Abraham had a grandson named Jacob, whose name was later changed to Israel. In 1948 the Jews, honoring their forefather, named their new nation Israel.
So, that means that when you read in the Bible about Israel, it’s talking about the Jews, right? Wrong! Israel had 12 sons, one of whom was named Judah, the father of the Jews—but the Jews were just one of 12 family members.
