13. The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel (Jewish History Lab) 

This guy is a fantastic teacher! Ive been binge watching his lectures for over a week :)

Professor Abramson's explanation of the scriptures is superb.

This is one of those amazing talks that keep flooding your mind with more and more information.

I came across this while researching about the sons of Joseph's, specially because Jacob blessed Ephraim and said in effect "that a group of nations would come from him" (I paraphrase). So off course I came, as before, across all these videos on the "10 lost tribes of Israel" and find most, far fetched. I found yours to be the most sensible and factual and have now subscribed to your channel to, hopefully learn more, about the tribe of Ephraim. I have researched the Samaritans last year and so will now listen to your video as well on that. Thank you for your seemingly grounded information. I am a Christian who love the Bible, especially the OT books as I believe that the God if Abraham, Isaac and Jacob cannot be understood and obeyed without studying the books of Moses and the prophets. I love the Jewish people and respect their traditions. I keep Shabbat. But I will not claim I am a Jew or a descendent from the "lost tribes".

If I’m understanding the professor here I think he’s saying that a lot of the people euphemistically referred to as the 10 tribes simply mailed it in with other peoples in the area or farther out. The only part that I don’t get it makes no sense to me is that I don’t see how a person from the Middle East can be Caucasian and claim to be from one of the 12 tribes.

Fantastic lecture. Thank you.

You continue to enlighten me with your 360• view of the history and impact of the “children of Israel” ... as one of many movements of people and ideas. The depth of your knowledge (both history and Tanach), and especially your humility, have made you perhaps my strongest link to Judaism. Thanks again.

This Video is the first I have watched and for some reason, even though I am almost out of battery I was drawn to this. I have been alone for the past few years and even though I was raised Catholic I have been studying the Talmid and the Torah. I have been wanting to go to Israel even though I've never been there and feel like a lost sheep in America. My dentist told me that O am a Native American - He said he knows this because of the shape of my teeth. When you said the Lost Tribes could be the Native American's I almost fainted. I want to go home where I belong. Thank you for your teaching Rabbi. Love from Katie

I’m very impressed professor that you would “what was said in the New Testament and at least appearing to believe there has some legitimacy.

Is it that hard to refer to them as Isrealites ?

Very, very interesting thank you Prof. Abramson. When you said that only 20% of Jews left Egypt with Moses to go North to Israel, and 80% remained, I tend to think that some migrated South along the Nile deeper into Africa. In my tribe the Kalenjin in Kenya, East Africa, a lot of our traditions and names are eerily Jewish in origin and we trace our migration into Kenya from the North in Egypt, which we call Ka-kepta. Before colonization by the British brought us Christianity, we were monotheistic and called our God among other names Cheptal-El. Many of our place names have the El prefix, El-Kony (Mountain of God), El-dama Ravine, El-burgon, El-doret. We circumcise all males but not at 8 days, at 10-14 years as a rite of passage. We do not mix meat and milk when cooking or eating. We have a clan of priests like the Cohens, and only they can perform religious rites, including very specific animal sacrifice rites. We also have a story of a mass circumcision at Gilgil (Hebrew Gilgal) after years of wandering the wilderness, before we crossed a river called Choryaan (Hebrew Jordan) and went on to conquer Kericho (Hebrew Jericho). During circumcision, there is also a song that references Moses parting the waters of the sea. It says if it were not for Moses (whom we call Musaika), parting the sea we would all be dead. Moses survives in our language today as araap Mosonik (son of Mosonik), and Mosonik is a name given to left-handed children just as Moses was. Jacob I believe means 'to hold', and in our language 'koop' means to hold, so one born being held firmly is given the name 'Chekoop', similar to Jacob. I don't know if this is just all an eery coincidence, but we feel a very strong kinship with Jews, Jewish tradition, and with Israel to this day.

Very informative.

May I ask for academic sources for those three locations (Jurdistan, etc.) you mentioned? I would like to read more.

we are not lost your ppl paid for ships put us on them and scattered us to the four corners like the book says.

