	Judah (Biblical figure) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Judah's name is interpreted as a combination of "Yhwh" (given as a reward for his public confession, Gen. xxxviii.
		Judah atoned for that fault by confessing that it was he who had given Tamar the pledge; and he was rewarded for that confession by a share in the future world (Soṭah 7b).
		This distinction was given to the tribe of Judah as a reward for its zeal in glorifying God at the passage of the Red Sea.

	SAMSON (BIBLICAL FIGURE) - LoveToKnow Article on SAMSON (BIBLICAL FIGURE)
		(D. SAMUEL, a prominent figure in Old Testament history, was born at Ramah and was dedicated to the service of Yahweh at the sanctuary of Shiloh where his youth was spent with Eli (q.v.).1 Here he announced the impending fate of the priesthood and gained reputation throughout Israel as a prophet.
		That these two accounts are absolutely contradictory is now generally recognized by Biblical scholars, and it is to the former (and later) of them that the simple story of Samuel's youth at Shiloh will belong.
		While the figure of Samuel grows in grandeur, the disastrous fate of Saul invited explanation, which is found in his previous acts of disobedience (i Sam.

		After his older brother Er (biblical figure)Er died Onan was to marry Er's widow Tamar (biblical figure)Tamar (this was the practice of levirate marriage).
		Most modern Biblical scholars, however, say that Onan's sin was to violate the rules of levirate marriage, the Biblical law which states that a childless widow must marry her late husband's brother.
		It is possible to reconcile the two readings by holding that the biblical writer thought that the act of coitus interruptus was wrong and the goal of violation of the levirate law was also wrong.

		Biblical scholars generally interpret it to mean the period that culminates in the successful rebellion of the Maccabees.
		In earlier biblical passages-for instance, Jacob’s nocturnal wrestling match (32:24ff)—it isn’t clear whether angels are discrete beings or manifestations of God’s power.
		Biblical numbers are often not intended to be precise—forty is often used to mean “a long time,” as in forty days and nights of Noah’s rain, forty years for Moses in the wilderness, or forty years of David and Solomon’s reigns.

		When Judah marries the daughters of a strange god, Judah is betraying her own identity, destroying her place as a peculiar people to the Lord.
		If the fact that Judah marries the daughter of a foreign god betrays Judah's identity and betrays Judah's community, it is clear that it is also betraying Judah's God.
		"Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem." This is a very strong term that identifies something as highly detestable in the eyes of the Lord, reserved for the most serious sins.

		The Jews of Judah never believed that the Samaritans (which is what the people of the former Israel came to be called) were really Jewish, which is the point of the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke (10:33).
		Judah experiences one more religious revival before their time runs out and they are conquered.

	Creating Biblical Figures - By Thomas L. Thompson
		In the biblical use of this tradition, metaphorical continuity with ancient Near Eastern texts is so marked that one can well identify Thutmosis III as a clear predecessor of the saving messianic role of the Bible’s holy war narratives.
		In the closing chapter of this section, I reconsider the theme of life’s victory over death through the perspective of the related themes of "new wine" and "blood of the covenant," as each is intimately connected to the fertility myth of the dying and rising god, from Tammuz and Ba’al to Dionysus.
		After examining the figures of prophets and kings in the long narrative about David and his sons as part of a never-ending story of failure, I briefly sketch the integration of the David story with the figure of the messiah in the Psalter.

		So, in conclusion, biblical prophecy reveals beyond any shadow of doubt that in the latter days, the tribe of Judah will be a young nation exhibiting military prowess, and that it will be located along the Eastern Mediterranean seacoast and the city of Ashkelon will be within its borders.
		Judah, the house of David, "the inhabitants of Jerusalem," and the Levites (all these groups are part of the house of Judah) are astounded and dismayed at the identity of their Messiah!
		Genesis 49:8-9 states Judah's "hand shall be in the neck of thy enemies," and refers to Judah "as a lion going up from the prey." This prophecy foretells that Judah will be an aggressive nation and victorious in warfare during the latter days, conquering its enemies like a lion brings down its prey.

		Whatever the exact figure, only a proportion of the population was directly affected.
		While it was the deportation of Judah's leaders which marked the Old Testament texts most, when Amos speaks of exile it is deportation from the North by Assyria of which he warns.

		One of the problems in Judah concerns Queen Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel.

		Back in Judah, Jezebel's daughter Athaliah heard about the death of her brother, mother, and son at the hands of King Jehu of Israel, and she then performed a sickening deed in a fashion that would have made her mother proud.

	Introduction to Biblical Archaeology 5
		Initially, archaeologists and biblical scholars largely assumed that the history of biblical beliefs was accurate, recalling the optimism of W.F. Albright, or else that there was insufficient information to challenge the biblical account.
		This view coincides with Karl Jaspers' "Axial Age", wherein revolutionary new understandings of the universe began to emerge.[5] The exile would have caused a move from identity based on territorial ownership to one of unique belief and practice, that would later prove to be an enduring cultural safeguard against the aliens around them.
		If this is so, then a seventh century medallion depicting a figure praying to a goddess on a lion may refer to Asherah, and associate her with the lion.

	Rabbi Judah's Troublesome Wedding Guest
		Apart from his impeccable scholarly credentials as the renowned compiler of the Mishnah, Rabbi Judah was also a public figure, who held the highest political office in the Jewish community, as the head of the Jewish supreme court and the chief representative of world Jewry before the Roman imperial authorities.
		Initially, he had extolled Rabbi Judah by comparing him with lesser mortals, who must claim their rewards either in this world (as is usually the case with the wicked) or in the next world (like most of the righteous).
		Rabbi Judah did not enjoy laughing, and he was convinced that his lapses into levity would have dire consequences.Once he offered to pay Bar Kappara forty se-ahs of wheat if he would only restrain his jesting.
