Judean
From southern Israel
Judean refers to the ancient region of Judea, the southern part of historic Palestine centered on Jerusalem.
As a noun, a Judean is a person from this region—essentially synonymous with Jew in ancient contexts: The Judean exiles returned from Babylon.
The term appears primarily in biblical and historical discussions: Judean society under Roman rule.