I love these lectures and look forward to more. Forgive my ignorance when asking questions. I've never practiced any religion but was born into a christian family. I have become fascinated with jewish history. I am from west Texas and our history is tied closely with New Mexico. We are now learning those early spanish settlers were basically fleeing to the edges of the empire to escape the inquisition. You mentioned in this short lecture about reclaiming captives is a jewish thing. Are you aware that reclaiming captives from native Americans was a big deal for the New Mexicans. They even asked and received permission from the government to do it. The conditions included conversion to catholic church. Regardless thousands of captives were redeemed by Hispanics and later became known as genizaros. They would travel hundreds of miles to redeem captives to bring to Santa Fe and put with families. We have a canyon here near Lubbock Texas that gets its name from the early spanish settlers from New Mexico. It is called Ransom Canyon, or canon de Rescate. Maybe it is possible the crypto jews of New Mexico were secretly practicing their jewish customs?

Thanks Professor Abramson. I grew up as a Protestant but left the faith after I studied Judaism. I get flak from the hicks where I grew up but I could care less. I learn much about the faith watching experts like you and Tovia Singer. Do I stand a chance of marrying a nice Jewish woman?

Something deeply spiritual is happening all over the world. Some have termed it “Hebrew Roots Movement.” I believe it’s a negative connotation. With no outside influence, people all over the world are “waking up” and being moved to obey the Torah. Are you aware of this? I was a born again, evangelical Christian for 23 years. My husband was a pastor. We were missionaries. Then, eight months ago, I began to have a spiritual awakening and a deep urgency to obey the Torah. My husband is 45 and plans on getting circumcised soon. Our family has been persecuted by the church, and we’ve lost our dearest friends. But absolute strangers are being brought into our lives who are all having similar experiences with this awakening. I believe prophecy is being fulfilled, and the 10 lost tribes are waking up...”In those days ten people from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’ This is happening!!! Please, be patient as we all try to figure our way back into the family and learn the ways of our Father.

SANHEDRIN 94a (Talmud): “The The Gemara asks: To where did Sennacherib exile the ten tribes? Mar Zutra says: He exiled them to Afrikei, and Rabbi Ḥanina says: To the Selug Mountains.” ……Afrikei

Very rich and fully packed with very interesting information. All your lectures are very informative. Sridhar Devadoss India

Shalom, I want to come home to Israel. Elohim called me back to His true shabat and feasts years ago. I am on my own with Elohim, hated by my husband, called a Jew as an insult, though I like it. And I want to be where I know I belong, following Yehoshua with my family, for He leads me in His righteous truth and ways and helps me with His grace, and I feel like a complete stranger accused of belonging to a Jewish sect, which I don't. I trust our Good shepherd and I long to return home to Israel, because you keep Elohim's Torah more than anyone and it is where I am being led

Then could this prophecy in Ezekiel refer to the "end times" ?

Wow... Great video. Thank you for explaining this topic. Shalom & Hag Sameah..

A huge issue is people seem to forget/ignore the unconditional, irrevocable, guaranteed Devine promises made to Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Ephraim, and Manashe, which were not fulfilled anciently. Judah was promised the scepter, but the national greatness, the material blessings, were promises primarily to Joseph and the Creator is not a liar. He has also prophesied and promised to restore them and to unify Judah and the whole house Israel. Other views on the subject are in contradiction to the Devine decrees and are in opposition to Faithfulness of scripture.

The Tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Machir (I.e. the East Bank Israelis) were resettled at the source of the Gozan River, according to I Chronicles 5, “where they still remain”. Since there have been no further updates of them in Scripture, Christian or Jewish, assuming them assimilated would be to reckon them as Armenians and Christians.

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos about the history and culture of the Jewish people.

Do you know anything about the view that Pashtuns are partly from the lost tribes of Israel? I'm a Pashtun and am interested in this question.

If you want to track where the tribes of Israel you must use the bible as reference and other books.

I really enjoy all of your teachings you are the best God Bless you 🙏

If I understand correctly Yahshua are used Aramaic quite a bit. Never have understood that. I know Greek was a big language back then I’m not sure I understood it better understand it now. I am only guessing but from what I understand and guess I’m a believer in Yashua Messiah. I always felt it Hebrew was like holy language one I believe will speak during the millennium just a guess.

Curious if only 20% of the Israelites left Eygpt, why would The Pharoah and his army have pursued them so aggressively? Or do the rabbis also think that part of the story is a myth?

