 Biblical Theology Bulletin: Isaiah 56:1-8 and the redefining of the restoration Judean community
It is argued that the exilic principles of community membership revolve around the issues of "purification" (in the exile) and the exclusion of outsiders who did not share this experience, and "loyalty," seen as endogamy and the reproduction and socialization of children to preserve the ethnic purity of the exilic community.
In drawing boundaries between themselves (as Judeans) and their unexiled ethnic kin (the "people of the land"), they (the Judeans) lumped the "people of the land" together with other ethnic groups of the region into the undifferentiated category of foreigner, i.e., illegitimate occupiers of the land.
The top level of the diagram indicates how the Judeans defined themselves over and against the "people of the land." Although both the Judeans and the "people of the land" were ethnically descended from pre-exilic Judeans, the Judeans experienced the exile, and the "people of the land" did not.

The Judeans were in a better position to construct a lineage, because most of the returnees were descendants of priestly families and the Judean aristocracy.
The differences between the Judeans and the "people of the land" (keeping in mind that the historical material available, Ezra/Nehemiah, was produced by the Judeans and thus reflects their perspective) are summarized in Table 1.
The control that the Judeans sought over the land was then extended politically and socially (in theory) to the "people of the land," who were to be subjected just as the Canaanites were during the conquest of Joshua in the mythic history of Israel.

 The Soreq Cave and the Judean Hills
The attraction is a breathtaking stalagmite and stalactite cave in the foothills of the Judean Mountains.
After doing so, you will no doubt come to the conclusion that the Judean hills are exquisite in their loveliness and need not take a back seat to any other area of the country, not even the Galilee, in terms of sheer beauty.
With steep ravines on one side of the road, the unlucky driver (unlucky for he cannot feast his eyes on the scenery while driving) must be extremely careful not to take his eyes off the road, lest a joyous jaunt turn into a terrible tragedy.

 Judean Commonwealth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Fatimid Egypt was happy to have a buffer zone against the Abbasids, and the Third Judean Commonwealth survived until it was overrun by the Crusaders.
The momentous results which followed from the reestablishment of the Judean Commonwealth are part of--and the largest part of--the world's history.
And all this came to pass owing to the hardihood of a handful of the earliest Zionists, who, availing themselves of the rights accorded them by Cyrus, the noble, chose to give up their peaceful and secure residence in Babylon in order to live and labor in Zion and rebuild its waste places.

 Introduction To The Story of the Judean Kings
Since one of our Bible study strategies is to look for duplication and second references, we can start with the position that the Judean king sequence is the one to be trusted.
The kings of Israel, recorded in Kings along with the kings of Judah, are the ones without seconds and thus cannot be trusted.

 Judea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Major cities in the region include Jerusalem, Beitar Illit, Bethlehem, Efrat, Gush Etzion, Jericho and Hebron.
Geographers divide Judea into several distinct regions: the Hebron hills, the Jerusalem saddle, the Bethel hills and the Judean desert east of Jerusalem, which descends in a series of steps to the Dead Sea.
In ancient times the hills were forested and the Bible records agriculture and sheep farming being practiced in the area.

The recent discovery of ancient papyrus scrolls, coins and arrowheads in Israel's Judean Desert represents the first finds related to a Stanford-supported cave survey that could yield even greater treasures, according to Amos Nur, the Wayne Loel Professor of Earth Sciences.
One of the scrolls is written in Greek, the international language of the period, and Frumkin said the document might contain economic or administrative information belonging to a person who sheltered in the cave hundreds of years ago.
Frumkin said the archeologists, who are trying to stay a step ahead of looters, need to raise additional funding to continue the excavations.

 Mason: What Josephus Says about the Essenes, part 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Judeans as a nation live philosophically, which is to say simply and virtuously, despising even death in their determination to follow their excellent laws.
Josephus's War attempts to show that, on the contrary, Judeans have an old and noble constitution, that their heroes once ruled a vigorous and independent state with divine aid, and that their most famous king (Herod) was a great friend and ally of Rome.
The Judeans are in fact the most pious of all peoples toward the Deity, and the most concerned about justice toward their fellows.

The finding has given rise to hope that the Judean Desert may yield more treasures, said Professor Chanan Eshel, an archaeologist from Tel Aviv's Bar Ilan University.
The two small pieces of brown animal skin, inscribed in Hebrew with verses from the Book of Leviticus, are from "refugee" caves in Nachal Arugot, a canyon near the Dead Sea where Jews hid from the Romans in the second century, Eshel said in an interview with The Associated Press.

 Mason: What Josephus Says about the Essenes, part 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This term comes up frequently in Josephus's exaltation of Judean culture in the final quarter of Against Apion: the Judean lawgiver was unique in his insistence upon the practical exercise of character alongside mere study (2.171, 173); one worships God by "exercising virtue" (2.192); Judeans have trained themselves in zeal for their laws (2.272).
He stresses that Essenes truly are representative of the best Judeans: they are not some small and isolated group, but their salutary presence is felt throughout Judean society.
One of his most pervasive themes, therefore, running from the beginning to the end of his corpus, is that the Judeans in fact cherish piety toward God and justice and philanthropy toward their neighbours--more than any other nation.

More than 1,000 ancient texts - known collectively as the Dead Sea Scrolls - were found from 1947 to 1956 in 11 caves near the western shores of the Dead Sea.
Eshel said he first was shown the fragments last year during a meeting in an abandoned police station.

However, for those painting the armies of the ancient Israelites, from Saul and David down to the unfortunate Zedekiah, there is a general dearth of information on the images used by the Judeans and Israelites.
The following table provides a sample of the most common images found on Judean seals of the 8th c.
Contrary to the imagery depicted in many Biblical movie epics the Star of David was unknown as an Israelite image during the Iron Age (1200-586 B.C.) and only crops up from the Hellenistic period and later.

 The Apostle Paul's Judean Trial: Felix is Replaced as Procurator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
According to Josephus, Felix was brought to Rome for trial, but escaped punishment because of the political influence of his brother Pallas.
According to the Roman historian Tacitus, Pallas was removed from power by the Emperor Nero in 55 AD, which would be the year before Paul’s Judean trial.
Some scholars argue that this means that Felix must have returned to Rome before his brother’s removal from office, which proves that Luke’s chronology of events is wrong.
