><>...Len...><> The word semite is originally from Shem Noah's son. And to comlpicate this issue further Noah was not a Jew. A Jew can only be a descendant of Judah the son of Jacob/Isreal, OR, a resident of Judea. Since Noah was neither of these, he nor anyone before him nor any of his sons can correctly be termed a Jew. Not even Abraham Isaac, or Jacob were Jews.... Judah was the 4th son of Jacob/Israel by his wife Leah. The sons of Judah(The origin of the word Jew) became known as Jews. It was of this tribe that David would come and then through him (Umbilical cord to umbilical cord) that our Messiah would eventually come. Abraham was first called an Hebrew because he was a descendant of Eber, and/or because he crossed the Euphrates river from Ur. Jacob/Israel had 11 other sons, together including Judah, they were known as Israelites....No relation at all to Jews. 5680 'Ibriy (ib-ree'); patronymic from 5677; an Eberite (i.e. Hebrew) or descendant of Eber: - Hebrew (-ess, woman). 3064 JEW.. Yehuwdiy (yeh-hoo-dee'); patronymically from 3063; a Jehudite one who live in the land of Judea (i.e. Judaite or Jew), or descendant of Jehudah (i.e. Judah): So as to your very good question about semite, that is where it came from....Shem, the son of Noah...who was not a Jew or from the lane of Judea....just another serious misnomer! Have a good day Shalom...><