The murals in Egypt illustrate exactly what the original Hebrews looked like. These people were enslaved in Egypt. There were not Europeans. The original Hebrew people look like the Lemba tribes. This undisputable. The only way people can grow is to accept truth! However, the people are waking up about who they really are! Read Duetoronmy 28: the only people that line up with the scriptures are the "Negros." The bible itself focuses on Africa. Middle East was in fact Africa not a political designation. The truth can no longer be hidden. Intellectual analysis can not hide the truth. It's really sad that history has been "white washed." The first people " Melinated People that inhabited all the continents around the world gave the world literature, architecture, music, mathematics, and technology has been deliberately left out of the education system. The contributions have intentionally been hidden. Why is this? It would certainly disprove the narrative that has been taught. It remains so even today. People would rather believe lies that make them feel special than the truth that will cause them to be human. Shalom!

Fun Fact: The biblical name "Pul" for Tiglath-Pileser III is a Hebraized form of the Babylonian "Pulu," which was the Assyrian king's adopted name, signifying him as king of both Assyria _and_ Babylonia.

How would this explain 2 Edras 13 which tells us from scripture what happened to the people of Yashar’al after the Assyrian captivity. How they sailed to Arzareth which today is called the America's.

Where is this Sabbatyam river located?

Perhaps an open discussion regarding the LDS perspective is warranted here in light of your final remarks. That the tribes of Joseph (Manasseh and Ephraim) and Mulek, son of Zedekiah and his people, are represented in their (these members of the Lost Tribes) account- namely the Book of Mormon.

What about the other 2 tribes ?

Thank you!!!

I'm guessing that de Montezinos's story is not widely accepted by modern historians. When you say you'll get back to it, do you mean when you reach the 1650's and have a chance to discuss Rabbi Menashe ben Israel? (BTW, do you have a video lecture dedicated to R' Menashe ben Israel? Is this theory discussed in that video? 1650 is a long time away if you're only up to the Shomronim.)

Well I know a little bit of history. Ribeye Akiva didn’t exactly have it all together.

Perhaps we can find traces of their Y paternal Haplogroup amongst the Assyrian population today! Specially when you say they took military aged men .

Great presentation as always. Yes, I believe some of the Native American Indians are actually native to Israel and part of the house of Israel. The book of Nephi tells the history of his father, Lehi's family who escaped Jerusalem and inherited a promised land in America. I look forward to reading some of these sources you mentioned.

The tribe of Judah settled in west Africa this is why the area was named Juda, these people faced every curse that was stated in deuteronomy....

I wouldn’t put a whole lot of weight on anything that Rabbi Akiva said he actually supported the idea that Bar Kockba Was Messiah. You can’t really understand scripture if you let something like that get by you. Of course we have it today it’s very clear who messiah is and people still don’t get it.

Thank you!

I'm disappointed that this Jewish sage kept using the terms Jews in referring to the 10 Lost Tribes. The people of the Northern Kingdom of Israel were not Jews they were Hebrews. He didn't use the scriptures such as Genesis 9.26-27 where it says that Japheth would dwell in the tents of Shem. He said they assimilated that's an opinion. He definitely has a agenda in his presentation.

i don't know what the scholar community called the northern tribes of ancient Israel "Lost Tribes" because they were never lost. The only metaphor found in the Hebrew Bible with the phrase 'lost sheep" is because Israel had false teachers that led Israel astray to sin. If you read Isaiah 11:11,12 and Obadiah 1: 20 ; Romans 15:24,28 it will tell you what geographical locations were sent the exiles of Israel and the tribe of Judah.

Thanks for the mention

There is an American western movie, fairly old, that has a narrator speaking of the American Indians using smoke signals. He said something like ... 'just like the Hebrews of old used smoke signals. But we won't talk about that....' I about coughed up supper when I heard that. So someone else thinks that too.

I often wished I could talk to James the Righteous and ask him if he was actually writing to Ephraim or was he just hopeful that the mailman knew where they were.

Well, it is obvious that the 12 tribes still exist otherwise they wouldn’t be in the book of revelation with the exception of the tribe of Dan That was replaced with the priestly class of Levi.

