1. Excavations at Bethel
From: L P
Subject: Re: Joshua 16
Dr. Albright of the American Schools of Oriental Research carried out
soundings in BethEl in 1927, and in 1934 he was joined by Dr. J.L. Kelso of
the Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary, and other young archeologists.
The excavation was resumed by Dr. Kelso in 1954
2. Richard Griffiths: The Bible in English
Yair,
David Daniell, a Shakespearean scholar, just published a 900 page work on the
history of the translation of the bible into English, "The Bible in English".
It is an incredible work. I thought the following quote would be of
interest.
Dr. Richard Griffiths
Page 11
"In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Britain was slow to develop
printing, and to have a printed vernacular Bible, in both cases because of
political
repression dating from the beginning of the fifteenth century, a severity
ultimately caused by the success of the manuscript Bible translations made in
English around 1380 under the influence of John Wyclif. When the first printed
Bibles arrived in England especially those made from Greek and Hebrew by
William Tyndale in the 1520s and 1530s (for which he was burned), they were, however,
of such outstanding quality that in the sixteenth century the Bibles in
English were unique - in scholarship and use of language, in the numbers of
fine translations made (ten separate versions made from Tyndale's first in 1526 to
the famous 1611 KJV), and in influence on national life and culture. Luther's
German translations were magnificent and influential, and made the first
'bestsellers'. Several versions in French and Dutch were interesting and
influential. But it was from the familiar Bibles in English, the Geneva
Bibles of 1560, 1576 and 1599, and from KJV after 1769, that so much of world influence grew.
It is important to emphasise the variety. Just as for nearly five hundred
years the number of Bible translations into English has been far greater than
into any other language, so, in the sixteenth century, England was unique
in the number of different vernacular translations on offer..."
3. Norway: New Insights?
We identified Norway as having been settled by Naphtali. We explained this
in some detail in our work "The Tribes".
Now we have some new points:
[Genesis 49:21] NAPHTALI IS A HIND LET LOOSE: HE GIVETH GOODLY WORDS.
Napthali we identified with the Naphtalite Huns who settled in Scandinavia
especially in Norway. The deer we noticed was a major symbol of
Scandinavian royalty and arostocracy.
The following note from Lars Ims (on another forum) came to our attention:
<<Odin has been around a lot longer ....but maybe not as a warrior god.
Thor and
Tyr seems to be older warrior gods than Odin, even though
they also may have had different functions at earlier
stages of Norse or Germanic religion.
I think it would be more fruitful to follow what we
may call the thul-connection to understand Odin's
early life. The Greek traveler Pytheas from Massilia
(Marseille) traveled along the coast of what is now
known as Norway perhaps as far north as Bodo around
330 BC, and he called that land Thule, which a Norse
scholars like Ottar Groenvik understands as "the land
of the Thuls" or "the Thul land". If he is right,
that would definitely connect Odin to an early stage of
Norse religion, since Odin is both called "the old
thul" and "the great thul" (Fimbulthul). The word
means "speaker" in Old English, and Odin's pulpit or
speaker's chair is referred to as "the chair of the
thul" in Mnemonic lists of word synonyms are
called thulur in Old Icelandic literature. From all
this we might conclude that Odin as the thul is a
cultic or religious speaker whose lore is knowledge
such as runes and other intellectual skills. We may
assume that in this early stage of his life, Odin is
more a god of wisdom than anything else, and that he
only later assumed the functions of other gods such
as the martial aspect. Odin is after all not an active
warrior in the myths. He himself only partakes in the
first and last battles of the world, when he
initiates the Aesir-Vanir war by throwing his spear over the
opposing army, and when he fights the Fenrir wolf and
dies during Ragnarok. Thor, on the other hand, is
always off somewhere in the east to fight the giants.
Odin's main interest seems to lie in procuring
knowledge at any cost, and this may reflect his
earlier and perhaps truer self. .>>
Brit-Am Remarks: Odin was the mythical leader of people who migrated from
the Black Sea shores and the Don River estuary to Scandinavia and the West.
Various interpretations have been given for the name:
In the Caucasus area the name could mean The Dan and later Odin in
Scandinavian Danish tradition was identified with Dan the Greatancestor of the Danes.
Odin was explained by Isaac Mozeson (The Word) to be a form of the Hebrew
Adon meaning lordand one of the titles of Joseph.
Sometimes one name can have several meanings, or it can have one original
meaning but receives additional meanings when it is interpreted according
to the different language areas its bearer finds himself among. This is
actually quite common. According to the above we would suggest that the
name is derived from the Hebrew Da or Yeda meaning knowledge, knowing, make
know. This root in different dialects could be pronounced as donor Ydon. We
see from above that the name and personality of Odon were associated with
knowledge.
Norway was known as Thule. P. Senstius (1931) once suggested that Thule is
a shortened form of Nafthali. At all events we have located Naphthali in
Norway. The above note says that not only Norway but also the people of
Norway were called Thuls and that this word means Speaker. Are these the
goodly words that Naphtali speaks.
[Genesis 49:21] NAPHTALI IS A HIND LET LOOSE: HE GIVETH GOODLY WORDS.
