Washes now negroes are so americanized that worry not for their color one would forget that they ever came from africa that worry not for their color one would forget that they ever came from africa and now it’s time to get into the word so let’s pick up where we left off
Last week we had a bit of a heavy ending covering deuteronomy 28 and we were addressing whether or not the group of slaves during the transatlantic slave trade taken from west africa brought over to america were those simply another group of slaves being that slavery has been prominent throughout the ancient world
Even up until that time or specifically was that israel these were the questions posed and so we’re going to pick up right there and i want to open up with three lines of thinking regarding the hebrews and the slaves of the west african slave trade three lines of thinking you
Will definitely find yourself in one of these three categories number one if you believe deuteronomy 28 is referring to the africans of the transatlantic slave trade then you also have to believe that the negro in this country this one’s heavy if you believe this the negro in this country brought slavery on themselves
Now i was very articulate last week let me continue to be that articulate this week so that we make sure no one said pastor price said blacks in america brought slavery on themselves that is not what i said pay attention to the conditional word if you if you believe deuteronomy 28 is referring
To the africans of the transatlantic slave trade then you if you believe that also have to believe that the negro in this country brought slavery on themselves and as i stated last week there would be some blacks that would take offense to that that’s for sure number two our second line of thinking
If you’re unsure you’re unsure and then number three if you don’t if you don’t if you don’t believe blacks in america brought slavery on themselves then you don’t believe blacks in america are israel i’m speaking to the church that’s that’s my primary target audience and so these lines of thinking are specifically
For believers in the word of god and then there may be some i didn’t write this down some of you may say it doesn’t really matter to me pastor i know that in christ i’m free i’m delivered i’m redeemed and that’s all that’s important to me and if so
That’s fine we’re going to still continue our investigation i want to highlight two of the four questions that i brought up last week number three and four which read number three or were all the slaves captured by europeans west african jews who were betrayed by their fellow west africans
Because of their slight facial distinctions and to ensure that they the non-west african jews remain free or or and number four if three is accurate does that mean every slave brought over to this nation is a hebrew which would then beg the question is every descendant of said slaves a hebrew or do
We refer back to question one and assume there was a mix and last week we had asked was there a mix because we know for sure it can’t be refuted west african jews existed before the slave trade began they were present in west africa so was it possible that west
African jews and west africans non-jews were taken as well or are there some that believe all who were in the ebu tribe were jews some believe only somewhere so it depends on which view you take but once again what can’t be refuted it cannot be refuted it
Cannot be refuted there were jews in west africa having migrated from north africa having migrated from assyrian captivity present in west africa in nigeria in ghana in other parts of west africa before the slave trade began now four question number four was somewhat of a trick question that i used this bait
Last week for the content of today’s lesson today i believe that i will be able to prove that every slave taken from west africa was indeed a hebrew however i will not be proving proving that every slave taken from west africa was an israelite or a jew what yes
In the same breath i said i can prove they were all hebrews but we’re not proven they were all israelites or jews what’s the difference well we’ve gone over this in the lesson before while those terms may be synonymous today going back to ancient times and biblical times
There was a distinction between the three so let’s highlight the hebrews we’re gonna take a trip down memory lane and go over some scriptures that we have gone over before but i believe once again as i have hoped that every week thus far during this lesson has been eye-opening for you
Today we will continue that trend so let me say this one more time and then make your way to genesis 10 21. today i believe i’ll be able to prove every slave taken from west africa was indeed a hebrew but not proving everyone was an israelite or jew
One truth at a time family shall we begin outstanding genesis 10 21 let’s go over some verses we’ve gone over numerous times but that’s the wonderful revelation about the word of god you can read the same verse and pick up something different what you picked up last time genesis 10 21 and children