My mother's side, great great gramma Jerusha was Algonquin

Reminder set 😉

Please allow me to shed further light to the subject. Zephaniah 3:10, Isaiah 11:11&12 give us geographical locations of where Israel scattered to. Hosea 9:3 says after Assyria, Ephraim(10 tribes) would go to Egypt/Africa. Obviously not all would go, some were left in Assyria. The Igbo (bastardised "Hebrew") have an oral tradition that they escaped Assyria (2 Chronicles 30:6) and ran to Egypt->Ethiopia->West Africa. Our own (Bantu - Kongo people) tradition says that we came from Israel as soldiers sent to Egypt by King Manasseh, we never went back but rather came down the Nile and into Southern Africa : Zimbabwe - > Kalahari (where the ruins of "new Jerusalem" are found) - > the greater Sub-Sahara

Salam....another amazing lecture Dr Abramson. Unfortunately couldn't join live because of time difference. Thanks for spreading knowledge.

Ethiopian Jews'video comments section disabled. Why?

From reading these comments, I find it interesting how many people believe they are Israelites, including the fake Jews living in Israel currently that Revelations 3:9 speaks of. The Bible is clear on who the Israelites are and what they look like. Because of the color of their skin, they’re very easy to identify, which means they are not lost-only scattered. 🌸

4:08 ha a guy I was talking with few days ago said that. Here recently I have really dove into this history. I have been led to study Torah and Talmud in order to more effectively understand

The New Testament scripture states. Anna was from tribe of Asher. Luke 2:36 John the Baptist, Elizabeth and Zachariah were from tribe of Levi. Luke 1:5 Paul was from tribe of Benjamin Roman’s 11:1; Acts 26:6-7

You mention 80% stayed in Egypt. Is that why there was a well establish Jewish population in Alexandria?

Are you saying EL? Doesn’t that have a pagan connotation to it? And what about using YAH?

The Ten tribes and who they are, is more than easy. 1. The Stone tablets of the Kings Bibliothek of Sargon the 2nd, called the people who are the 10 tribes GiMiR, and they were resettled as a puffer zone. Also that they won a war against Urartu (before Urartu reached Assyria they attacked the resettled israelites for it... a bad idea, cause the lost tribes conquered Urartu instead). 2. The Behistun inscription in Iran call them also as GiMiR, and there is also a translation into greek and they called the GiMiR -> "SAKA", and SAKA we know since the greeks started their history, are the Scythians! 3. Gimir becomes Cimmerian, Saka becomes the Saka-Suni, the Sak-Suns (Sac's Sons [Isaac's Sons]) and later the Saxons! Cimmerians are now known as the east frisians, Saxons are also in West Germany and the Tartarian, Barbarian are now the Bavarians [beer brewers] 4. Oh and Germany - or better Germanii (means pure or original in latin) were the guys that are renamed from the romans! After a strugle between the real Scythians and the Sarmations who called themself also Scythians... but in fact the Germans or the Scythians defeated the romans, and also the Babylonians and also the Assyrians... Yes and the bible told of it in a prophecy that they will take possesion of the gates of their enemies... what a coincidence that the Gate of Babylon stands in Berlin, the gate(s) of Rome in Munich and other german towns and the gates of Assyria in Trier. God called them also as his Battle Axe... a perfect description for his warriors with the Battle Axe and shield! Oh and the english and french people are germans two!!! Angles -> English, Franks - France, also the greatest part of the USA, Canada, Danmark, Finland, etc. And it come thru what god promised to Abraham, that he turn his seed into "Nations"!!!

Just from a historical perspective, it would make more sense if the 12 tribes, are technically all still represented in the "Jewish" people. Just considering the events that would have taken place, those left behind or escaping invasion would theoretically flee to Judah, or return to Judah when they could. Not that all individuals would. Many probably staying in those places, integrating and so on. But it's more likely the tribal land was ended, but not the people from the tribe. Especially if all weren't actually taken into captivity, which is likely. So it's not that the tribes themselves are "lost", but tribal land was lost and individual members of those tribes might have been "lost". But if we are talking about representation by lineage, then between tribal intermarriage prior to destruction of a Northern Kingdom, on top of the likelihood that some would have fled to Judah or the surrounding regions, eventually making their way to Judah, then all the tribes would be represented in the population of Judah. At a time when tribal affiliation seems to have become far less important through the following periods. We no longer know who is from the "tribe of Benjamin" vs the "tribe of Judah", all becoming broadly "Judean". Which would make sense no matter what tribe one was from living in the land of Judah. Except I suppose Levites, who never had their own land anyway, according to tradition/text. Eventually, just based on time and marriage, all marrying into the tribe of Judah at one point or another until one population existed. Which more begs the question, is the tribe the people or the land? I'd say it's the people.

