Judah was formed as one of the twelve tribes of Israel, traditionally traced back to Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. Following the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and their conquest of Canaan, the tribe of Judah settled in the southern part of the region, which eventually became known as the Kingdom of Judah. This area played a significant role in biblical history, particularly as the center of Jewish life, culture, and religion after the split of the united monarchy into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.

Was the nation of Judah real?

AnswerYes. Biblical tradition says that Judah was formed as a nation separate from Israel late in the tenth century BCE. In fact, Judah and Israel were probably always separate, and thus the sate of Judah may be somewhat older than the Bible tells. It continued, mainly under foreign domination, until the sixth century BCE, when Babylon overrran Judah and destroyed its capital, Jerusalem. Later, the Jews were allowed to return to Judah, which had come under Persian rule.During Roman times, the name was changed to Judea.

Is Judah in Israel?

The former kingdom of Judah is now part of modern Israel and partly in the Palestinian Territory. Judah was a small inland enclave surrounding the city of Jerusalem and quite separate from the kingdom of Israel to its north. Biblical tradition holds that in former times, Judah and Israel had formed a United Monarchy, also known as Israel, but noted archaeologists such as Israel Finkelstein say that this was never the case. Judah and Israel were always separate and had their own separate culture, pottery styles and even their own separate dialects of the Hebrew language.


When did the Jews come into existence?

A:Jews are notionally descendants ofthe tribe of Judah, which is traditionally believed to have formed from the descendants of Judah, who lived around 1800 BCE. It is historically true that the first Jews were of the tribe of Judah. However, modern historians say that they, and the other Hebrew tribes who inhabited the Canaanite hinterland from about 1250 onwards, were really Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities and settled in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. The evidence suggests that the tribe of Judah formed relatively late compared to the northern Israelite tribes, perhaps around 1100 BCE or even later.
