Strong's Lexicon Ioudaikos: Jewish Original Word: Ἰουδαϊκός Word Origin: Derived from Ἰουδαῖος (Ioudaios), meaning "Jew" or "Jewish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent would be יְהוּדִי (Yehudi), which also means "Jew" or "Jewish." This term is used throughout the Old Testament to describe the people of Judah or those who follow Jewish customs. Usage: The term "Ioudaikos" is used to describe something that pertains to the Jews or is characteristic of Jewish customs, traditions, or beliefs. It is an adjective that qualifies nouns to indicate their association with Jewish identity or practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first century, Jewish identity was deeply rooted in religious, cultural, and social practices that distinguished Jews from other groups. The Jewish people were known for their monotheistic faith, adherence to the Torah, and distinct customs such as dietary laws, Sabbath observance, and circumcision. The term "Ioudaikos" would have been used to describe anything related to these aspects of Jewish life. During this period, Jews lived under Roman rule, and their identity was both a source of pride and a point of tension with surrounding cultures.
