Adjective edit
Judaic (not comparable)
- Pertaining to the Jews, their culture or their religion.
- 2007, John Peterman, On Ancient Philosophy:
- The gods' begettings in the Theogony are reminiscent of the biblical human begettings in the Old Testament and emphasize their being in nature, unlike the Judaic God outside of it.
