1. More on A NATION AND A COMPANY OF NATIONS

I am not questioning your interpretation of the Hebrew language
but am trying to gain further understanding myself of its meaning. You seem
at times overly sensitive to questions, as if under attack, when in actuality
people are just trying to get some questions answered. After re-reading Gen.
48 (something I should have done first before writing you), I see that the
expression "a nation and a company of nations" is not the wording used for
Ephraim and Manasseh, as you of course pointed out in no uncertain terms.
Your take on its meaning is undoubtedly the correct interpretation and I stand
corrected.

Brit-Am Reply:
OK. Thank you. I appreciate your asking these questions. In fact we need you and
others to do so. We learn from them and important points become clarified
through them. My apparent sensitivity should be accepted as inherent. I was not
offended by your question but rather pleased at the opportunity to further
elaborate on this point. I also did not intend to offend you by my answer.
God bless you
Yair
PS. In the past we had raised the possibility that
A NATION AND A COMPANY OF NATIONS referred to Judah and the Ten Tribes but only
now have we confirmed this explanation through an analysis of the Hebrew text.
This to our mind helps confirm the Brit-Am Ten Tribes Movement outlook that the
division between the two halves of the Israelite Nation had a Divine Purpose
behind it.
This needs to be emphasized.
In the past there was the conception amongst Believers in our field that this
expression applied solely to Joseph. Others ignored it. We should come out of
our shell, become more orientated towards Judah and his place in Scripture and
ALSO compel (through persuasion and use of the sources) mainstream Christians to
relate to us.
The concept that Judah and Joseph are separate entities with different prophesied destinies should be considered an integral aspect of Scriptural understanding.

#2. Letters Concerning which Translation Brit-Am Should Use Other than the KJ/

===============================================
(a) From Eric Schendel
Re: Brit-Am Now no. 1387
Yair,
In 1833 the American linguist Noah Webster published a Bible that is very
faithful to the KJV (even includes the thou/ye singular/plural distinction) but
without the archaic words and expressions that sometimes make the KJV difficult
to understand. He based it on the KJV but went back to the original languages
to make his revisions. There have been a few later versions, too. I use the
1995 Revised Webster Bible (RWB). It is free and downloadable.

A modern translation that is free and downloadable (although with some minimal
copyright restrictions) is the NET Bible. It is not as literal as the KJV,
tending to be somewhat more interpretative, so it provides a contrast with the
KJV/Webster. However, what I really like about it are the really extensive and
detailed footnotes.

(b) Robert Smith
Subject: which bible
My name is Robert Smith e-mail is pigeonman@commspeed.net. For information
sake I and many of my friends believe the KJ version is the most incorrect,
inaccurate version written. The English language was changing between 1600 and
1611.
In my most humble opinion the two best are Restoration Scripture (study bible),
and the Sacred Scriptures (bethel edition).
Shalom Bob

Yair shalom,
As for me and my household, any version of the Bible other than the KJ would be
preferred.

3. New Article: The Yearning of Ephraim For Redemption

Extract:
Rabbi Kook says:
##The vital potentiality that is enclosed in Israel encompasses within it the
ability to acheive sanctity, purity of attitude, psychological purification, and
an eager readiness to receive the torrent of Divine Inspiration. Even though
external circumstances caused a blockage of the mental faculties and diminishing
of deeds the nature of body and soul has not entirely changed. There was a
mixing-in by which a portion of the Israelites became assimilated amongst the
peoples and swallowed up by them. This mixing of the blood by being taken in
amongst the Gentiles, caused a great fermentation. Due to the clarity and strong
surge of Israelite life-force the spirit of the Gentiles has been affected.
Consequently they have progressively been becoming more and more suited to
receive the appearances of Divine Light, of clear revelation and mental
lucidity. This phenomenon stands ready to increasingly make its appearance in
the world through the light of Israel that is progressing towards revival and
ascension. An inner push caused by a renewed [Israelite] spiritual approach
would cause all peoples to move forward.
This is a consequence resulting from the hidden ability of those who in ancient
times assimilated. [Their descendants] will be yearning and striving to declare
the name of Israel on their inheritance. This will be a goal they will feel a
need to achieve. The spiritual urge to Communicate with the Divine will
progressively enlighten the national spirit and increasingly come to dominate
it. Eventually they will be able to reach complete enlightenment through the
Supreme Light of the Word of God. This will out-shine in its glorious perfected
appearance all the darknesses of the world.##
