The daughter of Beeri, the Hittite and one of the first two wives of [[Esau]] (Genesis 26:34). She is elsewhere more correctly called AHOLIBAMAH, the daughter of [[Anah]] the [[Horite]] (Genesis 36:2-14). (See [[Esau]]). </p> <p> 2. The heroine of the apocryphal book which bears her name, who appears as an ideal type of piety (Judith 8:6), beauty (Judith 11:21), courage, and chastity (Judith 16:22 sq.). Her supposed descent from [[Simeon]] (Judith 9:2), and the manner in which she refers to his cruel deed (Genesis 34:25 sq.), mark the conception of the character, which evidently belongs to a period of stern and perilous conflict. The most unscrupulous daring (ch. 13) is combined with zealous ritualism (Judith 12:1 sq.), and faith is turned to action rather than to supplication (Judith 8:31 sq.). [[Clement]] of [[Rome]] (Ep. 1:55) assigns to [[Judith]] the epithet given to Jael'(Ι᾿οτδεὶθ ἡ μακαρία ); and [[Jerome]] sees in her exploit the image of the victory of the [[Church]] over the power of evil (Ep. 79:11, p. 508; Judith... in typo Ecclesiae diabolum capite truncavit; compare Ep. 22:21, p. 105). According to the [[Greek]] text, Judith was the rich widow of [[Manasses]] of Bethulia; to which the [[Vulgate]] adds that she was the daughter of Merari, or more properly Beari (בארי ), as the [[Hebrew]] recension has it; the latter also places her in the days of Maccabaeus, which is undoubtedly correct. (See [[Book Of Judith]]). </p> | ||
