Language is strange, isn't it?

At the end of a word "ISH" can mean "a little" or "resembling" or "from a country or group."

Like the words "smallish" meaning "not as big as" and "waspish" meaning "like a wasp" or "Spanish" meaning "from Spain."

As others have pointed out, "Jewish" is used to describe someone or something related to Judaism, either the religion or ethnic origin.

Answer 8

VERY NAUGHTY FIGS

Jew in the Hebrew (yehudiy) means “of the tribe of Judah”.
Jew in the Greek (Ioudaios) means “of the tribe of Judah or a resident of Judea”.
Judah is only one tribe of Israel (Jacob).

During and after the Babylonian captivity, many infiltrated the Levitical priesthood or said they were of Judah. Ezra on the trip back to Jerusalem wrote.

NONE OF THE SONS OF LEVI

Ezra 8:15 And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.

This is also illustrated in the parable, the two baskets of figs (Jer.24:1-10). One basket of good figs and one basket of naughty figs. So by the time Christ came along things were very rotten.

PLAY ACTORS

Matt.23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to His disciples, Matt.23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

The scribes and Pharisees sit in authority, they have taken over. Then Christ tells them to observe (inwardly), for they say and do not. Later Christ calls them hypocrites.

Matt.23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

In the Greek (hupokrites) means “an actor, stage player”. They are playing a role.

So many Biblically illiterates slander Judah, when it was the basket of naughty figs.

In Revelation Christ tells the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia.

WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS

Rev.2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Rev.3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
