Semantic Rangeethnic Judeans, inhabitants of Judea, adherents of Judean identity or religion, Jews in a broader cultural-religious sense
Conceptual SignificanceDesignates covenantal and ethnic identity rooted in the tribe and territory of Judah; in the New Testament it can denote regional Judeans, the Jewish people as a whole, or specific Judean leadership groups, making context crucial for interpretation.