Were born also to shem genesis 10 this is the table of nations children were born also to shem and look who gets honorable mention here we don’t see this anywhere else in this particular genealogy in the table of nations we don’t see it with the office we don’t see it with ham
Why do we see it here present with him it says and children were born also to him the father of all the children of eber why does eber get an early mention here in chefs shems genealogy within the table of nations what’s so special what’s so unique about eber
We’re going to find out let’s continue on with that verse the brother of yahweh the elder or yahweh the oldest children were born also to shem the father of all the children of eber shem was the father of the children of many other of his sons in this line as a matter of
Fact i mean ebert wasn’t even his son eber was his great-great grandson so i mean all the other sons are overlooked five sons here in verse 22 and some grandkids and then eber so why is the bible identifying and pointing out that shem was the father of all the children of
Eber let’s look here at verse 24. in genesis 10 verse 24 as well as 25 it reads are faxed begot salah and salah begot eber there’s ibra again two eber were born two sons the name of one was peleg for in what for in his days the
Earth was divided and his brother’s name was jocton so in genesis 10 eber’s mentioned three times in verse 21 in verse 24 and in verse 25. let’s continue moving forward let’s take a look at genesis 11 and let’s get to verse 14. and we’re going to notice
It’s even more specific because in verse 10 it reads this is the genealogy of shem and then we drop down to verse 14 and what do we see here it says salah lived 30 years and begot eber okay remember genesis 10 21 said that sin was the father of all the children
Of eber here we are in the following chapter genesis 11. and it reads in the 10th verse this is the genealogy of shim well wait a minute well wait a minute i i didn’t i just read about the genealogy of shem in uh genesis chapter 10 what’s the
Difference between the two well you’ll notice that in this genealogy it only deals with one of shem’s son shem had five sons here it’s our faxed in verse 11 who’s highlighted and that’s how we get to eber in verse 14 but but shim had shem had four other sons he had a rom
He he had uh alam he had uh hit asher he had lewd so aram the father of syria luth the father of lydia alam the father of the elamites as well as persia and asher the father of assyria how come arfaxid is the only one mentioned in this specific genealogy here
In genesis 11 it’s because by way of our facts it comes eber and remember genesis 10 21 highlighted eber why because eber by way of him and the line that continues through him brings us to abram who would become abraham the patriarch of israel abram doesn’t come by way of alam he
Doesn’t come by way of asher he doesn’t come by way of lewd or by way of haram but specifically of our faxed and who does our facts that give us our facts it gave us two sons era and kased from cassette we get the casdites also known
As the chaldeans and from era we get er so er of the chaldeans comes from era and kased who comes from our faxed and wasn’t that abram’s native land yes it was so verse 14 genesis 11 salah lived 30 years and begot who eber after he begot eber salah lived 400
And three years and begot sons and daughters you’ll notice this genealogy reads like seth’s genealogy in genesis 5. verse 16 eber lived 34 years and he begot plague now notice in genesis 10 uh we’re told that eber begot peleg and begot jocton but jocton’s not mentioned here whereas genesis 10 was about introducing
Us to uh the entire family son specifically uh of these specific individuals in the table of nations genesis 11 is dealing with a more specific genealogy that brings us to abram which eventually brings us to israel and the 12 tribes of israel so look at 14
Through 17 again salah lived 30 years he begot eber after he begot eber salah lived 403 years and begot sons and daughters eber lived 34 years and begot peleg and then after he begot peleg iber lived 430 years and he had more sons and daughters now what do we remember about
Peleg peleg means divided as well as earthquake peleg means divided as well as earthquake but here’s something that’s even more interesting we have never defined eber up until today in strong’s concordance eber means the region beyond or the land beyond it’s as if prophetically eber was pointing to the promised land
Now the english standard version study bible says this regarding eber in genesis 10 from the outset this is the esv study bible commentary from the outset shem’s great grandson eber is selected for special attention being mentioned even before shem’s own sons are named eber was mentioned before his grandfather arfaxed in genesis 10.
