Usage
The term "Hellenist" refers to a Jew who adopted the Greek language and, to some extent, Greek customs and culture. In the New Testament, it specifically denotes Greek-speaking Jews, particularly those who lived outside of Israel in the Diaspora. These individuals were distinct from the Hebraic Jews who spoke Aramaic or Hebrew and adhered more strictly to traditional Jewish customs.
