there were 12 tribes of israel from the 12 sons of jacob. only the tribe from jacobs son judah are jews (these were aka the judaites), the other 11 israel tribes are not jewish. noah (not jewish)----> abraham (not jewish)----> isaac (not jewish)----> jacob (not jewish)----> judah is from whom the jews descended and they lived in judea. none of the biblical people before judah are jews. it amazes me how many people do not know this.
