Joseph is called a Hebrew when in Egypt. Israelite more specifically refers to descendants of Jacob or Israel, the ancestor of the twelve tribes of Israel who later would be split between the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. It is important to note that Israelite is different from the current national demonym Israeli, indicating a person from the country of Israel.
Jew, lastly, refers to the people of Judah, and then after the Babylonian exile to Israelites more broadly due to cultural and religious importance of Judah. In general, Jew or Jewish person is used to refer to a person who practices Judaism or is part of the Jewish community. Due to its invective use by anti-semites, the word "Jew" by itself can sometimes sound harsh or rude, but there are many cases in which it's perfectly neutral and appropriate.
In the Tanakh, God is identified with the seven different names. Per tradition, these are to be treated with extreme reverence; you shouldn't erase or damage them when written down.
For that matter, despite our academic use of them here, you're not supposed to write them down too often either. The most significant name for God in the Tanakh is the Tetragrammaton, or the four letters. The four letters are transliterated as YHWH. Since you're not supposed to write the name down too often, it's common to change a letter in English this is often written as G-d or to space the letters, like Y-H-W-H.
Especially in Judaism, but in many Christian traditions as well, you are not supposed to pronounce the Tetragrammaton. No usefulness here. This book will be a very useful resource to find verses related to a particular topic. It is different than a concordance because the author determined whether the passage was dealing with the topic even if the topic word isn't directly used in the verse.
It does not claim to be exhaustive for every topic but the number of verses included for each topics or at least the ones I looked at so far is still impressive. Jun 19, Jason rated it liked it Shelves: concordance.
I've used it over the years as a useful tool to find themes in the Bible, and as one to introduce topics within for my children. Further topics and references for serious in- depth study, however, would have been more helpful, but this resource does the trick. May 26, Sean Jacobs rated it it was amazing.
It is difficult for me to ever give a five-star rating on a book. But, this book has been a great tool in my finding the meaning to many scriptures sited in my novel, Faith - Seventy Times Seven. I searched for topics on alcoholism, faith, forgiveness, divorce, abuse, abortion This is a great asset to keep on your desk each and every time you want to find a subject matter discussed in the Bible.
Good job Ken on your It is difficult for me to ever give a five-star rating on a book. Good job Ken on your writing! No Index. Impossible to navigate. The subject line says it all. I'll never know if this is a good digital book because I cannot possibly find specific topics without turning each page.
Maybe print versions would be better because you could fan through the pages. I have no studied comment on the content, because I could never find anything I searched for. Ek gebruik hierdie boek baie. Dit is 'n vinnige manier om naslaan werk in die Bybel te doen.
Ek gebruik dit selfs wanneer ek toesprake en opstelle skryf om passasies aan te haal om my standpunt te steun. Ek beveel dit vir enige iemand aan. This is an ultimate reference guide for all biblical purposes. I refer to it on a regular basis. Dec 18, Jenn rated it liked it. This is a great reference book.

Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemon ade booth set a new record.
The local paper, The Chronicle, s urveyed over patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Huma na hum bly puts it, "The books are all right here in plain view hidden from sight. This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat.
Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized.
