Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tudor Parfitt examines a myth which is based on one of the world's oldest mysteries - what happened to the lost tribes of Israel? Christians and Jews alike have attached great importance to the legendary fate of these tribes which has had a remarkable impact on their ideologies throughout history. Each tribe of Israel claimed descent from one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the land of Israel was eventually divided up between them. Following a schism which formed after the death of Solomon, ten of the tribes set up an independent northern kingdom, whilst those of Judah and Levi set up a separate southern kingdom. In 721BC the ten northern tribes were ethnically cleansed by the Assyrians and the Bible states they were placed: in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan and in the city of Medes. The Bible also foretold that one day they would be reunited with the southern tribes in the final redemption of the people of Israel. Their subsequent history became a tapestry of legend and hearsay. The belief persisted that they had been lost in some remote part of the world and there were countless suggestions and claims as to where.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 722 BCE the Israelite masses were taken by the Assyrian army and led off to exile. The legends surrounding the whereabouts of these Ten Lost Tribes are so numerous, so persuasive and so enchanting, there is hardly a place under the sun that has not been searched by explorers in their quest to uncover their "True" journey and location. When the longing for their lost, far-away brothers overwhelmed the, the communal heads and rabbis of the remaining tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi composed letter and sent them out by messenger to the Ten Tribes. These messengers generally vanished as well, and all traces of them seem to have disappeared in a cloud of uncertainty and mystery. Dr. Shachan has followed in the footsteps of these messengers and returned. He tells us of the people of Pashtunistan in Afghanistan, which is made up of tribal clans whose names and genealogies relate to the Ten Tribes.He has rediscovered the remnants of the Nephtalite kingdom and pinpointed the location of the Ten Tribes in central Asia. He has found traces of the kingdom of Kaifeng in China. He has documented the path of the Ten Tribes through India and followed them to Japan, even including a glossary of Hebrew terms used in Japanese. Today relics of the culture, customs and commandments of the Mosaic Law are still in evidence among different nations and tribes. Ten of millions of inhabitants of the world still claim that they are descendants of the Ten Tribes 2,700 years after their exile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel is the first study to treat the history of claims to an Israelite identity as an ongoing historical phenomenon from biblical times to the present. By treating the Hebrew Bible's accounts of Israel as one of many efforts to construct an Israelite history, rather than source material for later legends, Andrew Tobolowsky brings a long-term comparative approach to biblical and nonbiblical “Israelite” histories. In the process, he sheds new light on how the structure of the twelve tribes tradition enables the creation of so many different visions of Israel, and generates new questions: How can we explain the enduring power of the myth of the twelve tribes of Israel? How does “becoming Israel” work, why has it proven so popular, and how did it change over time? Finally, what can the changing shape of Israel itself reveal about those who claimed it?

Download or read book Legacies of the Ten Found Tribes of Israel written by Donald Miller and published by Different Perspectives Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2007 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legacies of the Ten Found Tribes of Israel is a book that tells the reader who the people of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were, where they came from and where they went to. It discusses their abductions by the Assyrians and their forced marches to the steppes of Central Asia and then east and west to establish periodic stops for an east - west trade route through the mountains and deserts and seas of what is now Central Asia, Western China and Eastern Europe. It also relates the order of their abductions in four campaigns spanning the years of 734 - 722 B.C.E. to the order of their settlement on the trade route.Subsequent development of the Trade Route gave rise to a support infrastructure of towns and places which had commercial specialities. The book goes on further to show how the descendants of the abducted people influenced the world of their respective times and how their influences have reached into modern times in the way of the development of eastern religions and many of our modern languages.The author, Donald Miller, with a formal background in chemical engineering and a lifelong career in multi-disciplinary engineering has been very much involved in performing studies using the Scientific Method. He became interested in the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and proceeded to do a study using the Scientific Method to learn more about them. Research uncovered several facts and anomalies associated with the abductions of the people of the Lost Tribes and the subsequent exiles of Judeans to Babylonia in 597 and 586 B.C.E. and then the conquest of the Babylonians by the Persians in 539 B.C.E.Those facts and anomalies led the author to view Central Asia as a possible destination of the abducted people. Finding places on maps of Central Asia, Eastern Europe, Southern Russia and Northern China having Hebraic sounding names resulted in his development of a word defining instrument, the Hebrew word analysis, which he used to analyze those names.The Hebrew word analysis transliterates modern English names into Hebrew text. English definitions of the root words eked out of the transliterated Hebrew text are found in a religious Hebrew to English dictionary since the religious Hebrew language was the vernacular of those ancient people. The root word definitions are then assembled into meaningful English definitions.For instance, Mosul, a city in the nation of Iraq which appeared to have been an internment camp and the first stop on the long treks of the abducted people has the Hebrew word analysis definition of Sitting In Judgement Without Distinguishing Or Examining Or Finding Out And Banking The Money. Resht, a city in the nation of Iran which appeared to have been the first permanent site of those dispossessed people has the definition of It Is Indeed