Not Known to Judah

 [Isaiah 28:11]
FOR WITH STAMMERING LIPS AND ANOTHER TONGUE WILL HE SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE.

ANOTHER TONGUE: Most Israelites will not know Hebrew at that time.  

Isaiah  49:21 speaks of the Jewish reaction when the Lost Tribes will return. Many Jews will be astounded and even perhaps slightly resentful since they will feel that Joseph at times of trouble could have been more positive.

ISAIAH AND THE RETURN OF THE LOST TEN TRIBES

The Lost Ten Tribes will  return. The Jews of Judah will meet the return of the Lost Ten Tribes with mixed reactions: 

"THEN SHALT THOU SAY IN THINE HEART, WHO HATH BEGOTTEN ME THESE, SEEING I HAVE LOST MY CHILDREN, AND AM DESOLATE, A CAPTIVE, AND REMOVING TO AND FRO? AND WHO HATH BROUGHT UP THESE? BEHOLD, I WAS LEFT ALONE; THESE, WHERE HAD THEY BEEN?" [Isaiah 49:21].
 

In other words, the Jews will ask where were all those now identified as Israel when the Jews needed help and were alone? According to the Midrash (Pesikta Rabati 32;10) this reaction of the Jews will take place WHEN THEY SEE THE THREE EXILES OF THE LOST TEN TRIBES RETURNING!

This reaction was also discussed in the Zohar as we described in our work 'Ephraim'.
