3. Norway and Gad
4. Norway, Bashan, Golan, and the House of David
5. Norway, Judah, and Samaria
6. Norway, Ing, and Naphtali?
7. Norway, Naphtali, and Judah

In general Brit-Am identifies Norway with Naphtali though other elements are also present and based on the research results explained in our work "The Tribes" we would exprect to find input from Naphtali, Dan, Gad, Asher, Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh), and Judah. This is not what we obtained but who knows whether a more thorough examination may not give us closer co-ordinates.

We obtained results for Norway by using both the usual form of the name and another form of the name that is very slightly at variance with the one usually used in Modern Hebrew (NORVVGYaH instead of NORVVYGYaH) but possibly more correct. The first results that we will discuss concern the divergent form of the name.

1. Norway, Asher, and the House of David

This was the lowest sequential result for Norway. Interval in reversed order of 1839. Begins (actually ends since the order is reversed) at Jeremiah 17:13, continues through 18:18, 20:5, 22:2, 23:3, 23:35, 25:12, 26:4.
This verse we thought to be especially significant: [Jeremiah 23:3] AND I WILL GATHER THE REMNANT OF MY FLOCK OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES WHITHER I HAVE DRIVEN THEM, AND WILL BRING THEM AGAIN TO THEIR FOLDS; AND THEY SHALL BE FRUITFUL AND INCREASE.

We have noticed that the name NORWAY intersects with O LORD, THE HOPE OF ISRAEL [Jeremiah 17:13]. Actually the word translated as THE HOPE in Hebrew is MIKVEH which more usually means a kind of pond of water for ritual immersion and purification. God is both the HOPE and PURIFIER of Israel! The middle line contains the expression SITTING UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID [Jeremiah 22:2]. Perhaps the Ruling House of Norway has a special connection to that of David? Further down we find "ASHER" but as mentioned elsewhere ASHER besides being the name of an Israelite Tribe also means "WHICH" and is a very common word so that conclusions are difficult to reach without supportive evidence.

2. Norway, Asher, Judah, and Benjamin

Interval in reversed order of 8384. Begins (actually ends since the order is reversed) at Zechariah 2:4.

Shows JUDAH attached to NORWAY as do MOST of the other results!!! It also shows ISHUAH son of ASHER (Genesis 46:17). Another son of ASHER was YIMNAH (JIMNAH) and we find YIMNY close by with the slight vowel change in the last syllable being an acknowledged phenomen. YIMNY is intersected by YIMINI which could be either another form of YIMNAH from ASHER or a form of the name BENJAMIN whose descendants are referred to as YIMINI in the Hebrew Bible (cf. Judges 19:16, 1-Samuel 9:1, etc The KJ transliterates this as BENJAMINITES but in the Hebrew the expression is Sons of YIMINI or Man of YIMINI. "Yimini" is translated as Benjaminite). It used to be accepted that NORWAY was dominated by Benjaminites and this belief stil has its convinced adherents. Even Brit-Am identifies the Normans who emerged from Denmark and Norway as from Benjamin but considers them a separate entitiy of their own and distinct from those who remained in Norway.

3. Norway and Gad

Interval in reversed order of -11015. Begins at Job 5:18. Shows NORWAY intersected by GAD.

4. Norway, Bashan, Golan, and the House of David

Interval in 8732. Begins at [1-Chronicles 6:71] UNTO THE SONS OF GERSHOM WERE GIVEN OUT OF THE FAMILY OF THE HALF TRIBE OF MANASSEH, GOLAN IN BASHAN WITH HER SUBURBS, AND ASHTAROTH WITH HER SUBURBS:

The N in BASHAN starts the name NORWAY. BASHAN is the area east of the Jordan chiefly inhabited in the past by the Half-Tribe of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad in addition to which the Levites had cities of their own scattered throughout the area. The BASHAN was referred to in Mesopotamia as BASIL and according to the Roman Geographer Pliny "BASILIA" was the original name for Scandinavia. We have here a link between the BASHAN and NORWAY. Besides BASHAN is the GOLAN.

Also shows EVERY [important] MAN [Hebrew: "ISHI"] OF JUDAH AND JERUSALEM attached to NORWAY. To the side are the letters for NiATZU which literally means "made angry" but also can allude to the NAZIS. Most of the Norwegians resisted the Nazis but a Quisling element also existed.
Adjacent to NORWAY at the right hand side we find HEFER a son of Machir son of Manasseh (Joshua 17:21). in "The Tribes" we traced HEFER of Manasseh to the Anglo-Saxon Haeferingas and also to the HEAFR who are considered a Gothic group from Scandinavia but who also were to be found amongst the Anglo-Saxon invaders of Britain.
At the bottom left we see THE AMMONITES. Ammon and Moab were brother nations and perhaps a presence of Ammon in Scandinavia parallels the indicated presence of MOAB in Britain?

5. Norway, Judah, and Samaria

Reverse sequence of 12993. Begins at 1-Kings 13:14. Once again shows a connection to JUDAH. The expression FROM JUDAH adjoins NORWAY which is intersected in the middle by SAMARIA [Hebrew: SHOMRON] which was the name of the Northern Ten Tribes when they had their own kingdom in the Land of Israel and is the name sometimes used to represent them in Prophecy.

The next two matrices are derived from the only two results obtained when the name NORWAY was submitted as it is usually spelt in Modern Hebrew.

6. Norway, Ing, and Naphtali?

Interval in 35888. Spelt correctly. Begins at Joshua 15:57 which deals with the territorial allotment of Judah.
At the top of NORWAY shows ING who was the mythical founder of a group of peoples in Ancient Scandinavia with whom the Angles and others were associated. After that comes ISRAEL. We then have the verb "YiPaL" followed by the NAME of God Almighty repeated twice." "YiPaL" literally means "FALL" and the English word "fall" derives from it. The name NAPHTALImay be derived from this verb or intended to connote its meaning along with other meanings. The distinguishing mark of NAPHTALI was that he was "as swift as a hind", NAPHTALI IS A HIND LET LOOSE [Genesis 49:21], literally through his natural speed almost "falling" in the direction he intended.

7. Norway, Naphtali, and Judah

At a reverse sequence of 44383 begins at Jeremiah 52:10 and works backwards. Shows NORWAY just above the expression "FOR ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF DAVID". At the top to the right we have THE PRINCES OF JUDAH and then after that closer to NORWAY we have YETSER a son of Naphtali ("JEZER" in the KJ, Genesis 46:24).

Our Brit-Am Preliminary Bible Code Test applied to Norway at present indicates connections between Norway, the House of David, Judah, Samaria (the Ten Tribes), Bashan and Golan, Asher, Gad, and Naphtali. We are uncertain how to relate to these findings but on the whole they roughly correspond with the indications of research results that were explained in our book "The Tribes". On some matters there exist differences in emphasis between our previous conclusions and those indicated by these brief Bible Code examinations we have undertaken. We do not think at this stage that our previous results need to be modified but the possibility may be worth bearing in mind in the future.
