Take the case of the Israelites, for example; they are also called Jewish and Hebrew. “Jewish” is the word used to refer to everything that relates to the culture and religion of the Jews. It includes their nationality, ethnicity, religion, and traditions. The State of Israel is established as a Jewish nation whose people are descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The word “Jew” from which the word “Jewish” is derived, comes from the Middle English word “gyw” which in turn came from the French word “giu” or “juieu.” They all stemmed from the Latin word “Judaeus” meaning “Judean” or “from the land of Judea.” The origin of the word, however, was the Aramaic “Y’huddai” from the Hebrew word “Yehudi” which is the term used to refer to a member of the tribe of Judah, the fourth son of Jacob. The word “Hebrew,” on the other hand, is used to refer to a descendant of Abraham or an Israelite. It is also used to refer to their cultural and religious ties and those who have converted to Judaism. It is more often used to refer to the ancient Canaanite language of the Israelites, though. It is the official language of the State of Israel but is also used by Samaritans and other non-Jewish groups. There are many forms of the Hebrew language: one is classical Hebrew which is used for prayer and study; and the other one is modern Hebrew which is spoken by most of the Jewish people and the official language of Israel. The word “Hebrew” comes from the Middle English word “Ebreu” which comes from Old French derived from the Latin word “Hebraeus.” They all came from the Aramaic word “Ebrai” and the Hebrew word “‘ibri” which was one of the names used to refer to the Jewish people from “‘eber,” an ancestor of Abraham. It was the term used to refer to the Israelites before the conquest of Canaan after which they were known as Israelites. Although the word “Hebrew” is still used today to refer to the Israelites, it is used to refer to those who use the Hebrew language. Summary: 1.“Jewish” is a word used to refer to everything that relates to the culture and religion of the Jews while “Hebrew” is also used to refer to the Jewish people or the Israelites but is also the name for their language. 2.“Jewish” has a more religious connotation while “Hebrew” does not. 3.Today, Israelites are more often referred to as Jewish rather than Hebrews which was the term used before the conquest of Canaan. 4.The word “Jewish” comes from the word “Jew” which comes from the Latin word “Judaeus” meaning “from the land of Judea”; also from the Hebrew word “Yehudi” which is the term used to refer to a member of the tribe of Judah, the fourth son of Jacob while the word “Hebrew” comes from the Latin word “Hebraeus” and the Hebrew word “‘ibri” which was derived from “‘eber,” an ancestor of Abraham.

Jews are a mix of nations that were placed in the land of the children of Israel when they were exiled. You will find this in the bible in 2nd Kings ch.17 versus 22-30. So no, Hebrews and Jews are not the same people no matter what the world say or think. The real Hebrew Isreal are the inhertors of the covenant that the jews and all other nations can be apart of by keeping Yahweh’s decree’s and statute’s. By doing so they become heirs and joint-heirs but must come throuh the real Israel whom by the grace of Yahwew their remains at this present time a remnant, Romans 11 verse 5.Hallelu-Yah Reply Floyd Finley June 26, 2016 • 3:36 pm Shalom thanks for the tip Reply Brenda D. Highten July 2, 2016 • 1:59 pm Hebrews are of the TRUE ancient bloodline of the Biblical Hebrews. Deut. 28 tell you who the true Hebrews (Israelites) are. Jews (Ashkenazi & Sephardic) in the land of Israel are of the seed of Yepheth. READ Gen. 10. They are spoken of in Rev.2:9 & Rev.3:9. True Israelites were NEVER called Jews. Jews (ESAU/ EDOM) over ran MANY European countries and blended in with them to keep their identity hidden. They are the ONLY nation of people The Most High, promised complete and utter destruction you their ENTIRE SEED. (Read Malichi). Reply Adrian November 21, 2017 • 5:19 pm Thank you Achwath. Shalom Reply Ralph December 9, 2017 • 1:27 pm So now I just want to understand why was Yashiya Christ called a jew by the Samaritan woman in John 4 Reply Jeremy Ridgell January 13, 2018 • 9:54 pm Actually, Jews are