1. Remember Your Kin

[Genesis 37:16] AND HE SAID, I SEEK MY BRETHREN: TELL ME, I PRAY THEE, WHERE THEY FEED THEIR FLOCKS.
Joseph sought his brethren. Today, the task of all of us is to seek our Tribal brethren. An individual can fulfill his inner self best by identifying with his ancestors and kin.

2. Orjan Svensson: Scandinavian Mythology
THE REALM OF THE DEAD IN OLD SCANDINAVIAN MYTHOLOGY
In Old Scandinavian mythology the giantess Hel was ruler in the realm of the dead. Hel is the source of the word HELL and I believe that it corresponds to SHEOL in Hebrew meaning the place of the dead. I've seen many cases where an 'SH' becomes 'H' thus "Sheol" becomes "Hell" and the Hebrew "Sh" is converted to "H". Hel (say the Scandinavians) had been cast down to Nifelheim (the kingdom of coldness) by Odin, and there she ruled over nine worlds. The people who had died and thus come to Nifelheim were primarily those who had died because of old age or sickness. The Vikings preferred to die in battle. Both those in Nifelheim as well as those who died in battle could die what was called "the second death". Those who died the second death came to Nifelhel, which was situated below Hel, and further to seven other unknown underground worlds. I hereby suggest that the word Nifel which occurs in Nifelheim and Nifelhel may mean falling and be the same word as the Hebrew word NaFaL which means to fall, because these were kingdoms in "hell" into which persons "fell" at death. In Hebrew the word "Niphel" came to denote giant but the "Niphelim" or giants also became linked in Jewish mythology with ghosts and world of the dead. A connected word is "Niphal" which means an aborted fetus. In Scandinavian myths, Nifelheim is a cold place. The ship of death was however owned by Muspell, a cosmic fire-giant in the world of fire that was known as Muspellsheim. Muspell or "muspille" as it was known in Old High German generally represents the powers of doom and end-of-the-world in Germanic myth. Muspell therefore maybe is related to the Hebrew word for judgement "MiSHPaT".

THE HOLY RIVER OF LEIPT AND ITS HEBREW ORIGIN
Leipt was the name of a holy river in Old Scandinavian mythology. The word Leipt meant "flashing" (of lightning) in Old Scandinavian. It could therefore be related to the Hebrew word LaPID meaning "flaming torch".

"SHUNI" THE SON OF GAD HAS A NAME MEANING "QUIET" AND "PEACEFUL" IN OLD SCANDINAVIAN AND IN HEBREW!!
In "The Tribes" (by Yair Davidiy) it was demonstrated how most of the Swedes descend from Gad and how the Svea who were one of the major peoples who settled in Sweden were also known as "Suioni". This name "Suioni" is a form of Shuni, which was one of the clans of Gad. According to one of my Hebrew-English dictionaries the Hebrew proper name SHUNI (SHin-Vav-Nun-Yod) (a son of Gad, see Gen. 46:16) has the etymological meaning "quiet". This name resembles the Swedish proper name Sune, earlier spelt Suni (some of the male Vikings also had that name). Suni in Old Scandinavian meant both "son" and "peacemaker". Maybe it could also be said to mean "peaceful man". Thus we possibly have SHUNI = "quiet" in Hebrew and SUNI = "peaceful" in Old Scandinavian, i.e. in effect, they both have the same meaning!! Some Israelite Tribes pronounced "sh" as "s," -for instance, the Tribe of Ephraim said "Siboleth" instead of "shiboleth" (Judges 12;6).

4. Who is NOT Israelite?
From: Suzy
Hello Yair, I agree with your teaching, I read and reread everything sent to my email box, but I am confused about ,who is not Israel, I understand that the children of Ishmael, the Arabs are not, so does this leave all other peoples, possibly, from one of the tribes ? Thanks

Sue

Answer:
Brit-Am has a Mandate to spread knowledge of the whereabouts today of the Lost Tribes of Israel. The overwhelming majority of these tribes are to be found in Western Nations such as Canada, the USA, Ireland, the UK, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Israel, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Historically other groups were scattered throughout the world especially in various parts of Europe but most of these have since moved into one or other the states listed above. People from other parts of the world who identify with us probably belong to us. We cannot say for sure what percentage of the countries listed above are of Israelite descent. In some cases it may be a predominant proportion and in other cases it may be far less. Also we cannot point to an individual "Gentile" from anywhere and say for certain that they are Israelite. We can say that if they come from a certain area and more or less fit certain criteria then they may well be of Hebrew descent.
We believe we have a Mandate to spread our message. We also believe that those to whom our message says something feel so for a reason.
There will come a time (maybe soon) that things will become much clearer. In the meantime we have to spread our message as well as we can.

We have discussed related questions in the past:
