This covers the Greek form of Judah used in the New Testament. Judah, son of Jacob and Leah, gave his name to the tribe from which both David and Jesus descended, and the genealogies of Matthew and Luke trace Jesus' ancestry through him; Hebrews notes that Jesus came from this tribe rather than the priestly line of Levi. Revelation draws on Jacob's blessing over Judah to call Jesus "the Lion of the tribe of Judah." The same Greek name also belongs to Jude, the writer of the short New Testament letter that opens by identifying himself as a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, a different man from the patriarch despite sharing the underlying name.
