I get that. I also using Jew to describe the real jews not the Yiddish people. The word may be new but it's describing (partially) Edomites not yittish people, atleast in the context of the Bible.
To be absolutely precise, I'll return to my original premise and that is each time one reads in the bible the word Jew, it needs to be heavily weighed. The name "Jew" has been intermingled with the words 'Israelite', 'Judahite', 'Judean', 'pharisee', and 'Edomite' for over 400 years. Some times it refers to the Roman province of Judea, other times it refers more accurately to Edomites. Other times it references 'Israelites". It is critical for our understanding, no?
I would say many words are not precise in English and if you want precision you would need to read it in Latin not just jew. But yes I agree
Along with the etymological aspect of what I stated, let me turn to the archaeological aspect. Archaeologists classify the race of any historic culture by head shape. There are some other supporting metrics, but head shape and cranial capacity are primary determinants, because racially it is immutable and does not change.
The remains of ancient Israelites consistently show they were "long-headed" (dolichocephalic) with an average cranial capacity identical to that of northern Europeans. Jews today are predominantly brachiocephalic (round-headed) and having on average a smaller cranial mass of Sino-Asians (also brachiocephalic).
This fact alone tells us modern Jews are not ancient Israelites.
This is why is don't adhere to "jew" being those that many claim are jews. I am stealing the word from them and o lnly using it for biblical "jews"