the descendants of Judah (which includes Benjamin) the merged kingdom of the South. The other 10 tribes (Levi excluded) formed the North Kingdom of Israel. All Jews are Israelite’s, but all Israelite’s are not Jews Reply Mark January 29, 2018 • 7:49 pm True. Reply Tyrone March 15, 2021 • 8:54 am I like most of the facts in this website and i also like all of the comments but i have a question, where is Mario Judah? Reply S Clifton May 20, 2018 • 4:03 am Amen to that! And another problem is, why would a hebrew live in cains land?, well thet wouldnt, when they converted they read our holy scripts and penned themselves in, it speaks of the false scribes. People see the discrepency and use it to deny God, when in fact there is a false god and the true God in the OT, The jews are the caanites and the white race are hebrew, look up old names of Ireland. And its same in NT, You have the true Christ then theres Paul. Our God doesnt ask for blood sacrifice only the blood thirsty caanite god does. Jesus came to give you the truth and faith and the jews murdered him and sacrificed him to there god and thats the truth. Reply edward ryder August 14, 2018 • 11:29 am All I can say is Amen. My personal study as a dispensational Christian led me to your comments. I also recognize the position of the Apostle Paul formerly known as Saul and his election by Messiah as the Apostle of the Gentiles. To fulfill the promise made by elohim to Abraham that through his seed, all nations of the earth would be blessed. Reply Ruben Yeshai January 31, 2022 • 10:15 pm Amen hebrews are the true sons of abraham and desendents of the true nation of God… those that are called by my name… Elohim Elah is melech hakavod and he will save the hebrew nation as it is written and give them a new heart and pour out his ruach hakodesh upon them and show them his Yeshua… baruch hashem YHVH YESHUA GADOL ELOHAIM MELECH HA OLAM….jews are different from hebrews. Reply Lewis July 23, 2016 • 11:23 am Wow! Thank you Reply Tony July 24, 2017 • 3:39 am Do you know if the roma (gypsy) people have any ties to hebrew or Jewish people we have very similar traditions has they do and we was always percucited with the Jewish people??? Reply Ruben January 31, 2022 • 10:16 pm They are in part but not in whole part of the tribes but not as a whole they are mixed. Reply Adrian November 21, 2017 • 5:18 pm You are wrong. Period Reply Mary Cox Shaver February 4, 2022 • 3:17 pm Thank you for the clarifications. Reply Rose M. Faciane January 30, 2015 • 2:21 pm Since there is a flood of hatred toward Yahweh’s chosen, why do His people use the transliterations and translations that put twist and turns that cause His people to compromise and take part in with those who hate His people! Why have they veered so far away as to accept the translations and transliterations as their own. The word came to them first and then to the nations. Per example, if Jacob’s name is Ya’avco then why not use it? It seems that the hatred for G-d’s chosen is so deep that the Catholic denomination decided to erdicate everything that means everything, that was holy and divinely given. Yahshua is the name the angel gave to Miriam (not Mary), but Miriam and not Jesus (what I read was created by Catholic monks). And His people know this, but seemingly go along with it just to keep everyone happy. Shouldn’t we keep the original alive? The Jew against the Hebrew (makes no sense), yet it exist. Notwithstanding they too are derivatives in of themselves. There’s enough who are against the people of Adonai wouldn’t you think, but to have His people against His own people is ludicrous, and it goes as far back when Lot decides to go leave with the Sodomics and perplex himself with their customs. They changed even the name of Yahshuah to Yahshua, Yeshua and then Jesus. Which is it? I need to know. I’m looking for a Bible that keeps to the context with keeping names the same as were given at birth for the Hebrews, who are the true descendants of Avraham. If you change one letter to a word, the word takes on a different meaning, so why change the letter to a name (unless one knows it has the same affect to gain the kind of effect we see in the adding to and taking from the Bible as what’s happened over and throughout centuries). You can see the hand of the enemy in all of