B'ar Daw'ida tribe.
Kenya is ancient Caanan, the real land of Israel. 🙂Hebrew is anglicised Bantu languages. Let's begin with Hebrew being anglicised Bantu languages and old Swahili. The name Yehuah means " he is". Ye huwa is Swahili for "he is/ he's present." Yeshua hamashiach is also from Swahili word " ye huwa hamasia" meaning he's inspiration/inspires/knowledge/ imparts knowledge. Ruachoth is from Swahili word "Roho" meaning spirit, Tisha B'Av, Tīšʿā Bəʾāv; 'the ninth of Av', is an annual fast day in Judaism;. "Tisa" is Bantu for number "nine". Sabbath from Bantu word "Saba" meaning "seven". Matta (staff) from Bantu word "mzatta", mayim (water) from bantu word "maji/mayi/mai/machi", Gihon from Bantu word "kighono", Menorah from Bantu word "minara", Shofar for Bantu word "shirva", Bereshit (beginning) from bantu word "mbere/ bere/ mbele/ imbiri", Ben (children of) from Bantu word "b'en/ beni", Jacob from Bantu word "kaba" meaning fight/ beat, Manasseh from Bantu word "manose"meaning "to give and forget", Judah from Bantu word "whuda" meaning man of war, Isaac from Bantu word "seka" meaning laughter. Shema Israel wrongly translated as "hear Israel" is from Swahili word "Sema" which correctly translated is "proclaim Israel!", Yasharel from Swahili word "Ya ishara" meaning of promise/oath/ a sign, Moab from Bantu word "mwab' meaning nephew, Aram from bantu word "ahlamu/w'alamu/mlamu" meaning in law, Ammon (ben-Ammi) from bantu word "ben-wammi" meaning our cousins, Babylon from Bantu word "b'ab'elwa" meaning fighting/ misunderstanding, mizraim from Bantu word "mizi ra iwi/ mizi ra isi" meaning two cities, Jebusites from Bantu word jeb'usi meaning "dark/blackened/ burnt", Sirah from Swahili word "hasira" meaning anger, Boker (morning) from Bantu word "b'uka" and uncountable more...🙂There's more. In Kenya is the b'ar Daw'ida tribe (house of David, tribe of Judah/Benjamin) and the Sabaot tribe (Tribe of Reuben/Chesubiny) Luhya tribe ( tribe of Judah), Talai clan of Kingmakers (part of Levi), Mijikenda (tribe of Dan - The founding of Mombasa is associated with one of them, Mwana Mkisi. According to legend, Mwana Mkisi is the original ancestor of Mombasa's oldest lineages within Thenashara Taifa (or Twelve Nations). Families associated with the Twelve Nations are still considered the original inhabitants of the city. Samson (Fumo Liyongo) was also their legend who was killed by the Philistines in Faza- renamed Gaza in modern Israel), Kikuyu (Judah/Benjamin/Levi), the Nandi (Naphtali), the Kamba (Simeonites), just to mention a few. They have also taken names of places in Kenya and used them in the imitation Jerusalem and Israel in the Middle East. Nazareth comes from bantu word Nyanza/Nyasa (meaning lake) and Reth ( meaning King). The people are known in the bible as Nazarenes. Jesus was a Nazarene but is wrongly addressed as Jesus of Nazareth instead of Jesus the Nazareth.(King from Nyanza). All places associated with Jesus are located in Kenya even his tomb. The area where Jerusalem stood is designated UNESCO world heritage site and uninhabited. Other places include Kericho (Jericho) which was the provincial outpost of king Eglon. Mt Elgon on the border of Kenya and Uganda is named after him (and where Moses climbed to Pisgah (Wagagai) to get a view of Caanan /Kenya). Eglon was killed by Ehud a left handed man. Archaeological evidence of the Elementaita area has proven the Ehud story. There's Gilgil (Gilgal) which is a military barracks to date. It's also where Joshua circumcised the Israelites after crossing the Jordan (River Nzoia initially Yoya which is still a roaring river impassable during flooding and it's surrounding plains heavily forested and a paper milling area). Archaeological evidence proves the circumcision story. There's Mt. Maragoli (mount of olives) which still has the necropolis (mungoma caves), where important people were buried on its border( they can't really find the necropolis in modern Israel. They don't think important people could have been buried where they identified it). There's potter's field, Eldama ravine (renamed Akeldama in modern Israel) where the spirit of death still hovers, there's Samaria (initially Shomrom) from bantu word shmromko meaning "steep and hilly. It's where Sanballat built a temple on the highest hill for Israelites in the northern kingdom. 🙂The place is today known as Sambalat and the temple replaced by a church known as the church in the sky - Wewo. There's the Rift Valley (valley of Jehoshaphat/Kidron valley) at the end of which is Ongata-Rongai (renamed en-Rogel in modern Israel) to the south. Then there's Dar and Faza coastal cities (renamed Dor and Gaza in modern Israel). Ancient Israelite towns extended into northern Tanzania and eastern Uganda. 🙂These are just but a few of all the locations that have been renamed in Israel when it was created in 1948. The temple in Middle East Jerusalem was destroyed in 73CE. The real Jerusalem and temple were destroyed in 70CE. The Middle East Jerusalem was an imitation of the real Jerusalem in Kenya and built in what was then the Heliopolis of Egypt. Some Levites from real Jer😂usalem were taken to minister there. Israelites who moved to Egypt and other converts worshipped in this temple. It was built like a fort and later used by Romans. This is why a wall still stands to date. The real Jerusalem was completely destroyed and is still a haunt for jackals and trodden by gentiles (tourists) as it's been designated a UNESCO world heritage site (Aberdares Mountain Range). Some Israelites from the middle East Jerusalem were later taken to the Carribbean. This is possibly why the Lemba and Igbo claim Middle East heritage because they moved to Africa from there. They may have been real or converted Hebrews. The East African and other Bantu culture is Hebrew culture. Some like the Sabaot (tribe of Reuben) are today known as Kalenjin (Nilotes) because of their assimilation with caananite tribes that were never completely destroyed. This is why they considered Kenya for Jewish settlement in 1903 but the ones to be resettled weren't black. 😑It would have been scandalous.
