Judah

Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all His people, the Lord his God be with him, let him go up.

And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen.

These are the names of the children of Israel, that went into Egypt with Jacob: they went in every man with his household: Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zabulon, and Benjamin, Dan, and Nephthali, Gad and Asher.

A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to live in the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons.

The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab and lived there.

She went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her. They went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem. Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the Lord will give you by this young woman."

On the 17th of Elul the Romans were removed from Judah and Jerusalem.

Judah went into exile because of suffering and great servitude; she settled among the nations and did not find rest; all of her pursuers overtook her between the borders.

Judah went into exile in pain and in great servitude; she sits between the peoples, finding no rest; all of her pursuers have cornered her.