this, which I would think since others see it too, (especially Yahweh very own); who for thousands of years through all manner of persecution and shading of blood would know best, and reframe from succumbing to the radicals and be the people Yah Elohim chose and called them to be. They are a unique people, set a part people, and should take their place among the nations as they are royality and created into His own image; unlike others. They are meant to lead not follow the dictates of evil and wicked men dressed in simulation of who they are. No other human beings have seen, tasted the goodness of Elohim as you have, and nor experienced what you have (in that He gave Torah to you); (and that the Word, known as the Bible; this most historical book is about the love Yah has shown toward His people; known as His elect) and from you lineage came the Hamshiach, blessed be His name. You are the descendants of Avraham. Take your place… Reply Prosper Kailembo January 27, 2016 • 5:40 am Since we can see there is Avraham descendants, why only Israelites are meant to be Avraham descendants, what about Ketura six children,Ishmael descendants and Hesau descendant ? Reply Thomas Henderson December 20, 2017 • 4:59 am I think we keep forgetting that Ishmael was not the chosen son. Reply Jeremy Ridgell January 13, 2018 • 9:56 pm Hollywood Henderson Reply Jennifer July 16, 2016 • 10:56 pm Amen! I believe! I feel cheated that others chose what We would learn. One of my biggest concerns that led me here is that I truly believe God wishes to keep the SEVENTH day holy as he commanded. And yet with the resurection of Christ on a Sunday, man changed it. But Christ himself spoke of the seventh day as the Sabbath Day. I feel in my heart Christ would not have wanted us to go against his Father’s commandment on His behalf! and when we go to church on the sabbath day (or man-converted Sunday sabbath) are we not requiring the priest/preacher/rabbi to work instead of resting, himself? Reply Carol May 7, 2017 • 5:02 pm Jennifer, The Son, Yahshua/Jesus, kept ALL of the commandments, including the 10 Commandments, and He taught others, as did His Apostles, to keep all of the commandments. Our salvation is through the volunteered sacrifice and shedding of the blood of Yahshua, the only Son of Yahweh, the Creator/Father. We are taught in the Old Testament, the Torah, and in the New Testament that we are STILL to obey and follow the commandment because we love Him and want to please Him. We have never been told, by scripture, that we are to discontinue following His the Law/commandments. Please go online to see 119 Ministries free video teachings. They will help resolve confusion about this as well as about other questions you have regarding scriptural teachings and understanding. There is a multi-series video teaching titled The Pauline Paradox on their site that is most informative, as well as other videos that explain what day is the Sabbath and how we know, and so on. We can worship Him any day of the week, but we are to keep the 7th day holy, rest, do not cause others or even our animals to work. Per scripture, a day ends at sunset, not by clock time. So, the Sabbath, Shabbot, is to observed from Friday sunset through Saturday night sunset. Beware that many people including religious teachers add to or take away from scripture. This is why it is up to you to seek out His Truth according to scripture teachings. Read all in context, read the entire chapter, NOT just one verse, which will help you a lot. Beware of customs and traditions that man has added and are often presented as scriptural and commandments/Law, but go straight to scripture to weed out the man added to, or man taken away Laws from scriptural Truths. Do. It be deceived or manipulated! The evil one would have you feel confused, if you are confused seek alignment with scripture, not with man. Shalom! Reply Angel Karing December 12, 2017 • 12:22 am Truth! You won’t find any of this in mainstream Christianity. All the truth you need is in the Bible. Read it slowly and ask Yahweh to lift the veil off your eyes. He will Reply Kariem Latif February 19, 2018 • 6:35 am Can anyone explain to me How The JEWS/ HEBREW/ CHOSEN PEOPLE OF GOD LOOK SO DIFFERENT TODAY. HOW DID THE FACE OF ISRAEL CHANGE? Historically, Geographically, Biblically? We