1. K. Joy Sandiford: The Wilderness of Peoples
Re
Wilderness of the Nations by Alexander Zephyr
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/guest/wilderness-of-the-nations-by-alexander-zephyr.html
The question was asked, "is the wilderness of peoples/nations a real place?".
See exert from the Book of Jasher Chapter 36:21-36 21
And these are the generations of Esau that were born to him in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Esau were five. 22 And Adah bare to Esau his first born Eliphaz, and she also bare to him Reuel, and Ahlibamah bare to him Jeush, Yaalam and Korah. 23 These are the children of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Eliphaz the son of Esau were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, Kenaz and Amalex, and the sons of Reuel were Nachath, Zerach, Shamah and Mizzah. 24 And the sons of Jeush were Timnah, Alvah, Jetheth; and the sons of Yaalam were Alah, Phinor and Kenaz. 25 And the sons of Korah were Teman, Mibzar, Magdiel and Eram; these are the families of the sons of Esau according to their dukedoms in the land of Seir. 26 And these are the names of the sons of Seir the Horite, inhabitants of the land of Seir, Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishan, Ezer and Dishon, being seven sons. 27 And the children of Lotan were Hori, Heman and their sister Timna, that is Timna who came to Jacob and his sons, and they would not give ear to her, and she went and became a concubine to Eliphaz the son of Esau, and she bare to him Amalek. 28 And the sons of Shobal were Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam, and the sons of Zibeon were Ajah, and Anah, this was that Anah who found the Yemim in the wilderness when he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. 29 And whilst he was feeding his father's asses he led them to the wilderness at different times to feed them. 30 And there was a day that he brought them to one of the deserts on the sea shore, opposite the wilderness of the people, and whilst he was feeding them, behold a very heavy storm came from the other side of the sea and rested upon the asses that were feeding there, and they all stood still. 31 And afterward about one hundred and twenty great and terrible animals came out from the wilderness at the other side of the sea, and they all came to the place where the asses were, and they placed themselves there. 32 And those animals, from their middle downward, were in the shape of the children of men, and from their middle upward, some had the likeness of bears, and some the likeness of the keephas, with tails behind them from between their shoulders reaching down to the earth, like the tails of the ducheephath, and these animals came and mounted and rode upon these asses, and led them away, and they went away unto this day. 33 And one of these animals approached Anah and smote him with his tail, and then fled from that place. 34 And when he saw this work he was exceedingly afraid of his life, and he fled and escaped to the city. 35 And he related to his sons and brothers all that had happened to him, and many men went to seek the asses but could not find them, and Anah and his brothers went no more to that place from that day following, for they were greatly afraid of their lives. 36 And the children of Anah the son of Seir, were Dishon and his sister Ahlibamah, and the children of Dishon were Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran and Cheran, and the children of Ezer were Bilhan, Zaavan and Akan, and the children of Dishon were Uz and Aran. 37 These are the families of the children of Seir the Horite, according to their dukedoms in the land of Seir. 38 And Esau and his children dwelt in the land of Seir the Horite, the inhabitant of the land, and they had possessions in it and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly, and Jacob and his children and all belonging to them, dwelt with their father Isaac in the land of Canaan, as the Lord had commanded Abraham their father.
This story is repeated near word for word in The Legends if the Jews Volume 1, VI, 321 Genesis 15:8, 13-16 also give a brief summary of this.
I am more interested in what occurred and so I googled wilderness of nations and wilderness of the peoples and found your site.
This is a real place.
Scripture stated that Abraham's descendants would not take possession of the land right away because the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Genesis 15:16 Giants in the land and DNA manipulation producing grapes that took 2 to carry, etc.
These were people that had to be wiped out because they were practicing mischief as we're occurring before the flood.
Israel failed to rid the land if all the abominations being practiced.
I believe this is one of the reasons for EZEKIEL 20:33-36, 38.
I hope this points in the right direction. I believe this is that real place.

Brit-Am Comment:
This brings us to the subject of Anah and the donkeys and mules.
Genesis 36:
24 These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; he is the Anah who found Yamim [the mules] in the wilderness, as he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father.
Talmud Pesachim 54;a: Rabbi Shimeon ben Gamliel said: Mules [pered] were [first] in the time of Anah, as it says, "he is the Anah who found Yamim [the mules] in the wilderness" (Genesis 36:24).
Rashi: He coupled a female horse with a male donkey and gota mule...
The word 'Yamim' traditionally means a kind of mule though usually the word 'pered' would be used. Yamim probably does mean mule (i.e. a union of horse and donkey) whereas
according to one modern opinion (that we tend to agree with) the term pered originally meant a now extinct type of equid and not a cross-breed.
Later the term pered was applied to the mule because it had features similar to those of the pered which was becoming extinct and has now disappeared though archaeologists still find its skeletons.
Adam Clarke provides other interpretations of this word but admits to preferring 'mules', providing the following reasons involving history and etymology:
[This observation is also found in Clarke's Bible Commentary (by Adam Clarke 1760 or 1762 - 1832) on Genesis 36:24.

