Biblical Evidence:
The Predicted Role of the Ten Tribes
- Tribal and Clan Names
Seventy souls went down to Egypt with Jacob and his family [Genesis 46:8 -26]
These include the family of Joseph.
These names are repeated with some variations in the Book of Numbers (26:4-50).
References in the Bible and archaeological inscriptions indicate that these names were given to clans within the individual tribes. Other names are found in the Bible that also became clan names.
Most (but not all), of the original seventy names can be traced to groups of people in the west amongst nations that we identify as descended from the Lost Ten Tribes. We have also traced other Biblical clan names that were not in the original seventy amongst these peoples. The total number of names that we have accounted for numbers around seventy or more.
Hebrew Tribes and Clans that bore certain names, marched together in certain formations and had certain peculiar characteristics, have been traced bearing similar or identical names, traveling in the same configurations, and with the same Tribal characteristics. Taking this phenomenon into consideration, together with Biblical and other evidence showing the people in question to be descended from the Lost Tribes, we can consider these names to comprise an additional body of evidence in its own right of great value.
We have published and briefly explained these names in the past and will do so again. A fairly broad more detailed explanation was given in our book The Tribes.

"Judah you are he whom thy brethren shall acknowledge the righteousness of: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies; your father's children shall bow down to you" Genesis 49; 8.
The words "shall acknowledge the righteousness of" in Hebrew are "Yoducha" and are translated in the KING JAMES as "shall praise" but in this case our translation is the more literal one. The Hebrew expression "Yoducha" even connotes "own up" or "acknowledge the righteousness of after a disagreement"! The brothers of Judah will acknowledge his righteousness!!!!
