents of scientific racism believe that races—variable, socially constructed groupings of people based on certain phenotypical features—are immutable biological facts. They employed a variety of classification schemes to categorize different “races” and organized them hierarchically, with those of European descent at the top. Anthropological and genetic studies in the 20th century later debunked many of the claims of scientific racism.

Measuring race Scientists of the 18th and 19th centuries sought to categorize and measure different races. Measurements of the cranium were especially important in their now-debunked hierarchies of human groups.

The false assumptions of scientific racism
Scientific racism was founded on the erroneous assumption that the human species can be divided into distinct groups on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences. Because the field took this as its core belief, it did not (and could not) find any evidence that contradicted the existence of race as they understood it. Scientific racism therefore describes different “races” (whose definition vary based on the scholar and his—they were almost, if not entirely, all men—favored classification scheme) but cannot be used to determine the validity of the underlying notion that these groups exist as described. Race scientists also assumed that the features they studied and measured, such as facial morphology and cranium capacity, were determined only by genetics, rather than being impacted by environment.

The tendency to treat divisions of the human species as biologically determined can be seen in the use of metrical descriptions in scientific racism. While measuring the human body, particularly the head and, in the case of bones, skull, seemed objective and scientific, it fostered typological conceptions of human group differences. From massive quantitative data, experts computed averages, means, and standard deviations from which they developed statistical profiles of each racial population. These profiles were thought to represent the type characteristics of each race expressed in what seemed to be impeccable scientific language. When statistical profiles of one group were compared with those of others, one could theoretically determine the degree of their racial differences.
The activities of typologists carried a number of false assumptions about the physical characteristics of races. One was that statistical averages could accurately represent huge populations, when the averaging itself actually obliterated all the variability within those populations. This reliance on averages enabled scholars to describe discrete groups when, in actuality, there are far more differences within each of these groups than between them. Another false assumption was that racial characteristics did not change from one generation to another, meaning that average measurements such as body height would remain the same in subsequent generations despite any external factors, something that was proved incorrect by scholars in the 20th century.
Early science and race

Homo monstrosus
Examples of races of humans rumored to exist in early modern Europe from The Nuremberg Chronicle, published c. 1493. Such fanciful races fell under Linnaeus's category Homo monstrosus.
Scientific racism emerged during a key period in Europe and European colonial cultures. The concept of race gained significance as political and intellectual leaders sought to justify increasing European colonial dominance over different parts of the globe, especially the Americas, along with the transatlantic slave trade. The growth of notions of race and the superiority of Europeans, coupled with Enlightenment-era science’s preoccupation with categorization, led to different systems of racial division. A few intellectuals revived an older understanding of all living things, the scala naturae (Latin: “scale of nature”), or Great Chain of Being, to demonstrate that nature or God had made humanity unequal. This ancient hierarchical paradigm—encompassing all living creatures, starting with the simplest organisms and reaching to humans, angels, and ultimately to God—became for advocates of colonialism and slavery a perfect reflection of the realities of the inequality that they had created. The physical differences of Indigenous Americans and individuals of sub-Saharan African ancestry became the symbols or markers of their supposedly inferior status.

Abstract
Genomics research is regularly appropriated in social and political contexts to publicly legitimize unjust and malicious political views, policies, and actions. In recent years, there have been high-profile cases of mass shooters, public intellectuals, and political insiders using genomics findings to convince audiences that deadly force and coercive policies against racial minorities are warranted. To create a just genomics, geneticists must consider what makes their research so attractive and adaptable for the legitimization of unjust ends and what they can do to counter such appropriations. We offer insights and recommendations drawing from our research into the many ways online white nationalist and far-right political movements mobilize genetics research to promote their racist, sexist, antisemitic, and homophobic views. First, geneticists should identify and change routine research practices that feed eugenic thinking. Second, geneticists should adopt creative extra-scholarly communication efforts to counter the use of their field's research that occurs in nonscholarly spaces. Third, we identify permissive epistemological and professional practices within the genetics field that have enabled such unjust appropriations to thrive, and we recommend strategies for institutional reform.

