This link confirms nothing of the sort.

If you had looked up individually the words that make up the phrase "gur aryeh", you would have seen that it is not "gur" that means 'lion', but rather it is 'aryeh'.


http://www.kveller.com/jewish-baby-name/aryeh/


By elimination, the 'gur' part of the phrase probably means 'whelp'.

And by the way, the link says 'gur', not 'agur'; you jammed the article 'a' into the 'gur' to produce your 'agur'.

Ngozi123 these people are worth ignoring, i gave him a word and he took out the 'a' and then made it 'gur'.

Copy this passage into google search and tell us if it is gur or agur.

"[b]Andof Dan he said,Dan is agur aryeh(lion's whelp);he shall leap from Bashan." [/b]

What he fails to realise is that agur aryeh means lions cub.

They both mean Lion. So he is on a long thing, besides making me angry.

Here is a link to the modern bible. http://biblehub.com/deuteronomy/33-22.htm

I am tired of the envy from the Yorubas, it is too much, no other group in Nigeria is that intense on Igbo matter.

AjaanaOka:
Oh. Can't prove your points, so you're gonna settle for insult. Okay. That's my cue. Knock yourself out with your Hebrew fantasy.

U looking for prove? Even if u were provided with it, u will minus one letter or hide the evidence.
All the prove is right in front of ur face.

bayoadeyanju:
ezer: a help, helper...........................Culled from online Hebrew dictionary.


So my brother, Ezer in Hebrew is not Eze in Ibo. Stop spreading falsehood.

U people are mad, let me put it plain and simple.

Are u not the ones that said Philip Emegwali never provided the mathematical formula for the computer even after Bill Clinton confirmed it before the Nigeria National assembly?

Anything u say is lies from the bitterness of ur hearts. Bill Clinton from America made mistake, he dont know wat he is saying. hahahahaha!

And to those of u saying Agu is not Lion, u are seriously wrong.

Agu means lion and the word was used to denote Big Cat.

Obviously Lions were indigenous to Southern Africa but we did have Lions in west Africa, though not as much as the south.

The main Big Cat in west Africa (our neck of the woods is Leopard), our Ancestor used the word Agu to refer to Big Cats and dat includes Lion.

Till this day, majority of Igbo use the word Agu to refer to Lion.

Wake up, we are Hebrew.

Many of us dont even know where the word Igbo came from or wat it means. Heebo, Eboe, Igbo, Ibo.... it is Hebrew.

What does ezer mean in Igbo

Hebrew Ezer, Igbo Eze

Ngozi123:
'Ariah' is 'lion' in Hebrew, I've never seen "agur" translated as lion in Hebrew but it might still be correct. I'm unsure over the whole 'Hebrew' tag and don't like the fact that it's used to link us to the white Jews. Perhaps, if more Igbos were willing to state that we are descendants of black Jewish people, rather than the white ones then I'd be more open to it.

Hi! Words that old over time pick up other meaning. Besides translating dem will never be that straight forward becos the writing is not the same. We write in English, they write in Hebrew.

However, i found a link from the Orthodox Jewish Bible that confirms Agur is Lion. @AjaanaOka

Notice alot of killing in Benin, somebody said Edo is being used as a gun depot ahead of a possible attack on Biafra.

nengibo:
Isn't that the point of your post, to show[b] words with similar meanings & pronunciation btw Igbo & Hebrew[/b]?

Is dat not wat I showed u? wat more do u want?

ezeagu:
Ada is not an abbreviation of anything, it means first daughter, please don't twist Igbo traditions to suit this fantasy. Adah in the Jewish community means adornment, that has nothing to do with being a first daughter, Adah is not even pronounced like Ada, it's pronunced like 'A' da.

ezeagu:
So you believe you are a descendant of white men. What a sad joke.

So u missed my definition of Ada above ur post and who said the jews are white?

Ngozi123, come and see this.

nengibo:
Madonna once sang "you only see what your eyes want to see"
From Adah(adonment) to ada(first daughter) to adamah to ada mma

It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew אדם ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Akkadian adamu meaning "to make". According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew אֲדָמָה ('adamah) "earth".

Ezer or Eze is the one i find most intriguing.

Usages of 'ezer in the Old Testament show that in most cases God is an 'ezer to human beings, which calls to question if the word "helper" is a valid interpretation of 'ezer in any instance it is used. "Evidence indicates that the word 'ezer originally had two roots, each beginning with different guttural sounds. One meant "power" and the other "strength. https://godswordtowomen.org/ezerkenegdo.htm

Were u looking for literal translation after almost 2000 years apart?