Why well we already established that by way of eber we get abram but we can make a case for our facts in and say by way of our facsid came abram so it would seem that our facts it could get mentioned before his grandson eber and yet he wasn’t because there is more
To eber’s story so once again esv study bible says regarding eber and genesis 10 from the outset shem’s great-grandson eber is selected for special attention being mentioned even before shems owns uh shem’s own sons are named the designation hebrew the word hebrew the designation hebrew is derived from eber
That’s interesting and you’ve heard me share this before the designation eber is deri a hebrew is derived from eber by way of underlining his importance readers are informed that he called one of his sons peleg which means division for in the days or in his days the earth
Was divided this is probably an allusion to the tower of babel incident but it’s not only an allusion to the tower of babel account it’s an allusion to pangaea the super continent in the days that peleg was born the bible says the earth was divided so it also speaks to
That massive earthquake that separated the land masses or separated the large land mass into many land masses now you’ve heard me share with you before about the account this is also why eber gets mentioned this is also why his name gives us the designation hebrew you’ve heard me share with you before
About the account in which eber didn’t allow his family to participate in the building of the tower and therefore his language the original language was preserved and it therefore made him the father of the hebrew language and people so up until the tower of babel biblically speaking for sure
Post sin now there are some theories that the language in the garden of eden was known as the adamic language or the edinica language a language that was on a higher plane a higher level there are parts of me that can buy into that but for sure for sure post sin
The world spoke one language up until the tower of babel biblically speaking from a biblical lens that language was hebrew everyone was speaking hebrew who knows that they even had a name for it they were simply speaking the same language oh but when it was time to build the tower
And nimrod said we can pull this off because we all understand one another’s speech what did god do god said they about to pull this off let us go down there and do what confound the language so they don’t understand one another’s speech let’s confuse the hebrew all right but this specific historian
And i’ve never credited anyone for this information here but it was 13th century muslim historian abu al-fadah that noted this that noted this and i mentioned this before some of the scholars that i have studied during this lesson they are islamic scholars and they are actually
Some of the best scholars and the reason why they’re good at what they do is because well the quran quotes the bible you can’t study the quran without studying the bible you can study the bible and not need to study the quran the bible does not quote from the quran
But the quran quotes from the bible that means islamic scholars naturally have to somewhat to a degree become biblical scholars as well so uh so so so highlighting them doesn’t mean that i’m shifting over to islam or changing religions all right it simply means i am highlighting credible historians uh and referencing
Uh their notes their information their research their study so eber so everyone’s speaking the same language god confuses the language ibra says ah not my family ask for us we’re gonna serve the lord well the hebrew language was preserved by way of his absence from that rebellious undertaking
And therefore he became the eponymous father of the hebrew language and by way of the hebrew people that is why eber gets special mention now look at genesis 11 and drop down to verse 26 drop down to verse 26 you’re already in the chapter drop down to verse 26
And what do we see here remember by way of shem by way of our faxes by way of salah by way of eber whose name means the region beyond who is the eponymous father of the hebrew language hebrew people hebrew canal because of the confounding of the
Languages hebrew can trace its origin to eber before that it was just the language everyone was speaking verse 26 we’re in this specific line of shem that brings us who now tara lived 70 years and he begot abram nahor and haran verse 27. this is the genealogy of
Terror why does he get special mention well because he gave birth to the patriarch abram by which would come isaac jacob and israel therefore israel this is the genealogy of terra or terah he begot abram nehor and haran haran begat lot and haran died before his father terah
In his native land in ur of the chaldeans remember ur of the chaldeans comes from ura and kased which come from arfaxid which of course come from shem in ur of chaldea or caldea was southeast from babylon in the babylonian region it was a part of babylonia okay
So what do we have here abram is on the scene now by way of eber by way of shem what does that mean for us going back to this claim that which i said i believe i’ll be able to prove this day that those of west africa are hebrews
Why do you say that pastor let’s continue go to chapter 16 genesis 16 we’re going to spend all our time in genesis genesis 16. and let’s take a look at something most of us probably didn’t consider because we see the word hebrew and israel or israelite and jew as
Synonymous terms and yes today in 2021 those words for the most part are synonymous but they each have an origin and based on their origin they also thus produce a distinction from each other so let’s look at that hebrew 16. and what i said i believe i’ll be able to prove will