KNOW that moses was GOD Chosen! We know that PHAROAH OF EGYPT raised him as his own son! #TRUTH THEY HAD TO LOOK ALIKE IN COMPLETION, FACE, SIMILAR! TODAY FACE OF THE JEW IS COMPLETLY DIFFERENT’ HOW? WE KNOW JESUS WAS A JEW, AND HE WAS RAISED IN AFRICA AS A CHILD, EGYPT TO BLEND IN WITH THOSE PEOPLE? Ton January 30, 2022 • 4:52 pm Facts! Mary Cox Shaver February 4, 2022 • 3:27 pm Thank you for your greatly informative comment. Reply Jasmine Real January 1, 2022 • 12:40 pm The sabbath is a Saturday, take your rest on this day. Reply Allinarush October 7, 2016 • 2:31 am Jesus said I could turn anyone of these stones into the sons of Abraham, but if you were a son of Abraham you would do the works of Abraham. Reply J. Parker September 22, 2017 • 7:49 am Very well stated, your clarification makes a valid point. There has been centuries of confusion caused by Greek, Roman and English translations of the true names and places in the bible, therefore causing doubt as to it’s authenticity. Hebrews became Jews and the dark ages reintroduced. Thank you. Reply Dennis Taylor November 26, 2017 • 8:35 pm You said a lot of things that made sense, then I realized as I continue to read you was referring to the people who currently resides in Israel…that’s when you lost me. Those people who called themselves Jews, have no blood or spiritual connect to the land of Israel. In Deuteronomy chapter 28, you’ll find where YAH said when he ejects his true people from the land…THEY WILL NOT SEE IT AGAIN. these people are fakes, stole the name and heritage of the scattered people of YAH. The people over in the land calling themselves Jews are (7th century) converts, they are people of europe, Khazaria is where their lineage can be traced back to….even Hitler knew this, check out the Time Life 1945 edition titled The NAZI. Yahusha (Jesus) knew they were fakes, he called them the synagogue of satan Rev 2:9 / 3:9. If you want to know where a portion of YAH’s chosen people are…they live in the US….let me give you a hint Deuteronomy 28:68. Reply Debra A March 20, 2022 • 12:51 am I agree with u Abt the things u said. It’s truly sad that these so called religion don’t tell the truth.The Catholics did admit that they took the true name of Yahweh and his son’s as well as all the the disciples names out of the Holy Bibles. It’s also disturbing to know that these so called preachers r misguiding society and teaching them the wrong things and no one stands up for the truth. But Yahweh did say it in his holy word. It’s also ashame that Lucifer won’t repent for his sin neither. I find it ludicrous that the general public these so called Christians that claim to b living a supposedly selfless life don’t know the true Sabbath day nor do they celebrate Yahweh’festivals. But they say they r real Christians if that what Christians r like I really don’t want nor do I claim to b a Christian even though I was baptized as a Christian I denounce it I didn’t know the truth at that time. But Yah did say n his word that his children would know his real name and that his name would stand through all eternity forever and ever. He also said that if and when we denounce evil and wickedness we would b hated by our families, friends associates,etc. And I find that to be true. Thank u Reply April January 7, 2016 • 2:44 am What is the difference between the last names Oachs and Harroun but both of these names are known to speak Hebrew? Wouldn’t that make them both Hebrew? Reply nautilus April 12, 2016 • 9:28 pm Top Israeli scientist says Ashkenazi Jews came from Khazaria, not Palestine. An Israeli geneticist challenges the “Zionist” hypothesis that all Jews belong to one race and are intimately related, thus giving them a common ancestor in the Holy Land and a Biblical claim to Palestine. Scientists usually don’t call each other “liars” and “frauds.” But that’s how Johns Hopkins University post-doctoral researcher Eran Elhaik describes a group of widely respected geneticists, including Harry Ostrer, professor of pathology and genetics at Yeshiva University’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine The debate touches upon such sensitive issues as whether the Jewish people is a race or a religion, and whether Jews or Palestinians are descended from the original inhabitants of what is now the State of Israel.