Professor, I mean no disrespect when I say this but I hear that a lot from the friends of mine that are Jewish. This Noahide law. That would more or less be implying for example that the 10 Commandments were only for the 12 tribes and nowhere in the Torah does it ever say that. Now it does go on to mention the Sabbath is the same between Yahweh and Israel. And I’m not gonna write off in a direction here but if you knew your New Testament at all I realize you guys don’t believe in it but romans 2:29 Who is the due but he’s there is one inwardly and Shirley no due at 10 tonight how many people that came from out of the 12 tribes and also were brought into the covenant. Moses father-in-law was not of the 12 tribes! What I really don’t get is there so many times in the Old Testament where it talks about Israel be an ally well in the Bible it says Jen towel for nation what part of that don’t you guys get? Are you saying God is respecter of persons?

Professor, can I ask you where is the Tribe of Levi now and the tribe of Dan. 😅😅.

At the time of Yahshua he gathered all the tribes of Isreal 50 days after his resurrection and so they were not lost, for he is the good shepherd and does not lose anything.

Zerah here. and I disagree with the captivitys. We were never lost or enslaved.

Every nation under Assyria paid tribute in sons and dotters. So “Israel’s” part in Assyrian warfare wasn’t under their first choice I think. However, it becomes rather clear some.. enjoyed the partnership and to that point divides a grouping that to this day hurts over it still. I can’t pretend to know what that’s like but I can read between the lines of feudal lordship practice throughout time and well… Lucy got some essepaininivin to Du! Thank you for your lessons so much!

Interesting,... very interesting 🤔. And a great sense of humor. 😊

Well done! Alot to unpack.

In the Mel brooks comedy, He played a American Indian speaking either Hebrew or yiddish. Very funny.

If one looks at the old Transvaal Boer Flag and Emblem, you will see that some of the 10 lost tribes are situated in South Africa. The colour Green on the flag represent Efraim, the Colour Red represents Juda, the Colour Blue represent Dan and the White represents Runin.

love the mention of Kal El 😊

What population are the northern tribes.. during those times? Can you show us a ancient map???

The lost tribes of Israel are the Samaritans and the Samaritans who converted to Christianity and Islam who people refer to as Palestinians

Dr. Abramson, what do you think about Jeremiah 16:14-15 14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. Could this be related to the lost 9.5 tribes?

*read the scriptures!* *_Kurdisran_* (hamat,elam,shinar, assyria), *_ends of the earth... Fareast_* (coastlands, and isles of the sea)....many judah went to *_Africa_* (egypt, pathros, cush)

Sounds like the general area where the kurds are.

Thank you Dr Abramson for your lecture as always. A few questions. How could the Assyrians have exiled such a small number and we consider the ten tribes lost? It sounds like the big numbers were from Judea not the northern Kingdom? Alsoi heard once that chizkiyah brought back some of the exiled tribes. Wouldn't that mean that they are not lost? Among the kingdom of judah there were some isrealites? Thank you in advance

I'm curious why people are searching for the groups that left Egypt. The Lost tribes are not lost, they left both Egypt and Jerusalem for various reasons. Technically speaking the old Jewish people were actually egyptian/African, and the comparably recently founded state of Israel has claimed the lost tribes of moses as Israeli tribes, yet Israel did not exist as we know it today. I can't help but feel the search for the lost tribes is because of something they may have possessed. Given Africa has so many dialects it is possible the tribes divided because they did not speak the same languages as eachother, and potentially held different beliefs to eachother and likely left to form their own settlements that may not neccesarily resemble or align with modern day Jewish beliefs. I am also somewhat confused how we are led to presume the entirety of Jewish people were all 'slaves' in Egypt. If there were no Jewish people outside of Egypt then the Jewish faiths surely must originate from Egypt, implying the Jewish faiths are derived from much older egyptian/Muslim belief systems. If there were Jewish faiths existing before moses led some from Egypt and into the dessert where they had little hope of surviving the journey, I can't help but feel moses may not neccesarily have been acting in their best interest. I fail to see the need to cross the Nile delta to get to Jerusalem, although if the Nile was formerly took a different path to that of today, it may well have run closer to the pyramids in giza, which would explain the claims of water erosion and perhaps some of the sand. Given the Muslim faiths are more akin to that of a lost tribe rather than original, and the Egyptian culture is much older than Jewish, Muslim and Christian beliefs, it makes sense the 3 groups are 3 of the 13 lost tribes of Israel, which became 10 as 3 distinct faiths all connect to Jerusalem and Egypt, as can many other popular faiths such as Islamic beliefs and Gnosticism to mention but a few. How is it we actually know how many tribes of Israel there were for sure? Unless someone documented where each tribe settled there is no way of knowing if the lost tribes divided further to create more tribes. Perhaps jesus was of one tribe, his 12 disciples members of other tribes, making 13 tribes that is perhaps symbolic and coincides with a 13 month calendar. There are some that claim there were 13 and a half tribes. Perhaps there was a secretive group to justify the half tribe, or perhaps they represent the moon as a half, or medium of all the tribes beliefs combined, but not specifically identifying as a singular belief/tribe, and do they essentially were never officially recognised as existing. My comments above are all speculation of course, and I am not an expert in religious history, but the basic fundamentals I feel legitimise my comments to some degree and worthy contemplation.