Make sense later on in the lesson what do we have here genesis 16 verse 15 we know the account of haggard the egyptian maidservant the northeast african wife of abram given to him by his wife sarai verse 15 says so hagar bore abram a son and abram named his son whom hagar bore
Ishmael abram was 86 years old when hagar bore ishmael to abram so here’s his first son he was not the son of promise that would be isaac although god did give a word to haggar a word which god’s word is promised and that promise was from your son ishmael
Out of him haggar will come 12 princes god does promise that and that’s fulfilled we’re going to read that in genesis 25 in just a moment why am i bringing up ishmael right now because i want to point out something we most likely didn’t consider hagar gives abram a son ishmael
Where did abram come from torah terra who came from which line the line of shem the specific line of shem which gave us our faxeed which gave us salah which gave us eber fast forward gives us torah then gives us abram abram then gives us who well before he
Gives us isaac he gives us ishmael now according to strong’s concordance ishmael is the father or the progenitor of the arabian people he’s the progenitor of the arabian people but based on what we’re reading here in verse 15 and 16 ishmael is what ishmael is whatever his
Parents are and what is his mama his mama is egyptian so that means ishmael is part egyptian his father is what his father is kyle dean well caldea is where he was born but if we open up his dna what do we get we get eber we get hebrew that means
Ishmael is what ishmael’s whatever his daddy is and ishmael is whatever his mama is so here we have ishmael who is basically half hebrew half egyptian now ishmael was not the child of promise israel and the jews don’t come from ishmael right but ishmael was born before isaac he was born before jacob
And the hebrews were already here abram was a hebrew that means ishmael is hebrew and stay with me he’s hebrew an egyptian and would eventually father the arabian peoples now what’s so interesting about arabia in the scripture is that even going back to genesis chapter 10 that second child
Oh this is not accidental that second child of eber was joktin and jochen is also known as an arabian patriarch that would mean what that both peleg and jocton were whatever their father was and what was their father he was hebrew that means the arab people come from the hebrew people
In order to have the arabs arabians that which is arabic you must first have that which is hebrew both semitic languages there are some similar similarities in their languages both are written and read from right to left how is that because the origin is eber which means the origin is hebrew
So once again what is ishmael he’s half hebrew he’s half egyptian all right it doesn’t stop there look at his genealogy i said we were going to look at ishmael’s genealogy as well as esau’s genealogy and we’re going to look at them today so go to genesis 25 and find verse 12.
All right good old exciting genealogies isn’t that your favorite part of scripture so and so begets so and so beget so and so it’s it’s so repetitive that’s why i say i do my best to bring a little life to him family so that you’re not put to sleep
Genealogy of ishmael verse 12 genesis 25 this is the genealogy of ishmael abraham’s son whom haggar the egyptian sarah’s maidservant bore to abraham as we already established in genesis 16 verses 15 and 16 ishmael ishmael is half haggar half abram so he’s half hebrew and half egyptian much like joseph’s children
Verse 13 and these were the names of the sons of ishmael by their names according to their generations the firstborn of ishmael nabahat nabahath then khadar then add to be ill then mibsum now here’s what’s interesting about some of these names i always find these names interesting because of how they’re defined
I want to highlight just a few within the 12 this second child of ishmael the second child of ishmael by the name of kadar his name means dark very similar to kush meaning black now now not necessarily uh the color black although it speaks to the black skin as does
Kadar it speaks to his dark skin and it well makes sense does it not hebrew and egyptian hebrews and egyptians looked a lot alike didn’t they moses was mistaken for an egyptian paul was mistaken for an egyptian so they’re pretty much the same complexion they give us ishmael and one
Of ishmael’s kids kadar means dark going through this list again then uh hadar and then we have uh yatur nafish and kadema okay these were the sons of ishmael and these were their names by their towns and their settlements 12 princes according to their nations this is what god promised hagar
Verse 17 these were the years of the life of ishmael 137 years and he breathed his last and he died and was gathered to his people they dwelt from havilah oh i’ve seen havilah before i’ve seen havilah in two categories both ham and shem havilah seems to be associated with both ethiopia
And arabia as a matter of fact yemen which is south of arabia southeast is right at the tip of arabia yemen uh has mostly been made synonymous with havilah in the bible but of course when you look at that map you see that red sea there’s ethiopia there’s arabia both
Ham and shem give us shebas they both give us havilas so uh there is definitely some kind of connection media knights that’s what jethro was media knights were the same color as ethiopians black skinned so verse 18 they draw from javila as far as sure which is east of egypt as you go