The people of Naphtali should repent. They were partly responsible for the
Oslo agreements that caused the death of many in Judah and much suffering
and threatened all Israel with a diminution of sovereignty or worse over
the Promised Land.
4. Lost Tribes Brit-Am Settlement in Israel
I understand from Prophecy (Micah 5, Jeremiah 3, and others) that the
initiative for the return of the Lost Ten Tribes
at first will come from Judah. This return will probably be in the
beginning mainly to the territories of Judah and Samaria.
Parallel to this there will be an independent movement of Joseph (Micah
7:14 Zechariah 10:10) into Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and neighboring regions.
I might be wrong but this is how it seems things must be. We must reach out
to Judah and inform Judah of Brit-Am identifications.
This has not yet been done and anybody who says differently is
misrepresenting the reality.
Regarding the land of Israel We must wait for Judah to open the door and
this has not been done as yet but will take place eventually.
The occupation of Lebanon Syria and the other regions will take place
independently of Judah though in co-ordination with him.
I see an initiative coming from Judah after Judah has been made an approach
to and some degree of "respectability" established.
Shortly we will (God willing) publish a more thorough explanation of this
subject in a coming issue of our magazine "Brit-Am Truth".
Very shortly we should be publishing a quality work in Hebrew and reaching
out more locally. At all events any support you can give us will be welcome
and needed.
5. The Apple of Israel
>Dear Sir:
>
>I was told the apple followed the Israelites during their migration across
>Europe to be followed by Johnny Appleseed in N.America.Have you heard of
>this or have any documentation for it?
>
>Ervin Miller
I have never heard of it but would be interested. I once, following an
informational lead from Yehonathan David White,
tried to follow the path of certain breeds of horses and sheep from Israel
to the west. There differently is something to pursue along these lines,
also perhaps including types of dogs and cattle.
6. Biblical Proofs nos 41-111. THE TRIBE OF SIMEON
"And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad and Jachin, and Zohar,
and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman" Genesis 46; 10.
The sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the
Nemueli: of Jamin, the family of the Jamini: of Jachin the family of the
Jachini.
"Of Zerah, the family of Zarhi: of Shaul, the family of the Shauli" Numbers
26; 12-13.
SIMEON ASSIMILATED IN PART
AMONGST JUDAH -
"And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that
we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go up with thee
into thy lot. So Simeon went up with him" Judges 1; 3.
"And the second lot came forth to Simeon, for the tribe of the children of
Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the
inheritance of the children of Judah" Judges 19; 1.
PEOPLES OF SIMEON
Shimeon (Simeon)
Samnitae (Scythia),
Semnoni (Germany, included the Angle-group prior to their invasion of
Britain, see the coming issue of our magazine Brit-Am Truthissue no.8 for
an interesting article concerning Biblical-like practices amongst these
people when they were still pagans in Northern Europe.
Simuen Ireland
Simeni Wales
Semoni East Celtic Britain),
Samnites Brittany Gaul in present-day France.
Clans of Simeon:
¨
Nemuel = Nemetae (Gaul), Nemnetes? (Gaul).
¨
Ohad = Headobards (Lombards migrated from Scandinavia to
North Italy).
¨
Yamin = Yom (Viking group), Ymbrin in Sweden. Ambri moved
to Scandinavia and Belgium.
¨
Yacin = Euci (Anglo-Saxon Germany), Eucae (Scythia east
of Caspian Sea), Euchatae (Scythia), Iceni (Celtic Britain in "Semoni"
region: "Iceni" = approximates to the Phoenician-Hebrew rendition of
Yacin). Hecani (Anglo-Saxon group).

¨ Shaul = Silures (Wales).
7. The Situation
Concerning Brit-Am things on the whole are improving and we are optimistic.
We still need your help all the time.
Without your ongoing assistance we cannot do anything.
Theodore Herzl the founder of the modern Zionist Movement that helped
create the State of Israel
once said (more than 50 years before the State was established) words to
the following effect:
<<If you so will it is not a fantasy based on legend>>
We are doing something and we can do more and you too are part of this
enterprise.
[Deuteronomy 4:39] KNOW THEREFORE THIS DAY, AND CONSIDER IT IN THINE HEART,
THAT THE LORD HE IS GOD IN HEAVEN ABOVE, AND UPON THE EARTH BENEATH: THERE
IS NONE ELSE.
[Deuteronomy 30:12] IT IS NOT IN HEAVEN, THAT THOU SHOULDEST SAY, WHO SHALL
GO UP FOR US TO HEAVEN, AND BRING IT UNTO US, THAT WE MAY HEAR IT, AND DO IT?
[Deuteronomy 30:13] NEITHER IS IT BEYOND THE SEA, THAT THOU SHOULDEST SAY,
WHO SHALL GO OVER THE SEA FOR US, AND BRING IT UNTO US, THAT WE MAY HEAR
IT, AND DO IT?
[Deuteronomy 30:14] BUT THE WORD IS VERY NIGH UNTO THEE, IN THY MOUTH, AND
IN THY HEART, THAT THOU MAYEST DO IT.
