Judith

In Genesis 26:34, Judith is the name of one of the two Hittite wives of Esau.

However, Judith is in fact a Hebrew name, the feminine form of Judah.


In the Apocrypha, the book of Judith is the story of a heroine of the same name.

Several versions of this book exist, one in Greek, one in Hebrew that is identical to the Greek, and a shorter Hebrew version which contradicts the longer version in many specific details of the story.