The bible says in Genesis 13 that Abraham travelled south from Egypt.🙂 That would mean into Sub Sahara Africa. Attention is drawn to two towns in Kenya (south of Egypt), Kericho and Gilgil. Jericho is mentioned briefly in the book of Judges, which says that Jericho served as a provincial outpost for Eglon the King of Moab who held Israel under tribute for 18 years (Judges 3:13). In 1 Chronicles 19:5, King David sent word for his mistreated delegates to remain in Jericho until their beards regrew.🤔 In 2 Kings 2:4-18, Jericho appears to have been the home of a “school of the prophets" Kericho is a town in Western Kenya. Western Kenya was before the drawing up of boundaries by colonists, a part of the Buganda empire which extended into Naivasha and the rift valley of Kenya. A group of prophets known as Orkoiyot and oloibon 🙇lived in the region of Kericho. In 1899, Theodore Hertzl travelled to Kenya to make contact with the Orkoiyot probably believing them to be the levites. This information has been kept secret. 🙂In the bible, Jericho (Kericho) was the provincial outpost for the king of Moab, Eglon. Moab (mwab') in Bantu language means nephew/uncle. When Abraham's and Lot's herders bickered. Abraham asked Lot to choose the part of land he wanted... Gen 13 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan🙂, that it was well watered every where, It's said that the area was heavily forested. It still is and a paper milling region Where Lot, Abraham's nephew settled became known as the land of Moab (land of my nephew). 🙇Eglon the king at the time in Moab, made Jericho (Kericho )his outpost. The mountain at the current border of Kenya and Uganda is named after this king as Mt. Elgon. In colonial and recent times, Uganda claimed that it's territory was given to Kenya. Kericho is situated along fault lines of the great African rift valley.🤔 The walls of Jericho came tumbling down. God used plate tectonic movement to achieve this and give victory to Israel. To this day, we still have such movements causing destruction to building the most recent being this year. In the bible Gilgal is in close proximity to Jericho and to its East just as Gilgil is to Kericho. 🙂Gilgal was their first camp in Caanan. It's also here that God instructed Joshua to make knives and circumcise the Israelites upon crossing the Jordan into Caanan and from where they launched their military attacks on caananite tribes (it still is a military camp today), 🗡️taking Jericho as the first city in Canaan to be defeated. They had just been through a harrowing journey. Joshua made stone flint knives to circumcise the israelites, believed to have been 2m people at the time of leaving Egypt. Archaeological evidence of the Elementaita area revealed... The sheer number of handaxes found at Kariandusi prompted notions that it had been a factory for Acheulean handaxes. At Kariandusi it is common to find handaxes with little to no edge wear. This also helps contribute to the idea that Kariandusi was once a factory site: if it was a factory site, these axes would be created on site and then passed out or shipped to different communities around Kariandusi. 😑There had been no attempt whatever to work out the culture sequence although several archaeologists had recognised the existence of several distinct phases. 🙂This site was discovered by Louis Leakey in a 1928 expedition in the exposed Kariandusi riverbed. Leakey graduated St. John's College, Cambridge in 1926 with some of the best grades in his graduating class. Due to his success, St. John's awarded Leakey a research grant for his first East African Archaeological Expedition. When this site was discovered and initially researched, the finds were sent to museums all around the world (as was common at the time). However, because the finds were not wholly cataloged, there is no comprehensive list of all finds from Kariandusi. 😑To understand the scope of the assemblage, consider that Cambridge University alone has over 250 handaxes from Kariandusi. Some of the statements made in connection with the discovery in Kenya were astonishing and the true significance of many of the discoveries had not been realised at all. The Moabites king Eglon was killed by Ehud. It is said that King Eglon troubled the Israelites for 18 years until Ehud, a Benjamite ( B'en Njama) 🗡️and left handed soldier killed him. 🙂A 1997 archaeological research project, led by Laura Phillipson, analyzed about 250 Kariandusi handaxes for signs of handedness. Phillipson's team focused on 54 handaxes that appeared to have been used the least, with the least amount of wear on the edges, and analyzed the hand-hold spots on each specimen. Based on how comfortable a handaxe was to hold in either the left or right, 6 of the samples were proved to be left-handed. In contrast to the situation in modern Israel, many archeologists have abandoned the idea that Joshua carried out a conquest of Canaan similar to that described in the Book of Joshua, seeing Jews instead as indigenous Canaanites who developed a monotheistic religion over time because of lack of evidence.🙂

I love this concept, kind of a Pan-African choir. They could use some practice pronouncing the Xhosa language, but this is to be expected for Australians singing in several different languages! (Swahili is easy enough to pronounce, but Xhosa and Shona offer some challenges.)
Beautiful song
Muito lindo, oremos pelos nossos irmãos africanos e por toda a humanidade na terra. Deus perdoa os nossos pecados.