Exactly. There are no so-called lost tribes of ancient Israel. The "Jews" are the culmination of all the formerly known tribes in one people.

"In the fifth century, or after the lapse of 1,100 years, Jerome (tom. vi. 9, Ed. Y allarsii: Veronm, 1736), in his notes on Hosea i. 6, 7 says, "Unto this day the ten tribes are subject to the kings of Persia, nor has their captivity ever been loosed;" and again, "The ten tribes inhabit at this day the cities and mountains of the Medes." Are any of them there still? Considering the migratory habits of Jews in general, it would not be a matter for surprise if they were not, but Dr. Asahel Grant, who laboured among the Nestorians for many years, has demonstrated the identity of that people with the lsraelitish exiles beyond a doubt. To his work, and to the Rev. John Wilkinson, who availed himself of the recent visits of Deacon Abraham and other Nestorians to this country to learn the fact from their own mouths, I am indebted for this part of my answer. Here, from the banks of a river which still bears its ancient name of Khabour, to the shores of the lakes Wan and Oorumieh are a people numbering a million and a half, speaking Syriac, the language of Israel in their captivity, with strong Jewish features and Jewish names, calling themselves Ben i Israel, children of Israel, part of them professing the Jewish faith, and part Christians; these, however, retaining all such Jewish customs and ceremonials even to the peace offerings (I .. ev. vii.), vows, and purifications as are not incompatible with a belief in Jesus as the Messiah, just as did the Jewish Christians and the Apostle St. James. They are called Apostates by their unconverted brethren, Nestorians by ecclesiastical writers (not by themselves), because they supported Nestorius in his opposition to the expression θεοτόκος;, 'without however adopting his heresy concerning the Incarnation. They themselves state that some of their forefathers having gone up to Jerusalem at the Feast of Pentecost," the Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and dwellers in Mesopotamia," of whose presence the writer of the Acts makes mention, caught the Pentecostal fire, and preached Jesus to their countrymen on their return, and that at their request the Church of Jerusalem sent down the Apostles SS. Thomas, Thaddeus, and Bar- tholomew, names still honoured among them, to confirm them in their faith. What a wonderful light does not this throw on the address of the Epistle by St. James, Bishop of Jerusalem, "to the twelve tribes scattered abroad"! " -"The Nestorian Christians, or the Lost Tribes.'' Murray & Co., 3rd Edition, 1844. 200: Have the Ten Tribes been Lost?

Why do use the term "Bible?" This isn't a matter of preference. I'm just trying to understand. Isn't there another Jewish world for the scriptures?

There is a lot of the J2 Y haplogroup between Italy and Iran. The Israelite Semitic mtDNA is common throughout all of Europe and the swath mentioned. Then there is that mysterious I paternal haplogroup that goes through Europe into Scandinavia. (That's what I am.) Ha Shem knows.

I'm sick of being called a jew when I'm really a Hebrew Israelite of the tribe of manasseh im not from Judea

...So has any Jewish DNA, been detected, in people, around the world?... That would be an incredible lecture, that would reveal a tremendous of information, about this subject....

Henry Next time you scan a map like this ,put a piece of black construction paper behind it.