# My own opinion is, that mules were not known before the time of Anah; and that he was probably the first who coupled the mare and ass together to produce this mongrel, or the first who met with creatures of this race in some very secluded part of the wilderness. Is it not probable that from this Anah, or enah, the Enetae derived at least their fabulous origin, whom Homer mentions as famous for their race of wild mules?
# The Paphlagonians Pylaemenes rules, Where rich HENETIA breeds her SAVAGE MULES. POPE.
# The Enetae or Henetae, who were a people contiguous to Paphlagonia, Cappadocia, and Galatia, might have derived their origin from this Anah, or Henah, out of which the enetoi of the ancient Greek writers might have been formed; and according to Theophrastus, Strabo, and Plutarch, the first mules were seen among these people.
Stephen Philips points out that in Homer (The Iliad, Book II) we read,
# Paphlagonians were commanded by stout-hearted Pylaemanes from Enetae, where the mules run wild in herds. These were they that held Cytorus and the country round Sesamus, with the cities by the river Parthenius, Cromna, Aegialus, and lofty Erithini. #
Stephen Philips noted that the Bible never says anything without a reason for it.
Here we see a link between Anah the Horites who was identified with Edom and the Enetoi in northern Turkey (Paphlagonia). Thre
Enetae, more accurarely Enetoi, is also the Greek name for the Veneti people, who inhabited northern Italy in the same area as modern Venice, and who probably were ancestors of the Venetians.
The Romans connected these Veneti with those of Paphlagonia.
Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita, Book 1, Chapter 1: "Antenor sailed into the furthest part of the Adriatic, accompanied by a number of Enetians who had been driven from Paphlagonia by a revolution and after losing their king Pylaemenes before Troy were looking for a settlement and a leader. The combined force of Enetians and Trojans defeated the Euganei, who dwelt between the sea and the Alps and occupied their land. The place where they disembarked was called Troy, and the name was extended to the surrounding district; the whole nation were called Veneti."
Note only Venice but also Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, and possibly the Antes of the Ukraine and portions of the Slavic peoples may be derived from these peoples.
This serves to strengthen the indications that a good portion of the Edomites moved westwards.
We have written more on this and may post it later.

PM Netanyahu We Are a Family!
On March 2, 2015, Benjamin Netanyahu in a widely publicized speech to AIPAC in the USA declared that the USA and Israel are a family! This was an historical declaration in light of the fact that amongst the population of North America are very many descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes. The USA together with the British and their offshoots represents the Tribes of Joseph. The relevant segment from his speech is hereby presented.
Quote:
# Ladies and gentlemen, Israel and the United States will continue to stand together because America and Israel are more than friends. We're like a family. We're practically mishpocha.
Now, disagreements in the family are always uncomfortable, but we must always remember that we are family.
Rooted in a common heritage, upholding common values, sharing a common destiny. And that's the message I came to tell you today. Our alliance is sound. Our friendship is strong. And with your efforts it will get even stronger in the years to come.
Thank you, AIPAC. Thank you, America. God bless you all." #

3. Proverbs 22: 22- 29 Show Self-Respect through Consideration of Others
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/proverbs/proverbs22.html
Proverbs 22:
22 Do not steal from the lowly man because he is lowly
And no not oppress the poor in the gate.
Do not take advantage of the vulnerable just because you can do so.
If you do, it is liable to come back at you.
23 For the LORD will quarrel their quarrel
And will re-appropriate the life of they who misappropriate from them.
The word translated here as life in Hebrew in "nefesh" which also connotes mental health.
They who do wrong to others afflict the sanity of their own minds.
24 Do not become a companion to an angry person
And with a man given to rage enter not.
25 Lest you learn his ways
and take a snare against your life.
Here too, the word translated as life in Hebrew in "nefesh" which also connotes mental health or control of your mind.
People who allow anger to take control of them do and think things that work against them at several levels.
26 Do not be one of those who shake hands [give pledges],
who become surety for debts.
27 If you have nothing with which to pay,
why should your bed be taken from under you?
28 Do not push back the ancient landmark
that your ancestors set up.
29 Have you seen a man expert in his work?
He will stand before kings
He will not serve the reprobate.
