Israelites identifies people addressed or described as Israel, including speakers who identify themselves within that people.

The term identifies people as Israel and is used both to address a gathered audience and to designate individuals or a group. In the address clauses of Acts, the plural vocative calls hearers to listen, seek help, consider action, or respond to Peter; in nominative clauses it describes Nathanael, Paul, and a group associated with stated privileges.

   The plural vocative addresses hearers directly in Acts 13:16, Acts 2:22, Acts 3:12, Acts 5:35, and Acts 21:28; the APB renders these calls as “Men, Israelites” or “Men of Israel.” The nominative singular identifies Nathanael in John 1:47 and Paul in Romans 11:1, while the nominative plural in Romans 9:4 introduces a group whose adoption, glory, covenants, law, worship, and promises are then listed.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the nominative forms as “Israelite” or “Israelites,” while the vocative plural is commonly presented in address clauses as “Men of Israel.” These are renderings of the surrounding clauses rather than precise token-by-token equivalents.