Toward assyria he died in the presence of all his brethren this now is the genealogy of isaac abraham’s son abraham begot isaac isaac was 40 years old when he took rebecca as wife the daughter of bethuel the syrian of padan aram that’s how we know he’s syrian because aram gives us syria
So rebecca was syrian isaac takes a syrian wife jacob takes two syrian wives which means the twelve sons of israel are hebrew and syrian joseph who is hebrew in syrian marriage an egyptian woman gives us ephraim and manessa so they are syrian egyptian and hebrew verse 21 it says now isaac pleaded with
The lord for his wife latter part of 20 reads the sister of laban the syrian all right verse 21 now isaac pleaded with the lord for his wife because she was barren and the lord granted his plea and rebecca his wife conceived here’s the child of promise giving birth
To another child of promise all right this is isaac isaac was the child of promise and what does the scripture say here verse uh uh verse 22 but the children struggle together within her they were going at it and she said if all is well why am i like this
So she went to inquire of the lord and what did the lord say two nations are in your womb two peoples shall be separated from your body one people shall be stronger than the other and the older shall serve the younger so when her days were fulfilled for her
To give birth indeed there were twins in her womb and the first came out red probably like grandpa adam he was like a hairy garment all over gave birth to a little wolf little wolf cub like a hairy garment all over so they called his name esau afterward his
Brother came out and his hand took hold of esau’s heel which is why jacob’s name means hill catcher but his name also means supplanter he supplanted esau because of course by order of genealogy according to the culture of the day esau should have been the one who was blessed
But god in his what in his foreknowledge gives sarah the heads up i’m sorry rachel the head’s up rebecca goodness rebecca gives rebecca rachel was was jacob’s wife uh the lord gives rebecca the heads up about the two nations that are in her womb that will come from her body
One will be stronger than the other esau would be stronger than jacob the older shall serve the younger esau shall serve jacob we’re going to go to esau’s genealogy next and see the people that came from him and how those ice the heights of esau end up serving the ice of jacob
So looking at 26 again afterward his brother came out and his hand took hold of esau’s heel so his name was called jacob isaac was 60 years old when she bore them so the boys grew and esau was a skillful hunter kind of makes you think of nimrod
A man of the field but jacob was a mild man dwelling in tents and isaac loved esau because he ate of his game but rebecca loved jacob okay so if eber is hebrew and abram is hebrew and abram gives birth to ishmael then ishmael is hebrew and ishmael’s 12 sons are part
Hebrew like their father is part hebrew and if ishmael who was the half-brother of isaac is hebrew because his daddy abram was hebrew well then abram abraham who also gave birth to isaac also gives birth to another hebrew child isaac and by way of his union with the syrian rebecca
What do we have here in esau and jacob we have syrian hebrew boys here so esau ii was hebrew ishmael was hebrew isaac was hebrew jacob was hebrew esau was hebrew now ishmael and esau don’t give us israel but they were hebrew stay with me we’ll hang out in genesis a little bit
Longer let’s go to esau’s genealogy let’s look at esau’s genealogy make your way to genesis 36 we’re not going to read this entire chapter it’s a long chapter we’re just going to highlight some of the verses and we’re going to begin here with verses 1 through 14. we will read those
Straight through genesis 36 verse 1 and it reads now this is the genealogy of esau who was esau again esau was the child of isaac the oldest child of isaac and rebecca isaac was what he was hebrew and what was sarah she was hebrew natives of chaldea but children of evil therefore
Hebrew and as a matter of fact we could even make a case and say that that they were chao dean in that chaldea came from arfaxid who was in the specific line of shem that gave us abram but nevertheless uh esau is is what he saw as the child of isaac and rebecca
And what was isaac isaac was hebrew what was rebecca rebecca was syrian so esau and jacob are both hebrew and syrian this is esau’s genealogy notice the first verse says who is edom so edom whenever you see the word edom in scripture that’s esau matter of fact there are three words
When you see these three words in scripture it’s pointing to esau edom being the first we’ll highlight the others as we read through this chapter verse two esau took his wives from the daughters of canaan that was a no-no daddy did say don’t don’t pull don’t pull wives from from canaan
Right but esau esau felt neglected esau wanted to be acknowledged esau wanted to feel special he sold his birthright for stew and so like others who were forbidden to take wives from from canaan esau follow suit and he does the same thing some of uh jacob’s sons end up doing the same thing
Judah and uh simeon i believe judah and simeon or judah and reuben verse two esau took his wives from the daughters of canaan ada the daughter of elan the hittite alon the hittite the hittites came from heth and hittites were just one of the many groups of canaanites it says ahola bama
And the daughter of anna the daughter of zibian the hivite another specific group of canaanites and by smith oh look at that now this this is interesting here so notice what it says in verse two esau took his wives plural we get the mention of the first wife ada
