When was the term Jew, Judaism or Jewish used in the first 5 books of the Bible? These were Israelites not Jews.
I'm not sure, I'll have to do a bit of research. However Judaism is based on the Torah, which was given to all tribes. Maybe that the term was used beginning with Judah's blessing where he was given to hold the scepter of Israel for all eternity (just a guess).
