hammerF:Pazienza is well-versed in history. I get what he was trying to say. Ancient Hebrews were not light-skinned as you have them today. They were black people, being related to/brothers to the ancient Egyptians who were also dark-skinned. One clue to this is when Herod sought to kill all little and newly-born hebrew males and Joseph and his wife were asked to go to Egypt and hide. Now as of the time of Herod, the Egyptians were known to still be black. Why would Joseph and his entire family be asked to go hide in a predominantly black country if they weren't black themselves? How does that make sense if they were white as the modern day jews? Would a white man escaping being caught hide in a black country where his skin color makes him stand out? No. Instead, a white man runs to a predominantly white country to hide. Same for a black man who would escape to a black country where he blends in easily. A white man doesn't hide in a country where it is full of blacks where he stands out and will be obviously detected easily. Joseph wasn't asked to run to nearby Jordan, nor modern-day Iraq nor Iran etc but to far-away Egypt in Africa. Egypt, being mostly black as of the time of herod, and Joseph escaping to the country to hide for many years and remain undetected all those years is an indication that the ancient Egyptians and Hebrews looked the same skinwise/racially. That should tell you something. Another example is when Joseph, the hebrew, was raised in Egypt and grew up to be a governor in Egypt and the Egyptians could not tell his was Hebrew/Non-Egyptian, the reason most likely being that both groups must have been the same racially for Joseph to grow up in the house of Pharoah as an Egyptian while still being Hebrew ancestrally. Nigerian Christians need to begin to reason certain things. |

pazienza:No dat is not wat am saying. People in the middle east are not caucasian, they are Mediterranean looking with abit of melanie in their skin. They probably looked like this. That is somewhere in the middle between white and black. They can easily go either way.

bigfrancis21:bigfrancis21 did u follow wat i was explaining? |
| Re: Some Igbo Words That Are Same Meaning With Hebrew by pazienza(m): 3:31pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
bigfrancis21:Exactly. If at all Ndiigbo are related to Hebrews, then it must be the ancient Hebrews who were of darker hue, and not the current Caucasians occupying Palestine. But what we see with Igbos that promote this Igbo Jew history, is a desperate attempt to link us with the current Caucasians occupying Palestine. I have no problem with us identifying with the current Caucasians occupying Palestine, as they are a very powerful group who had suffered persecution at the hands of their hosts all over the world because of their spirit of excellence and yet in the end, found a way to make themselves strong enough today to protect herself from those who hate them and return their hate in million folds to them. And even today are still surrounded by bitter enemies that seek nothing but their total annihilation from the surface of the earth. I understand why the average Igbo would like to be linked with Israel, but we can do that without tampering with our own history. That's just my opinion, anyway. |

hammerF:Of course I did. To me, ancient Hebrews would look more like the Ethiopians, not like the image you posted. That image does not have any negroid racial features, despite being brown-skinned. The negroid ancient Egyptians, with whom the ancient Hebrews resembled, can still be found in lower Egypt till today and they are negroes, living in mostly the rural areas of Egypt. https://www.atlantablackstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Modern-Black-Egyptians.jpg |

pazienza:They are not occupying Palestine, they merely took back their land that was forcibly taken from them through war, in fufilment of the word of God. Anyway, in the bible, God did say he will scatter dem amongst nation of the earth but at his own appointed time, he will bring dem back together. https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/God-Scattering-Israel |

bigfrancis21:U could be right, but then, their location is the midde of the world, they would have certainly mixed with other more lighter people a stone throw away. Even the Ethiopian u quoted look like the picture I posted. |
| Re: Some Igbo Words That Are Same Meaning With Hebrew by hammerF: 3:48pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
bigfrancis21:Here is an Ethiopian, Haile Selassie. His looks are very close to my example.

In addition to the two Josephs mistaken as Egyptians, Moses and Paul, Hebrews, were mistaken severally to be Egyptians. Quoting from the Christian bible: Paul: "And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? Art not thou (Paul) that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar... But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew" (Acts 21:37-39). Moses: "Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? And they said, an Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds..." (Exodus 2:19). |

hammerF:Modern day Ethiopians may have been mixed with Arabs and co. Thus some racial features of them you see may not be their original looks. |
| Re: Some Igbo Words That Are Same Meaning With Hebrew by hammerF: 5:06pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
bigfrancis21:Dat is precisely wat i am saying. The Arabs and Co have always been around. Mind u Isreal was not in Africa, they had to cross the red sea into the middle east to reach the promise land. Igbo and Ethiopia have alot in common, aside the yellow skin prevelant amongst them. They trace their origin to Isreal. |
| Re: Some Igbo Words That Are Same Meaning With Hebrew by hammerF: 5:09pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
Also, I think Nnamdi Kanu is right. Read this bible passage and tell me if everything u read reflects wat Igbo people and Isreali are presently suffering. Y do we have baby factory? Igbo are bench warmers jumping from yoruba church to yoruba church. U are suppose to lead worship, but rather u have focused on wealth and turned away from, God, and dat is y we are suffering. Notice the Hebrew me at the bottom of the passage. That was how it appeared in the link. read from the bolded. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+28&version=NIV Deuteronomy 28New International Version (NIV) |

Let me break it up This one appears to reference the Biafra War. 53 Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. 54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities. |

Colonialism and Imperialism 49 The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young. 51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined. 52 They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you. |

This one is with regards to dispossession of properties. OK, it can only happen outside Igbo land, but Nnamdi Kanu said a time will come wen it will happen in Igboland. 30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. 32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. 34 The sights you see will drive you mad. 35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head. |

Baby Factory in igbo land points to problems having the fruit of the womb. 18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. |

bigfrancis21:So as u can see with this evidence, they lived and interacted with the Arabs and Co as u put it. That is y i said on return into Africa, dey would have been light skinned, not dark. |

emmysoftyou:The Hebrew words are wrong or not the right translations. There's no such thing as Chi in Hebrew so why would somebody lie and say "Chema" is God knows in Hebrew, Chima isn't even God knows in Igbo. |

Shezhawt:There are no tigers in Africa, agu is leopard. |
| Re: Some Igbo Words That Are Same Meaning With Hebrew by bigfrancis21(mod): 8:16pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
Shezhawt:Tigers are native to Asia. In ancient times, our forefathers did not know tigers, only leopards. Thus they gave names to only the animals they encountered. Thus, agu = leopard. However, the modern term now has expanded to also mean tiger. |

This would have been funny if it wasn't so sad. So basically someone just sat down with a Bible and picked out Biblical names that sound close to some Igbo words; and without caring to find out what the names mean in Hebrew just assumed that they share cognatic relationship with the Igbo words. Well, I have bad news. None of the Hebrew words there have the same meaning with their Igbo 'look-alikes'. Adah means 'adornment' not 'first daughter'. Ahi means 'brother', not 'market'. Aziza means 'powerful', not 'broom'. Agur means 'collector/gatherer', not 'leopard'. Genesis is not even a Hebrew word; it is Greek. At least learn how comparative linguistics work before coming up with this type of stuff. The Hebrew (whether Ashkenazi or Sephardic or Mizraic or whatever race it was that went by that name in ancient times) is/was not your brother. Your kin are closer home. |