Uh the second wife a holy boma and then verse 3 says basimeth ishmael’s daughter sister of nabahaf nabahath was the firstborn prince of ishmael now this is why this is so interesting because when you when you study ishmael’s name in strong’s concordance it says that ishmael very specifically
Is the progenitor of the arabian people but when you do esau’s name in strong’s concordance it reads that he is the progenitor of the arab people now wait a minute is there some difference is there some biblical difference between the arabian people and the arab people i don’t know could be
I mean jocton in genesis 10 is known as an arabian patriarch genesis 25 verses 1 through 4 we read it some weeks ago we’ll read it again today uh by way of katura comes jakshin and sheba and dadaan more arabian patriarchs more arabian children so is it possible that there is
Some difference between the arabian peoples and the arab peoples and eventually they became the same or are they both considered the progenitors because of this union that esau makes with ishmael by marrying ishmael’s daughter the sister of nabath see those 12 princes mentioned in genesis 25 were ishmael’s sons it didn’t
Mean ishmael didn’t have a daughter and he has a daughter and esau marries that daughter so now what does esau do esau who is edom right here makes a union between the and the ishmaelites by way of this marriage union could that possibly be how they’re both considered the progenitor or father
Of the arabian and arab peoples there’s a high chance that that’s the case all right verse four now ada bor eliphaz where have i seen this name eliphaz before that’s right if you’re familiar with the account of job eliphaz was one of his friends and as you can see
Eliphaz comes from esau which means eliphaz is an edomite job also was an edomite and his other two friends were you’re gonna see another name that is uh uh familiar to you as we continue on in this chapter now ada verse four bore eliphaz to esau and basimuth bore ruel
And ahola bama bore uh yush ya alam and kora i’ve seen that name cora before it’s not the rebellious korah who shows up later but a familiar name nevertheless these were the sons of esau who were born to him in the land of canaan verse six then esau took his wives his
Sons his daughters and all the persons of his household his cattle and all his animals and all his goods which he had gained in the land of canaan and he went to a country away from the presence of his brother jacob for their possessions were too great for them to dwell
Together we’ve read this before abram and lot and the land where they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock so esau dwelt in mount sierra esau is edom that’s what opens this chapter in verse 1 that esau is edom now it says that esau dwelt and mount saiyar
Esau is edom si er this is another name that becomes synonymous with esau like edom verse nine this is the genealogy of esau the father of the and mount sier these were the names of esau sons eliphaz the son of the dad the wife of esau
And reuel the son of basimeth the wife of esau watch this verse 11 and the sons of eliphaz were timon omar zepho this taman we also see in the book of job the temanites came from timon verse 12. now timna was the concubine of eliphaz esau’s son and she bore amalek
To elophas this is where the amalekites come from these were the sons of ada esau’s wife these were the sons of ruel naha zarah shema and mazah these were the sons of basimeth esau’s wife these were the sons of a holy boma esau’s wife the daughter of anna the daughter of
Uh uh uh uh zibian and she bore to esau yayush yalam and kora now we’re just going to highlight uh some verses in each of these sections of genesis 36 the first i want to look at 15 we’re just going to highlight verse 15 which reads these were the chiefs
Of the sons of esau the sons of eliphaz the firstborn son of esau were chief teman chief omar chief zepho chief kannada so you see this name omar you may know in omar you see omar has its root in esau or edom which has its root in what both syria
As well as hebrew this word chief if you’re reading the traditional king james version because it uses the king’s english and the language is more medieval you’ll see the word duke right so it would read duke taman duke omar duke zepho etc in the same section just drop down to verse 19
It says these were the sons of esau who is edom and these were their chiefs now i want you to look at verse 20 which reads these were the sons of sierra the horite who inhabited the land remember i said sierra would eventually become synonymous with
Esau as well this is where esau took up residence sierra was a horrorite so the horites became absorbed by the so now edom and sierra are both words synonymous with esau drop down to verse 30 and it reads chief deshaun chief azir chief deshaun uh these were the chiefs of the
Horowites according to their chiefs in the land of sea air chiefs being tribes now look at verse 31 just three more verses in this section verse 31 reads now these were the kings who reigned in the land of edom edomite kings now we’ve gone from chiefs slash dukes to kings
These were the kings who reigned in the land of edom before any king reigned over the children of israel because remember god intended for israel to be distinctly different than the rest of the nations the rest of the gentiles in the same chapter just drop down to verse 40
