The tribe of Judah is now what you probably know as Jews. There are roughly 14 million Jews in the world, 6.5 million of which live in Israel, around 6 million across the US and the rest spread in communities mainly across Western Europe and North and South America.

What is the tribe of Judah?

The Tribe of Judah is a name of a people that followed after Judah the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. His name comes from the word "gratitude "because his mother had tried several times to win the love of her husband who was tricked into marrying her by her father leban. She gave birth to three other children before Judah and when she gave birth to him she named him Judah because this time was not connected to her relationship with her husband but her relationship with God. And so she named him meaning "this time I will praise the Lord" (Genesis 29:32-35)


How did Judah became the leader of Israelite?

Judah became a leader of the Israelites through his lineage as one of the twelve sons of Jacob, whose name was later changed to Israel. The prominence of his tribe increased after the Israelites settled in Canaan, especially when King David, from the tribe of Judah, united the tribes and established Jerusalem as the capital. This solidified Judah's position as a central figure in Israelite leadership, further enhanced by the prophetic promise that the Messiah would come from his lineage. Over time, Judah's tribe became the most influential, eventually leading to the establishment of the Kingdom of Judah.

DO the tribe of judah have blue eyes?

Even today, blue eyes are quite rare in the indigenous peoples of the Mediterranean region, and all of the Israelites, including the tribe of Judah, were clearly from that region. If we take the Biblical text at its word, we must assume that they were descended from the people of Aram (Arameans), and this suggests strongly that they resembled Syrians, Kurds and Iraquis. Even today, while you can find the occasional blue-eyed blond haired Ashkenazic Jew, most have dark wavy hair and tan easily when exposed to much sunlight.


Is it true that the tribe of Judah had mostly blue eyes and that Christ had them too?

No. Most Judeans had brown eyes and darker skin (like we see in Arabs today). It is highly unlikely that Jesus of Nazareth, if he lived, had a "European" coloration including blue eyes.

Are there any living relatives of the tribe of Judah?

For the last 2600 years (since the exile of the Ten Tribes by the Assyrians), the Tribe of Judah has comprised the majority of the Israelite people that remained. The Ten Tribes were lost. From that point forward, we have been called Jews, meaning Judahites; and the land was called Judea in Second Temple times.More about Judah:At first, Judah was the name of an individual; the fourth son of Jacob (Genesis ch.29). Later, Judah was the name of the Tribe which was made up of Judah's descendants.Jacob prophesied greatness for Judah's descendants (Genesis 49:8-10).Judah became the most numerous of the Tribes (Numbers ch.2 and ch.26).Judah became representative of leadership (Judges 1:2) and righteousness (Hosea 12:1 according to Rashi commentary). Though some committed idolatry, more of the people of Judah remained loyal to God, than did those of other Tribes.Judah provided the Davidic dynasty (Ruth 4:12-22), many of whom were righteous kings (1 Kings 3:3, 15:5, 15:11, 22:43; 2 Kings 12:3, 14:3, 15:3, 15:34, 18:3, and 22:2).Judah (and their neighbor, the small Tribe of Benjamin) remained loyal to the Temple in Jerusalem, unlike the northern Ten Tribes.Judah produced more than their share of Torah-scholars (Talmud, Yoma 26a).
