Ok, so i have this test in a religion class of mine, and on these study guides that my teacher gave me their are some terms that i have no idea about.

the term "El" and "Judah", now if im not mistaken i think judah was an original name of a town but i am not sure... some one please help!!

[The Ren]

Judah was the son of Jacob, who also formed his own tribe in the kingdom of isreal. There were 10 tribes in all

[1439/2000]

Judah is a tribe of Hebrews. 12 major tribes. Jesus came out of it. "Lion of the Tribe of Judah"

lol.. I could go on and on about judah (or Yahuda as the jews call him) thats one lession I do remember in hebrew school

[1439/2000]

Oh but I am.

Judah was one of the twelve sons of Jacob. Hence the name of one the tribes of Israel. It is also the name of an area of Isreal later in Scripture when there were two reigning powers. Jesus is of the tribe of Judah. He is called the "lion of the tribe of Judah".
So I guess it depends on the context of the question.

Yep! El is another name that is translated as "God" and can be used in conjunction with other words to designate various aspects of God's character.
