Alan, Jew. (latin. judaeaus) Originally a member of the state of Judah(2 Ki. 16:6; Ne. 1:2; Je. 32:12) and so used by foreigners from the 8th century BC onwards. Non-Jews used this term of the former inhabitants of the province of Judah as opposed to other nations in post-exile times (Est 9:15; Dn. 3:8; Zc, 8:23) or of proselytes to Judaism (Est. 8:17). "Jewess" occurs in 1Ch. 4:18; Acts 16:1; 24:24 and 'Jewish' in gal. 2.14 (Gk.) Tit. 1:14. The 'Jew's' language describes the local Semitic dialect spoken in Judah which, like 'Jew' (Je. 34:9), becomes synonymous with 'Hebrew'. AV 'Jewry' (Dn. 5:13; Lk. 23:5; Jn. 7:1) stands for Judah. In the NT, 'Jews' is used of members of the Jewish faith or their representative leaders (especially Jn.), but in modern times, and especially in the state of Israel, this is sometimes extended to denote ethnic birth but not necessarily religion. Its precise connotation is therefore now often a matter of debate. -New Bible Dictionary, Tindale I still wait for your answer. -Chris
