The origin of the Jews is traditionally dated to around the second millennium BCE to the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Merneptah Stele, dated to 1200 BCE, is one of the earliest archaeological records of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, where Judaism, possibly the first monotheistic religion, developed over a period of thousands of years. According to Biblical accounts, the Jews enjoyed periods of self-determination first under the Biblical judges from Othniel Ben Kenaz through Samson, then circa 1000 BCE King David established Jerusalem as the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah, also known as the United Monarchy, and from there ruled the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Elaborated reconstruction of the Temple of Solomon, based on the Biblical description.In 970 BCE, David's son Solomon became king of Israel.[13] Within a decade, Solomon began to build the Holy Temple known as the First Temple. Upon Solomon's death (c. 930 BCE), the ten northern tribes split off to form the Kingdom of Israel. In 722 BCE the Assyrians conquered the Kingdom of Israel and exiled its Jews, starting a Jewish diaspora. At a time of limited mobility and travel, Jews became some of the first and most visible immigrants. The First Temple period ended around 586 BCE as the Babylonians conquered the Kingdom of Judah and destroyed the Jewish Temple. In 538 BCE, after fifty years of Babylonian captivity, Persian King Cyrus the Great permitted the Jews to return to rebuild Jerusalem and the holy temple. Construction of the Second Temple, was completed in 516 BCE during the reign of Darius the Great seventy years after the destruction of the First Temple.[14][15] When Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire, the Land of Israel fell under Hellenistic Greek control, eventually falling to the Ptolemaic dynasty who lost it to the Seleucids. The Seleucid attempt to recast Jerusalem as a Hellenized polis came to a head in 168 BCE with the successful Maccabean revolt of Mattathias the High Priest and his five sons against Antiochus Epiphanes, and their establishment of the Hasmonean Kingdom in 152 BCE with Jerusalem again as its capital.[16] The Hasmonean Kingdom lasted over one hundred years, but then as Rome became stronger it installed Herod as a Jewish client king. The Herodian Kingdom also lasted over a hundred years. Defeats by the Jews in the First revolt in 70 CE, the first of the Jewish-Roman Wars and the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE notably contributed to the numbers and geography of the diaspora, as significant numbers of the Jewish population of the Land of Israel were expelled and sold into slavery throughout the Roman Empire. Since then, Jews have lived in almost every country of the world, primarily in Europe, the greater Middle East, and North America. In the various countries in which they have lived, the Jews have survived discrimination, oppression, poverty, and even genocide (see: Antisemitism, The Holocaust). There have also been periods of cultural, economic, and individual prosperity in various locations (such as Islamic Spain and Portugal, Emancipating Germany and Poland, or the contemporary Liberal Democracies of the United States, Australia or United Kingdom). The Hebrew noun "Yehudi" (plural Yehudim) originally referred to the tribe of Judah.[17] Later, when the Northern Kingdom of Israel split from the Southern Kingdom of Israel, the Southern Kingdom of Israel began to refer to itself by the name of its predominant tribe, or as the Kingdom of Judah. The term originally referred to the people of the southern kingdom, although the term B'nei Yisrael (Israelites) was still used for both groups. After the Assyrians conquered the northern kingdom leaving the southern kingdom as the only Israelite state, the word Yehudim gradually came to refer to people of the Jewish faith as a whole, rather than those specifically from the tribe or Kingdom of Judah. The English word Jew is ultimately derived from Yehudi (see Etymology). Its first use in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) to refer to the Jewish people as a whole is in the Book of Esther. Etymology Main article: Etymology of the word Jew There are many different views as to the origin of the English language word Jew. The most common view is that the Middle English word Jew is from the Old French giu, earlier juieu, from the Latin iudeus from the Greek Ioudaios (Ἰουδαῖος). The Latin simply means Judaean, from the land of Judaea. Judaea is in turn derived from Judah which was the name of the Kingdom of Judah, and one of the Tribes of Israel. The Hebrew word for Jew, יהודי , is pronounced [jə·hu·ˈdiː]. The etymological equivalent is in use in other languages, e.g., "Jude" in German, "juif" in French, "jøde," in Danish, in Spanish (judío), etc., but derivations of the word "Hebrew" are also in use to describe a Jewish person, e.g., in Italian (Ebreo), and Russian: Еврей, (Yevrey). The German word "Jude" is pronounced [ˈjuː·də] and is the origin of the word Yiddish. (See Jewish ethnonyms for a full overview.) Who is a Jew? Main article: Who is a Jew? Judaism shares some of the characteristics of a nation, an ethnicity, a religion, and a culture, making the definition of who is a Jew vary slightly depending on whether a religious or national approach to identity is used.[18] Generally, in modern secular usage, Jews include three groups: people who were born to a Jewish family regardless of whether or not they follow the religion, those who have some Jewish ancestral background or lineage (sometimes including those who do not have strictly matrilineal descent), and people without any Jewish ancestral background or lineage who have formally converted to Judaism and therefore are followers of the religion.[19] At times conversion has accounted for a substantial part of Jewish population growth. In the first century of the Christian era, for example, the population more than doubled, from 4 to 8–10 million within the confines of the Roman Empire, in good part as a result of a wave of conversion.[20] Historical definitions of Jewish identity have traditionally been based on halakhic definitions During the Age of Enlightenment, significant changes occurred within the Jewish community. The Haskalah movement paralleled the wider Enlightenment, as Jews began in the 1700s to abandon their exclusiveness and acquiring the knowledge, manners, and aspirations of the wider European society. Secular and scientific education was added to the traditional religious instruction received by students, and interest in a national Jewish identity, including a revival in the study of Jewish history and Hebrew, started to grow.[98] The Haskalah movement influenced the birth of all the modern Jewish denominations, and planted the seeds of Zionism. At the same time, it contributed to encouraging cultural assimilation into the countries in which Jews resided, as well as the nineteenth century Reform movement in Judaism. At around the same time another movement was born, one preaching almost the opposite of Haskalah, Hasidic Judaism. Hasidic Judaism began in the 1700s by Israel ben Eliezer, the Baal Shem Tov, and quickly gained a following with its exuberant, mystical approach to religion. These two movements, and the traditional orthodox approach to Judaism from which they spring, formed the basis for the modern divisions within Jewish observance. At the same time, the outside world was changing. In 1791, France became the first European country to emancipate its Jewish population, granting them equal rights under the law.[99] Napoleon further spread emancipation, inviting Jews to leave the Jewish ghettos in Europe and seek refuge in the newly created tolerant political regimes (see Napoleon and the Jews). Other countries such as Denmark, England, and Sweden also adopted liberal policies toward Jews during the period of Enlightenment, with some resulting immigration. By the mid-19th century, almost all Western European countries had emancipated their Jewish populations, with the notable exception of the Papal States, but persecution continued in Eastern Europe including massive pogroms at the end of the 19th century and throughout the Pale of Settlement. The persistence of anti-semitism, both violently in the east and socially in the west, led to a number of Jewish political movements, culminating in Zionism. Zionism and emigration from Europe Poster from the Zionist Tarbut schools of Poland in the 1930s. Zionist parties were very active in Polish politics. In the 1922 Polish elections, Zionists held 24 seats of a total of 35 Jewish parliament members.Main article: Zionism Zionism is an international political movement that supports a homeland for the Jewish People in the Land of Israel. Although its origins are earlier, the movement was formally established by the Austrian88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 88888888888888