Don't listen to this dude , he spreading disinformation , Ancient Isrealites descended from shem . ancient isrealites what this racist is spreading is FALSE ❌. ERRR WRONG .
Ancient African Isrealites descended from shem , whites Europeana descended from Japheth . He is the progenitor of the European race , and what he spreading is dangerous racist ideology.
This statement is correct; according to the Bible, Israelites are considered descendants of Shem, not Ham, and the association of Africans as solely "Hamites" is widely considered inaccurate and problematic, as it has been used historically to justify racist ideologies.
Explanation:
Biblical Genealogy:
In the Book of Genesis, the three sons of Noah are listed as Shem, Ham, and Japheth. While the "Curse of Ham" is sometimes interpreted as linking Ham's descendants to Africans, this interpretation is disputed and considered a tool of racial oppression.
"Hamitic" Theory:
The idea that all Africans are descendants of Ham, known as the "Hamitic theory," was popularized during the colonial era to categorize and differentiate African populations, often used to justify European dominance.
Modern Understanding:
Modern scholarship rejects the "Hamitic" theory, highlighting the vast diversity of African populations and acknowledging that the biblical narrative cannot be used to accurately map ethnicities across the continent.
Key points to remember:
Israelites, according to the Bible, are considered descendants of Shem.
Associating all Africans with Ham is considered inaccurate and harmful due to its historical use in racist justifications.
The diversity of African populations cannot be explained solely through the biblical lineage of Ham. But through the biblical lineage of Shem
The term " Hebrew" did not derive from "Eber". Eber as "crossing over"
Eber
This statement is correct; according to the Bible, while Hebrews are considered descendants of Shem through Eber, the term "Hebrew" itself does not directly translate to "Eber" in the ancient Hebrew language, and the root of the word "Hebrew" is believed to signify "crossing over" or "from the other side" rather than a direct translation of Eber's name.
Key points:
Shem's descendants:((Africans Americans "Lost Hebrew tribe of Isreal ".
Hebrews are considered descendants of Shem, one of Noah's sons, through the lineage of Eber.
Eber's meaning:
"Eber" is a name mentioned in the Bible, and while it is connected to the lineage of Hebrews, the word "Hebrew" itself does not directly translate to "Eber".
Linguistic interpretation:
The root of the Hebrew word for "Hebrew" is often interpreted to mean "crossing over" or "from the other side," which could relate to the migration of Abraham and his people across the Euphrates River.
Proven Facts about Ashkenazi Jews 👇
Ashkenaz is not an Israelite tribe, but rather a name that refers to a group of people and a country in the Hebrew Bible and in modern times:
In the Hebrew Bible
Ashkenaz is the name of Noah's descendant, Gomer's first son, and a Japhetic patriarch.
In rabbinic literature
The descendants of Ashkenaz were associated with the Scythians, then the Slavic territories, and later with Germany and northern Europe.
In modern times
The term Ashkenazi refers to a group of Jews who lived in the Rhineland valley and neighboring France before migrating eastward to Slavic lands after the Crusades.
Here's some more information about Ashkenazi Jews:
About 85% of the world's Jews are considered Ashkenazim.
In Israel, about 45% of the Jewish population is Ashkenazi.
Ashkenazi Jews have played a prominent role in Israel's economy, media, and politics. (Rothschild's)
The Ashkenazi Jewish population was decimated by the plague and violence in the 14th and 15th centuries.
Most of the 10 million Ashkenazi Jewish people living today are related to a few hundred “founding individuals”.
According to the Hebrew Bible, Ashkenaz is the son of Gomer, who is the son of Japheth, one of Noah's descendants:
Genesis 10:2, 3: Describes Japheth's son Gomer, and then Gomer's son Ashkenaz
Jeremiah 51:27: Prophesies that the Kingdom of Ashkenaz will be called upon to fight alongside Ararat and Minnai against Babylon
Ashkenaz is also a Japhetic patriarch in the Table of Nations. In rabbinic literature, Ashkenaz's descendants were first associated with the Scythians, then the Slavs, and eventually with Germany and northern Europe.
Today, about half of Jewish people around the world identify as Ashkenazi, meaning they are descended from Jews who lived in Central or Eastern Europe
Jew are Israelites and Israelites are Hebrew
This is short and beautiful.

I'll break it down because I am a Hebrew Israelite aka Jew by bloodline and Biblical prophecy…..HEBREW is the Ethnicity,….and the word Jew come from the Tribe of Judah the leader Tribe,….KJV….1 CHRONICLES 28:4, out of the 12 Tribes of Israel, the same tribe IMMANUEL HA'MACHIACH, who the Planet Ignorantly calls "Jesus Christ", comes from, go read,….KJV….HEBREW 7:14….its a ETHNIC-RELIGION and ✡️ JUDAISM is the True Ancient Religion, ALL other Religions take from, insert themselves and put their own spin on the HEBREW RELIGION,,,,….#1 TO be Hebrew is to be NEGRO or "Black") is the ESSENCE OF ELOHEM THE FATHER…so people who are not NEGRO ARE NOT ETHNICALLY HEBREWS or JEW but only CONVERTS TO THE RELIGION JUDAISM WHICH WHO (JEW"ISH") people are today…ABSOLUTELY NOT ETHNIC JEWS…..ALL THE 12 TRIBES ARE NOT JEWS ONLY THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM which make up the TRIBES, JUDAH, BENJAMIN, AND LEVI, the other 9 TRIBES are Hebrew Israelites not Jews but are considered GENTILES because they took on custom of the people ELOHEM put them into Slavery to and the FORGET WHO THEY WERE FOLLOWING OTHER NATIONS CUSTOMS, EXACTLY HIM US DESCENDANTS OF HEBREW SLAVES WHO WAS SLAVE TO AMERIKKKA.AND BUILT THE COUNTRY AND IT'S WEALTH FOR FREE, AND ARE NOW GOVERNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ESLAVED OUR ANCESTORS
..SO WITH THAT WE KNOW WE ARE IN FACT THE (SHEMITES-HEBREWS) AND NOT (HAMITES-AFRICANS) but we are both considered "Black people" it's that simple
