Acts 10:28 Meaning
#2
I doubt if there ever was an exact definition of Jehudean, or its corresponding Greek ιουδαῖος, but BDAG has some ideas:

1. pert. to being Judean (Jewish), with focus on adherence to Mosaic tradition [...]

Per Exodus 12:48,49  הגר ha Ger "resident alien" should have been included in this case.

The word translated "tribe" is ܫܪܒܬܗ  . Its Latin and Greek correspondents — genus, φυλη — have no matching word in English. There has been some controversy over East Orthodox bishop Pat. Bartholomeo using the word φυλη in his letters (written in Greek) as his backbiters translate it with "race" into English, so there might be something going on. Dukhrana.com also shows Murdock translating "race" in Acts 10:28. For the Greek word φυλη "people", "tribe", "nation" or "kind" might work.

To understand what "associate" means,    ܢܩܦ , it is the word used to describe what the "lost son" did when he got employed to watch swine in Luke 15:15.
