Original Note:
This post/thread, misrepresent the Biblical use of “Jew” as being coined in the 18th Century. Jews in 13th Century England were referred to as Judeans or Jeus (I/J) in legal documents, suggesting Jeu/Jew was in common parlance, which connects those Jews’ origin as Judea. https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/jews-in-england-1290/
