Yes, it’s a pretty recent word in English, but there are similar terms in other European languages that are older, and an approximately equivalent term (yehudi) that appears in the Biblical texts.

Oh, right. I forget sometimes. ;)

You seem to know your stuff on this; doesn’t “The Children of Israel (Jacob)” get the job done?

Thanks Pharmboy.
...a "bottleneck" of just 350 individuals, dating back to between 600 and 800 years ago...Researchers analyzed the genomes of 128 Ashkenazi Jews...
128 in the study? Gosh, what a surprising result. Also, the real bottleneck was in the 20th century, The Holocaust. One of the SS leaders said that Polish Jewry was the "genetic powerhouse" of European Jewry, and getting rid of it was the priority.

Yes, the word “Jew” was edited in, just like in the present 1769 King James revision we use today.

Wow, 350 people. Not long ago we had several threads like this.
'Four Mothers' For Europe's Jews - Free Republic
Everyone from 350 people (radical muslims would disagree on that characterization), but half of them from four women. After the Ashkenazi ban on polygamy. Everyone must have been very busy.

What about the First Holocaust starting at the Great Revolt through Bar Kokhba’s? That had to end whole bloodlines either by massacre or female slavery.

They lived in the medieval era, about 600 to 800 years ago, according to the analysis and numbered just 350 or so people.Jewish persecution during "the Crusades" was said to have begun around 1096 in and about the Rhineland, were these not Ashkenazis then or what am I missing?

Alibabbas Jack Ma is also a redhead... No, he has black hair. "Ma" means horse, but it is also how Hui (Chinese Han Muslims) shorten Mohammed. The Arabic name of the company and his last name is a dead giveaway. Jack Ma is ethnically a
Hui.

I read somewhere that every Jew now living, is a descendant of Judah, the son of Jacob (in Genesis). Is that true?

Not sure what you mean.
Jews are (mostly) endogamous, so there is an almost certainty that any identifiable Jew by birth today would carry DNA from Judah, and back to Abraham too.
If you mean only from the tribe of Judah, no.
