| Summary: | Pan-Israelite identity, i.e. a shared sense of belonging among Israelites and Judahites, is a time-honored problem on which considerable new light has been shed by recent studies. The present contribution seeks to broaden the biblical evidence.

Exploring two of its most salient features, it is argued that both the Judahite prophet addressing Israel and the Israelite tradition cherished in Judah are manifest reflections of pan-Israelite identity. |