Really nice

Those in the kingom of israel werent known as jews

Some think many of the most wealthy in the northern kingdom escaped to Europe (before being captured). There are ancient Hebrew inscriptions dates to that time that are hard to explain. Whoever it was became successful merchants.

Interesting 🧐. I never heard Dr. that only 20% of original Hebrew nation had left with Moses. Also I have a sincere question! Is Aramaic possibly the true Hebrew language? I ask because all of the oldest scriptures I’ve heard of that were found in the Dead Sea scrolls were written in Aramaic. Also another question does a Family crest perhaps help identify any ties to the Israelites?

The Bible speaks for itself and it is so bold on identity of the 12 tribes where they scattered! Isaiah 11:10-11 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. 13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. Currently there are only three tribe of Benjamin , Juda , Levi with some converted immigranted jews world wide live in Israel ! but Israel are 12 tribes! The bible verses below testify of truth! After the split of the Israel Kingdom at the time of King Solomon's rule in the 10th century BCE, the Scriptures generally differentiate between "Judah" and "Israel", as between "the House of Judah" (the Southern Kingdom of, the Jews from their Capitol in Jerusalem) and " the House of Israel" (the Northern 10-Tribed Kingdom, with their Capitol in Shomron). The latter is also commonly referred to as "the House of Ephraim" or "the House of Joseph". The "House of Jacob" refers to all the Tribes of Israel. The "House of Israel", in some instances, when it appears not paired with a reference to Judah, could also refer to all 12 Tribes. The context should confirm which is meant. It is important to bear these terms in mind when reading the Tanach ('Old Testament') references to 'Israel', 'Judah', 'Ephraim'. 'Yoseph', etc. Jeremiah 3:14-18 "Return, faithless people," declares YAH..., "for I am your Husband. I will choose you - one from a town and two from a clan - and bring you to Zion. Then I will give you shepherds after My own Heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land," declares YAH..., "men will no longer say, 'The Ark of the Covenant of YAH....' It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made. At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of YAH..., and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of YAH.... No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts. In those days the House of Judah will join the House of Israel, and together they will come from a northern land to the land I gave your forefathers as an inheritance.." Yechezk'El (Ezekiel) 37:15-19 "And the Word of YAH... came to me saying, 'And you, son of man, take one stick to yourself and write on it, For Judah, and for his companions, the sons of Israel. And take another stick and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions. And draw them one to one for yourself, into one stick. And they shall become one in your hand. And when the sons of your people shall speak to you, saying, 'Will you not declare to us what these mean to you?' Say to them, 'So says YAH...: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions. And I will put them with him, with the stick of Judah, and I will make them one stick, and they shall be one in My hand.' Yechezk'El (Ezekiel) 37:20-28 And the sticks shall be in your hand, the ones on which you write before their eyes. And say to them, 'So says YAH...: Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations, there where they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and will bring them into their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one King shall be for a king to all of them. And they shall not be two nations still. And they will not be split into two kingdoms any more. And they will not still be defiled with their idols, even with their filthy idols, nor with all of their transgressions. But I will save them out of all their dwelling places where they have sinned in them, and I will cleanse them. So they shall be for a people to Me and I will be their G-d. And My Servant, David, shall be King over them. And there shall be one Shepherd to all of them. And they shall walk in My judgments and keep My statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell on the land that I have given to my servant, to Jacob, there where your fathers dwelt in it. And they shall dwell on it, they and their sons, and the sons of their sons, forever. And My Servant David shall be a ruler to them forever. And I will cut a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant it shall be with them, And I will place them and multiply them, and I will put My sanctuary in their midst forever. And My tabernacle shall be with them, and I will be their G-d, and they shall be My people. And when My sanctuary shall be in their midst forever, the nations shall know that I, YAH..., sanctify Israel.'" Yechezk'El (Ezekiel) 39:23-24 And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My Face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid My Face from them. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: He shall cleans ungodliness ( sinful live ) from Jacob !

Thank you Henry for your interesting videos. However, you did ask for feedback if there is disagreement. Please note what midrash you say only 20% of the Jews left Egypt with Moses. I believe you are incorrect. Not only did 100% of the Jews leave, but many non-Jews went with them believing in the God of Israel =)

Great thx

It is absolutely inevitable that Yehudah and Yisrael will be re-united in HaShem's perfect timing ! Shalom l love all of your lectures !