Which reads and these were the names of the chiefs of esau according to their families and their places by their names and then it gives you some names and then drop to verse 43 chief magdiel some of the some of the the remaining chiefs chief iram these were the chiefs of edom
According to their dwelling places in the land of their possession esau was the father of the edom sierra and idumia these three words become synonymous with esau now why did we highlight ishmael’s genealogy why did we highlight esau’s genealogy because of this specific point and that is
That these sons had to be what their daddy and their granddaddy was and that was hebrew and what am i doing i’m making right now a distinction between hebrew israel and jew as a matter of fact i’ll throw this out to you right now biblically speaking if we go in the
Order of scripture from genesis moving forward once we get to the jews who came from who judah you hadiths or eudites if you were an israelite that didn’t mean you were a child of judah you could have been you could have been a child of one of the other brothers
So if you were a jew you were an israelite biblically speaking but just because you were an israelite that didn’t mean you were a jew you’d have to be a jew only by coming from judah and it’s the same with hebrew all right if you are israelite you’re
Hebrew but if you’re hebrew that doesn’t mean you’re israelite and sure as heck doesn’t mean you’re a jew biblically speaking today in modern times all three words have become synonymous but they are not synonymous based on their origin remember remember when god told abraham i’m going to make
You the father of many nations israel would just mean one nation no he said many nations oh abraham is a whole lot of folks daddy so let’s look at genesis 25. remember once again let’s look at verse 1 genesis 25 1. remember once again hebrews showed up before israelites
Israelites showed up before jews yes today the words are synonymous they are used interchangeably but that’s not based on the order of scripture that’s just based on the days progressively moving forward the hebrew people were established early on specifically established by eber not participating in the building of the
Tower now we have a specific hebrew line the rest of the world they speak other languages but once the once the people peoples were scattered and god confounded the languages so they didn’t understand one another’s speech then eber was highlighted as the father of the hebrew people and that brings us
All the way to abram and then abram does what he gives us isaac and then isaac gives us jacob and then jacob’s name becomes israel and then he has 12 children and then we now have israelites you didn’t have any israelites before israel but you did have hebrew you’re following me
I’m imagining you all nodding yes and then israel has 12 children one of those sons happens to be he has more than 12 children but he has 12 sons one of those sons happens to be one by the name of judah and from judah you get the judaites or the eudites or
The jews now we have jews you don’t see the word jew until esther the book of esther mordecai the jew you’ll see the word before that isn’t that interesting so hebrews gives us israelites in israel israelites give us jews biblically speaking are you following me okay
So all we proved right now is that any son of abram any son of abraham is hebrew it’s part hebrew might be mixed with something else but there’s hebrew in them if they came from their daddy abram okay now let’s look at genesis 25 verse 1. now we’re going to highlight something
That we’ve already highlighted which was mind-blowing to me look at verse one abram again took a wife and her name was katura we get no history about katura in the scripture this is abram’s third wife where did this woman come from well going back to the ebu slave who became free
As well as educated olada equiano and in his interesting narrative in his autobiography in the first chapter olaudah begins to highlight the similarities between the ebu people and their practices and the practices of the jews and so he starts making these similarities it it’s as if a light goes off in him
And he has a running theory he has a running theory that quite possibly his people come from abram and then what does he do he comes across a legitimate real deal theologian by the name of john gill and john gill amongst others confirmed to olaudah that indeed africans as we know them
Came by way of abraham and his african wife we know hagar was african because she was egyptian but that’s not the african wife that john gill was talking about john gill was talking about this katura who’s an african woman and what does katura give abram or abraham who is hebrew isn’t he okay
So that means he’s about to have some more hebrew babies as a matter of fact he’s about to have some hebrew african babies verse two and she bore him zimran and jackson that’s an arabian patriarch madan another one father of the medine and then midian oh oh jeff throw zappora look at that
A union a union between a hebrew man who would be the father of israel and an african woman gives us the midianites jeff throw moses father-in-law in which moses married zipporah his midianite daughter and the medianites were just as dark as the ethiopians oh that makes a lot of sense now doesn’t it
Ishbach and shua jakshin bagashiba and dadaan we are familiar with the queen of sheba a specific queen who came into contact with solomon and we know they had a union has some kids sheba once again directly connected to arabia as well as ethiopia so there’s a hamidic and a semitic origin there
This isn’t the sons of dudan where ashereem let to seem and uh uh in lumen verse four and the sons of midian were a fa effer hanak which is the same as enoch abida and eldar these were the children of katura effer effer is the child that