The point here is that they use the name Ada in the same way the Igbo of Nigeria use it.

Ada is abrrievation of Adanma or Adanna OR Adah.

This indicates that the name have several meaning and usage.

Adanma means 'beautiful first daughter' Adanna means daddy first daughter.

The Hebrew tradition denotes that the name Adah means beautiful ornament or Adornment.

Traditionally the hebrew use the name Ada to reference first daughter like the biblical Adam reference first man. It is a girls name.

nengibo:
Black man always feeling inferior to foreign culture

U say Ada means Adornment or 'beautiful ornament.'?

Wat do Igbo mean by Adanma?

These words are too close to be separated.

Further, in hebrew tradition the name ADA is used for female to reference first daughter. This is gotten from the biblical Adam which references the First man. (Reference to Adam, the first MAN) ADA (1Corinthians 15:45)

An Unfaithful wife

Sure, that is y the baby came out white and not mixed race?

Try harder, this happened in London and dna test confirm the baby belongs to both couple.

Afonja is losing on all front.

Traitory and diabolical means have not paid this time round.

Everybody look at the Afonja and learn that it pays to be upright.

See the way he is convulsing becos the SS/SE have returned to their natural state before the onset of the zoo.

Wat he really means with this thread is, y are SS/SE not hating and killing each other.

Adekamkpe23:
Who are the we?
Before the creation of Midwest, Benin Delta (Bendel) was part of western region.

mind u ijaw, igbo, igala were wrongly included in ur western region.

Itsekiri are mixed with Ijaw and can swing in any direction dey like. Even their land is mixed settlement with Ijaw all around.

Adekamkpe23:
Just answer the question, Edo and Delta were not at the useless meeting.

One key feature of the modern Afonja is his delusion, I dont remember ur fathers beingthis delusional.

u see majority of Gov u are asking about one or two missing.

Okowa and Obiano will definately attend their next meeting. That makes it complete.

Afonja grasping straws as usual.

Ur divide and rule dayz are over, if u look very well Anambra from SE was missing.

They had valid excuses.

winterfell007:
Please they should remind that bastard director not to disturb the anambra election, election will hold regardless. If he and his millions of deluded folks choose not to vote on that day, my family and I will come out and vote willy willy. They should also remind him that the unity and indivisibility of this nation will remain unshakeable.
They should also remind him that the price for secession is war, does he and deluded folks have the stomach to engage the government on a military campaign?. My people must wake up from their slumber. That madman, Kanu will lead us to our doom

It is ur papa dat is a bastard. Elections in Anambra is cancelled. U are probably one useless Aboki abi Afonja dat needs to be reminded to keep off the SS/SE. imbeccile!

Anybody dat think Jewish Israeli doctors, inaddition to British doctors did not monitor his health whilst in prison and after is on crack cocaine.

PureMe01:
i will believe dis crap u posted after if "nigerian unity" or "regional crisis or seccession" does not come up as points of discussion after they must have read out their resolutions

This is SS/SE meeting, u are busy telling dem wat to discuss about in their own region.

They will discuss wateva they like. They owe nobody any explanation. If u think otherwise, then y was SW not included? Times are fast changing.

SW need to learn honour, integrity and loyalty to remain relevant, u cannot continue to get away with rascality.

The Delta Gov is at the far right of the Camera, probably late or did not turn up becos his daughter gave birth yesterday.

They have started to reason, we thank God for Nnamdi Kanu.

Please, this meeeting should be done every three months.

I just love to see dem together.

bigfrancis21:
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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Deuteronomy 28New International Version (NIV)

Blessings for Obedience
28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

7 The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

8 The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

9 The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. 11 The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

Curses for Disobedience
15 However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:

16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.

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.

19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

20 The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.[a] 21 The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. 23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. 24 The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.

25 The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. 26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away. 27 The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 28 The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. 29 At midday you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.

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.

36 The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone. 37 You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.

38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. 39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. 40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. 41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity. 42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.

43 The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.

45 All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. 46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. 47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, 48 therefore in hunger and thirst, in unclothedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.

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.

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.

58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God— 59 the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60 He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. 62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God. 63 Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.

64 Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known. 65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. 66 You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. 67 In the morning you will say, “If only it were evening!” and in the evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see. 68 The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.

Deuteronomy 28:20 Hebrew me

bigfrancis21:
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.

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.
