israelite

Die woord "Israeliet" is 'n selfstandige naamwoord wat verwys na 'n lid van die antieke Hebreeuse volk of die Joodse volk, wat afstammelinge is van Jakob (Israel) en sy twaalf seuns. In Bybelse tye was Israeliete die mense wat in die land Israel gewoon het, en hulle het die godsdiens van Judaïsme beoefen. Vandag word die term "Israeliet" soms gebruik om na Joodse mense of na die mense van hedendaagse Israel te verwys.