Dispossessed And In Poverty. The Kara Kum Desert in the nation of Turkmenistan has the definition of, Cut (By) The Heat Not A Dark Place To Hide. The Alay Mountain Range in the nations of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan has the definition, Above And About Me. The names of thirty five cities and other places were seen as having been descended from the sites and places to and through which those ancient abducted people were brought. Another forty one cities and other places appeared to have been descended from places in which those early people and their descendants were later involved with in commerce. For instance, Moldova, the nation of Moldova, which appears as an entrance into Europe from the Black Sea end of the Trade Route is defined as Issues Plenty. Sukhumi, an important Caspian Sea port city in Russia is defined as To Annoint (With Wealth). Mt. Ararat, a mountain in Turkey which is seen from Yerevan, a city in Armenia, is defined as In Awe Of The Mountain. Tabriz, a city in Iran situated in a very appropriate place to have marketed iron from an ancient iron rich area around Vani, is defined as Pure Iron, Free Of Coals Or Ashes And Not Blackened Or Charred Unto. Moving further into the history of the descendants of those abducted people and using the same Hebrew word analysis brings the reader to the Barbarians with Barbarian defined as (Here) Is The Uncultivated, Clear, Bright, Clean Son, Not Belonging, (Going) Whither. The name of the Vandals who had come from a part of Eastern Germany that had been brutalized by the Romans centuries before is defined as For If Not The Sons. The conquering Huns coming from Central Asia are defined as Behold, Here Is Possession And Wealth. The seafaring Vikings name is defined as Hunt (For) Dry Soil (With A) Club And Not A Woe.Elsewhere in the book the reader will find Hebrew word analysis definitions of eastern religions names and concepts such as Vedic, another name for Hindu, (Those) Who Search, Examine And Investigate. The definition of Karma is A Contract (With) The High And Exalted. Rama is defined as The High Exalted (One). Krishna is defined as The Protector Of People. Buddha is defined as To Move Nimbly With Clarity. Dharma is defined as an Eminent Person Who Has Risen Up (Through) The Imposition Of Wisdom Without A Woe. Yoga is defined as To Collect Thoughts (Through) Painstaking Labor As A Sign Of Mental Responsibility Without Always (Being) A Scholar. Nirvana is defined as Bather In Light and Zen is defined as Learning Without Method. Towards the end of the book the reader reaches modern times and modern languages such as English with words such as advocate which is defined as One Who (Does) Others (Work, Uses) Witnesses, Testimony And Evidence To Shuttle And Weave (A Web), (And) If He Gains, He Gains Little (For Himself), If He Loses, He Loses Much (For Others) Without A Woe. The word silly is defined as To Draw Wine From The Wine Pit. Garden is defined as To Plough Livable Land Here. Tumult is defined as To Stir And Be Mixed Up Beyond Time And Recognition. The Russian Tsar is defined as The Oppressor, the serf as The Consumed, and Stalin as And Why Do We Not Say, Madman? Although the study that the book describes was based on the ancient Hebrew languages, the book itself was written for the general English language reader and no knowledge of any Hebrew language is necessary to read or understand the 263 page book which contains 191 graphics including six in map form and 185 graphics of Hebrew word analyses of each name and word studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes Biblical passages and Assyrian accounts of the deportation of the Israelites *Includes a bibliography for further reading "I counted as spoil 27,280 people, together with their chariots, and gods, in whom they trusted. I formed a unit with 200 of [their] chariots for my royal force. I settled the rest of them in the midst of Assyria. I repopulated Samaria more than before. I brought into it people from countries conquered by my hands. I appointed my commissioner as governor over them, and I counted them as Assyrians." - Sargon II, Assyrian king In the 8th century BCE, one of the most important provinces within the Assyrian Empire was Samaria. Also known as Israel, Samaria repeatedly rebelled against their Assyrian overlords, but in 722, the Assyrians overran Samaria once and for all, killing countless numbers and sending most of the rest of its inhabitants into forced exile. The events of Samaria's fall were chronicled in the Assyrian annals from the reign of Sargon II and the Old Testament, and although the two sources present the event from different perspectives, they corroborate each other for the most part and together present a reliable account of the situation. The end result was that 30,000 Israelites were forcibly deported from the region, a tactic the Assyrians found so effective that they would continue to use it against other conquered enemies until the fall of their own empire. The Assyrians' forced exile of the Israelites was not the only time such a fate had befallen them, as made clear by Babylonian accounts and the Biblical account of the Exodus out of Egypt, but it was that exile that permanently scattered most of the legendary 12 tribes of Israel, and the fate of the 10 lost tribes has interested people ever since. The patriarchal stories in Genesis explain the following about the origin of the tribes of Israel. The patriarch Jacob, whose name was later changed to Israel (Gen 32:28), was himself the son of Isaac and the grandson of Abraham. He had 12 sons who are the eponymous ancestors of the 12 tribes of Israel. Genesis lists the 12 sons according to their mothers. Jacob had five sons with his first wife: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, and Issachar. Leah's maid, Zilpah, bore another two sons to Jacob: Gad and Asher. His second wife, Rachel, also bore only two sons: Joseph and Benjamin; as did her maid, Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali. The simple version of the Ten Lost Tribes is that modern Jewish communities are composed of the descendants of two of these 12 tribes because Cyrus the Great allowed these tribes to return to Judah from their captivity in Babylon. However, the location and fate of the remaining 10 tribes, deported by the Assyrians from the northern kingdom of Israel two centuries earlier, remains a mystery, and it is this mystery that lies at the heart of the search for the Ten Lost Tribes. The Ten Lost Tribes looks at what is known and unknown about the missing tribes of Israel, and speculation as to their fate. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Lost Tribes of Israel like never before, in no time at all.
