===============
Brit-Am Notes:
This is a Christian Poem but the Christian Messiah is mentioned along with "Old Testaments" figures.
It was written by in 16th century English by William Camden.
# William Camden (1551 - 1623), wrote a book called "Britannia" which was published in Latin in 1586 and in English translation in 1610. It was a landmark in the topographical study of Britain. In this work he said,-
"The merchants of Asher worked the tin mines of Cornwall, not as slaves, but as masters and exporters." #
William Camden (2 May 1551 - 9 November 1623) was an English antiquarian, historian, topographer, and herald, best known as author of Britannia,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Camden
Dr. Aaron K. Hostetter has re-written the poem on Exodus in Modern English while retaining the style of word-usage of the original.
Extracts:
Listen: we have learned both far and near,
across middle-earth of the fame of Moses,
of his wondrous word-laws for the generations of men,
in the high-heavens for all of the blessed
the relief of life after the death-journey,
enduring advice for all of the living,
spoken unto the heroes. Hear it who will! (1-7)
When in the desert, the Lord of Armies, the Truth-Fast King,
with his own might worthied Moses, and gave to him
many wonders into his possession, the Eternal All-Wielder.
He was dear to God, the Ruler of Tribes, daring
and prudent, the head of the host, their strong commander.
He bound the kindred of Pharaoh, the opponent of God,
by the afflictions of his staff. There the Sovereign of Victories
gave to the proud chief, the son of Abraham
the lives of his kinsmen and the habitation of a homeland. (8-18)
....
The Hebrew army was ready, and bold was he who led them,
the proud kin-leader of their sheltering tribe.
He passed over with his people a great number
of remote places, the lands and provinces of hateful men,
the narrow lone-paths and unknown roads,
until they bore their gear to the battle-marchers,
their lands were blanketed in a helmet of clouds,
their swampy distant homes. Moses led the army
across the many perils confronting them. (54-62a)
.... The teaching of God shall be yours,
unsheathed from your breast! So that you might worthy
the Lord of Glory in a better way, I ask for you the grace
of the Lord of Life for the success of victory wherever
you might voyage. This is the Eternal God of Abraham,
the Founder of First-Creation, who protects this host,
mindful and eager for power, with his mighty hand! (259-75)
Then the fourth tribe went first, wading across the wave-stream,
warriors in a group over the green ground, a Jewish troop
hastening upon the unfamiliar paths before their kinsmen.
So Mighty God paid a profound price for his day-works,
after he granted them the glory of victory-deeds,
so that they must possess authority over the kingdoms
to come, the first-fruits of their kinsmen. (310-18)

2. Feast of Tu-be-Shevat. New Year for Fruit of the Trees
Feast of Tu-be-Shevat.
Shevat is the month of the Tribe of Asher.
The name "Shevet" in Hebrew can mean branch, staff, or tribe.
According to the list given in the book, "Shivtei Yisroel" by Fishel Mael, the Month of Shvat (i.e. Shevet) is that of the Tribe of Asher.
This is according to the GRA (Eliyahu of Vilna) and the Ari whose opinions are considered the most authoritative.
This month is said to possess qualities of renewal and rejuvenation.
================
February 10, 2020, in Hebrew is the 15 Shevat 5780.
In Hebrew each letter has a numerical value. Traditional the numbers are written with letters rather than with numerals.
The 15th of Shevat (or "Shvat") is written with the letters Tet (9) and Vav (6) which together make 15. The second letter (Vav) can be pronounced as "u."
This gives us that day whose name is pronounced as "TU-be-Shvat" i.e. "TU (15) in Shvat."
This is the New Year's Day for Trees. In Biblical Times tithes of certain plants excluding some types of fruit tree had to be offered.
Tithes from one year could not be offered for another year. "TU-be-Shvat" was the day on which the tithing cycle for that year concerning the produce of trees began.
================
The Month of Shevat - According to The Book of Formation (Sefer Yetzirah)
https://www.inner.org/times/shevat/shevat.htm
Extracts:
The 15th day of Shevat,Tu Beeshvat is the New Year of Trees .... The New Year of Trees is the day from which the new year is reckoned for the fruit of the trees with regard to the mitzvot of ma'aser ('tithes'; fruit that blossoms after this date may not be taken as a tithe with fruit that blossomed before) and orlah (the fruit of a tree less than three years old is called orlah, and is forbidden to eat). Tu Beeshvat is celebrated by partaking of fruit, especially of the seven species with which the land of Israel is blessed.
... The New Year of Trees of the month of Shevat is the time that the rain waters of the winter months begin to ascend in the veins of the tree and bring it new life.
Tribe: Asher
The name 'Asher' means 'pleasure', and 'happiness.' Our father Jacob blessed his son Asher: 'from Asher comes delicious [lit. fat] bread, and he shall provide the delicacies of the king' (Genesis 49:20). From this it is evident that Asher represents the sense of taste and eating.

Tu B'Shvat: Three inspiring Messages by Adam Ross
https://www.aish.com/h/15sh/i/Tu-BShvat-Three-inspiring-Messages.html?s=mm
Extract:
On Tu B'Shvat we can look at trees and their fruit as our teachers and guides. The date palm which grows in salty conditions yet brings forth honey teaches us to extract the good from the bad. The olive tree, which produces oil, encourages us to bring more light into the world, and the grape which is crushed before producing expensive wine, teaches us the value of humility.

3. Boers (Dutch Afrikaners) of South Africa from the Tribe of Asher?
This month is Shevat the month of the Tribe of Asher.
AnaRinah Heyman quoted an opinion that the Boers of South Africa descend from the Tribe of Asher.
We hope to post more about this.

Is ASHER Belgium & South Africa?
https://www.british-israel.us/195.html
This is a British-Israel article. Its author is not named BUT its style suggests a certain writer KNOWN TO US.
Extracts:
Sir Henry Rawlinson said that the Scandinavians are believed to have come from MEDIA. They venerated ASGARD (ASAGARTA) which was a MEDIAN province (Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society vol. 11 ch. 6, 61). "The cities of the Medes" (2 Ki. 17:6) were where Israelites were taken captive. A tribe called "ASIR" migrated from ASGARD in ASALAND (otherwise known as European Scythia) to Denmark. They passed from Sweden to Norway and then these ASIR migrated to Britain (Hannay's European And Other RaceOrigins, pp.262-263). Yes, "The merchants of ASHER worked the tin mines of Cornwall, not as slaves, but as masters and exporters" (William Camden's Britannia).
They migrated to Belgium also. ASHER yields "royal delights" (Gen.49:20). Belgium is the world's leading exporter of industrial DIAMONDS and gets its supply from the Belgian Congo. Antwerp firms produce almost 60% of the world's finished DIAMONDS. Belgians also settled in South Africa as Boers, Afrikaaners or Dutch. It is interesting that 80% of the world's GOLD, 76% of its CHROME, 96% of its PLATINUM, 80% of its MANGANESE and VANADIUM and about 45% of its URANIUM are produced in South Africa.
