.,.,.,It is easy enough to find a map of ancient Israel. Actually several, depending on the time frame in question.So what is your point?
Judea or
Judæa (
/dʒuːˈdiː.ə/;
[1] from
Hebrew: יהודה,
Standard Yəhuda,
Tiberian Yəhûḏāh,
Greek: Ἰουδαία,
Ioudaía;
Latin:
Iūdaea,
Arabic: يهودا,
Yahudia) is the ancient
Hebrew and
Israelite biblical, the
exonymic Roman/English, and the modern-day name of the mountainous southern part of
Canaan-
Israel. The name originates from the
Hebrew name "Yehudah", a son of the Jewish patriarch Jacob/Israel, and Yehudah's progeny forming the biblical
Israelite tribe of Judah (Yehudah) and later the associated
Kingdom of Judah, which the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia dates from
934 until
586 BCE.
[2] The name of the region continued to be incorporated through the Babylonian conquest,
Persian,
Hellenistic, and
Roman periods as
Yehud,
Yehud Medinata,
Hasmonean Judea, and consequently
Herodian Judea and
Roman Judea, respectively.
As a consequence of the
Bar Kokhba revolt, in 135 CE the region was renamed and merged with
Roman Syria to form
Syria Palaestina by the victorious Roman Emperor
Hadrian. A large part of Judea was included in Jordanian
West Bank between 1948 and 1967 (i.e., the "West Bank" of the Kingdom of Jordan).
[3][4] The term
Judea as a geographical term was revived by the Israeli government in the 20th century as part of the Israeli administrative district name
Judea and Samaria Area for the territory generally referred to as the
West Bank.