Came as a result of this initial union between abraham and katura that the theologian john gill amongst other theologians highlighted that olauda equiano highlights in his book by way of effor or afer or aphra at ica to that you get a africa africa africa yeah john gill says by way of abraham
And his african wife katura comes this effort and history says that effort waged war against libya now here’s where it gets interesting i have just a couple seconds but i have to show you all of this could we throw up map four map four we’re gonna go in reverse order
Put up okay map four this is the world as known to the hebrews now if you you don’t even have to look at a lot just find uh uh uh ham’s name shim’s name and and yaffi’s name that’s all you have to do what you’re looking at you’re looking at arabia you’re
Looking at the horn of africa you’re looking at the red sea and that which is north of them smack dab in the middle there is kanan but but if you want a little more clarity let’s look at let’s look at math three map three will kind of open this up some
More let’s look at at map three and what do we see here in map three oh oh no that’s pretty clear that’s pretty clear i pretty much see hams nations i see shims nations and i see yafis nations yahweh north ham south shem right there in the middle notice
The portion of africa that is attributed to ham notice not all of africa is attributed to him only what appears to be north africa okay now quickly going back all right in our minds to the table of nations genesis 10 6 where we’re introduced to the sons of
Ham and the sons of ham give us who the son or ham gives us who ham gives us kanan we’re going to work backwards put mizraim kush all right now kanan gives us right there uh uh the levant which would become israel a semitic-speaking people hamidic origin but would become a semitic
Speaking people we have mizraim that’s all of egypt that’s north east africa you have cush that’s ethiopia that’s also northeast africa and he also gives us the horn of africa and then you have put put gives us libya but when i look on a map today west of libya is tunisia morocco algeria
Who’s responsible for those nations let’s throw up map number two please map number two see this is an old world map and if you look at africa notice it reads libya or africa in other words that entire northern part was libya notice that ham doesn’t give us any west african or south african
Peoples really doesn’t give us any east african he gives us northwest north and northeast that’s all he gives us where then would the nigerians come into play where would those of timbuk2 come into play what about south africa what about east africa where did they come from the bible is very intentional they
Didn’t come from put they didn’t come from ham but notice in these days put had all of that he had all of north africa in some ways he even shared land with mizrahim who was egypt and let’s look at this final map map number one and this will libya right there look at
That notice that on this map the remainder of africa isn’t even considered because if you look at the table of nations there’s nobody on the earth except noah his three sons and their wives the earth is now about to be repopulated and up until that point they
Hadn’t spread out across the known map it’s not until genesis 10 and the dispersal of the nations that unoccupied land eventually becomes occupied but because they’re smack dab in the middle of the fertile crescent in making their way to africa they only hit the northern part first
So ham only fathers north africa he didn’t father all of africa i submit to you based on john gill’s findings abraham would eventually go on to father the remainder of africa by way of effort and anyone who’s west african would then come out of effort and therefore that would make you hebrew
That’s what we’re highlighting today i want to look at this last thing and then we’re going to close there is a bible called the zondervan compact study bible now many of you have probably heard of zander zondervin before what’s so unique about this zondervan compact study bible which mind you
Black people didn’t put together i say that for a reason like john gill john gill noted theologian noted bible teacher expert in latin hebrew and greek john gill was white why would a white man remotely think that africans came from abraham and couture what does he what does he gain out of that
And the zondervin compact study bible makes a note it’s the only study bible that i’ve seen this it makes a note when it comes to ham in genesis 10. it says ham was the father of north africa ham was not the father of the negroes whoa why would the zondervin compact study bible
Believe for a second that ham didn’t father the negro people oh so that tells us that the group identified as negros were not just called negroes because they were black because isn’t negro or negro black and spanish yet the word negro would specifically apply to those that came over to this
Nation although they weren’t the only black people in the world there’s other black people the aborigines were black if there’s any pacific islanders watching you samoans and you you of tonga and fiji guess what y’all black yeah and i’m gonna go ahead and throw this out there too uh there are some east
Asian folk that’s black too whose eyes might be a little more slanted than ours but some of them are black i’ll be proving that over the next few weeks but all of them are not referred to as negro why is that let’s unpack that next week So You
