Isaiah speaks of sea-goers:
[Isaiah 42:10]
"SING UNTO THE LORD A NEW SONG, AND HIS PRAISE FROM THE END OF THE EARTH, YE THAT GO DOWN TO THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN; THE ISLES, AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF".
"SING UNTO THE LORD A NEW SONG, AND HIS PRAISE FROM THE END OF THE EARTH, YE THAT GO DOWN TO THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN; THE ISLES, AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF".
The Lost Ten Tribes had to be a sea-faring nation or include sea-farers as we have seen. We shall also note the connection of The Lost Ten Tribes with Tarshish and with ships plying the Atlantic Ocean, and of Israelites being in "many water".
In addition to the above we have the fact that specific tribes were also described as sea-goers.
Dan was referred to as someone who dwells in ships.
[Judges 5:17]
"AND WHY DID DAN REMAIN IN SHIPS? ASHER CONTINUED ON THE SEA SHORE, AND ABODE IN HIS BREACHES".
"AND WHY DID DAN REMAIN IN SHIPS? ASHER CONTINUED ON THE SEA SHORE, AND ABODE IN HIS BREACHES".
In the Hebrew it says that Dan dwelt in ships. The point about Asher can dwelling "in his breaches {hebrew: Mifratsav"] also be understood to say that Asher dwelt on his sailing boats. We will speak more on this elsewhere. In our book "Lost Israelite Identity" we have a whole chapter dedicated to the seafaring activities of the Ancient Israelites and several more chapters that discuss aspects related to this kind of activity.
Concerning Zebulon it was prophesied:
[Genesis 49:13]
"ZEBULUN SHALL DWELL AT THE HAVEN OF THE SEA; AND HE SHALL BE FOR AN HAVEN OF SHIPS; AND HIS BORDER SHALL BE UNTO ZIDON".
"ZEBULUN SHALL DWELL AT THE HAVEN OF THE SEA; AND HE SHALL BE FOR AN HAVEN OF SHIPS; AND HIS BORDER SHALL BE UNTO ZIDON".
Zebulon settled in Holland, see The Tribes. The expression transalted above (from the KJ) as "THE HAVEN OF THE SEA" in Hebrew is "Chof [pronounced as "Hof"] Yamim" meaning at the seashores or at the shore of the seas. I/3 of Holland is below sea-level, another 1/3 is subject to periodic sea-flooding, i.e. 2/3 of the country needs protection (in the form of dykes, dams, etc) from sea-inundationb, i.e. is dwelling on the shores of the sea. This is the only country in the world where this holds true. In Ancient Times a people recored by Ptolemy called Sabulingoi dwelt in the region of Northern Holland. "Sabulingoi" in Hebrew means "People of Zebulon". Northern peoples at that time switched "s" for "z". Other peoples who settled in the area bore names similar to those of clans of Zebulon recorded in the Bible. Accepting the fact that Zebulon settled in Holland and that many of the Dutch descend from Zebulon entails recognition of their kinfolk (such as the Angles) as being of similar Israelite origin.