The 25th ismy birthday. also Halo 3's birthday. HAPPY FACE.

Are you guys changing the ranking system? I just wanted to say that its hard to rank up with the ranking system you have now. I had won many games in a row and still did not rank up.

I absolutely love it that you guys are busting down on betrayers and cheaters. I just finished a bunch of games where my own guys were shooting at me. Its extremely frustrating to play the game when your own teammates aren't. As I was being betrayed I was letting them kill me so I can boot them. But surprisingly the boot menu didn't come up. Why does it only come up sometimes? In BTB I was betrayed at least 5 times and it didn't come up once. The players that play to ruin it should be banned and I'm glad Bungie is coming up with something that does that. Thanks Bungie!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NickyOLas you have no rights play nice[/quote] Well if you have read ALL the terms and conditions of Xbox Live and Halo 3 - We, in a long winded way, do.

w8 is this banning going to be for people who have cheated in the past cuz thts gonna be at least have my friends list. i warned so many of them something like this was going to happen... and then, BLAM! they are gonna get banned

No I do not have a problem with that I do not have one problem with bungie even if they are going to try to destroy the world.Because bungie is awsome

why did achieving 7,777,777,777 campaign kills not get mentioned? it happened before the weekly update...

i have a question tho with the new acheivements added will we have to get the new achievments also for the katana and if we have the katana will we need to get the achievments again

Just read the gaming update on Xplay stating Bungie will be make an announcement next week in Europe regarding a new game they've been working on.

To tell you the truth this is the first time i've posted anything and I know im probley going to get banned from the forms on bungie.net but here it goes. BUNGIE SUCK'S BALLS ! Many things in halo 3 suck and are completley stupid : people (bungie) say's if you ask for recon you will never get it. WHO GIVES A -blam!- ! recon sucks, it looks ugly, the flames give the invis away and to many people want it for no reason. There's not even a reason why bugie has recon, if they wanted to have people reconize them then fine but with this recon -blam!- it brings on problems. With every person who has recon at least every week someone say " Ya well im gana hack you! " and don't say there's no such thing as hacking, if you have ever played halo for a while you've probley heard of the iNfaMoUs, tSgH or even ABH these are hacking clan's and they will hack you bungie/Microsoft can't do -blam!- to stop them and they know it ! THE LAG SUCK'S with every game theres at least 1 game where people lag switch, use bots, or just boost's people offline giving the booster's the unfair advantige. In halo 2 when the game get's a bad connection the game ! STOPS ! for everyone untill the lag is over, in halo 3 when people use bots it makes you lag and not them so they can move around with your flag as your in the black screen ! this is because when Bungie droped the contract with microsoft then they said that bungie can't use there internet connection anymore and then bungie decided to use cisco's internet witch SUCKS ! In the past mounths bungie's been coming out with double exp and new maps this is because people hate halo 3 and now bungie isent even coming out with a halo 4 another company is lol that's how bad Halo 3 is another company is coming out with halo 4 so you know what bungie you suck your game's suck and your -blam!- company sucks and I hope every -blam!- person who works at bungie should go kill themself's

I have a few questions about the Ultra Ban in particular. 1) Is it permanent? 2) Is it only going to apply to the people that cheat, or is it any kind of breach of the Code of Conduct? 3) I forget what number 3 was, but I'll tell you when I remember.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO TYPE THAT IN..........................Still you are very very wrong about the ranking system you have no idea of how it works.
