CC. Subtitles edited.
The Lost Ten Tribes need to know who they and to return to God Almighty. The Almighty makes a Tabernacle, in Hebrew "mishkan": "a place of dwelling" for Himself from our prayers, cf. Amos 5:15 HATE EVIL, LOVE GOOD; ESTABLISH JUSTICE IN THE GATE. IT MAY BE THAT THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS WILL BE GRACIOUS TO THE REMNANT OF JOSEPH.

3. Query from Guy Smith: Which Tribe am I?
Shabbat Shalom Yair,
I just finished watching your video : Which Tribe are you from?
As you know, I consider myself to be in exile, but I never really thought of Brit-Am as a reference to determine what tribe I am from. That said; I would like, YHVH willing, to figure out what tribe I am from.
What is my first step?
Guy Smith

Brit-Am Reply:
See our answer below ("Brit-Am Now" no. 3504. No.4 Query on Israelite Identity) which is partially relevant to your question.
After you have ascertained that there is a probability of descent from Israel you wish to know what Tribe you may be from:
Ancestry.
We have books and article showing where the LTTs went to and who they became.
If your known ancestors came from those areas then that is a good place to start.
We also have Tribal Character Profiles for several of the Tribes. Do you fit any of them?
Family Names are often indicative of ancestry. What do the names mean? From where do they originate?
Occupational Profiles of ancestors may also help.
DNA tests sometimes may be worthwhile.
Yair as an Example.
Some people instinctively identify with a certain Tribe. Yair tended to identify with every one of the Tribes at some stage or other being aware that it happens that the one you least consider may be the right one!
The father of Yair Davidiy was Welsh (but possibly of partly Irish descent) while his mother was Ashekenazi Jewish from the regions of France, Germany, and Denmark.
The surname of may father had once been "Russell-Davis" which means "Son of Little Red David." Both "Little" and "Red" are descriptions in the Bible for King David.
Nearly everyone however would like to be descended from King David.
There are in fact probably millions of descendants of David in the world today so it is not a far-fetched possibility, cf.
Jeremiah (NKJV) 33:
19 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAH, SAYING, 20 THUS SAYS THE LORD: IF YOU CAN BREAK MY COVENANT WITH THE DAY AND MY COVENANT WITH THE NIGHT, SO THAT THERE WILL NOT BE DAY AND NIGHT IN THEIR SEASON, 21 THEN MY COVENANT MAY ALSO BE BROKEN WITH DAVID MY SERVANT, SO THAT HE SHALL NOT HAVE A SON TO REIGN ON HIS THRONE, AND WITH THE LEVITES, THE PRIESTS, MY MINISTERS. 22 AS THE HOST OF HEAVEN CANNOT BE NUMBERED, NOR THE SAND OF THE SEA MEASURED, SO WILL I MULTIPLY THE DESCENDANTS OF DAVID MY SERVANT AND THE LEVITES WHO MINISTER TO ME.
This source also indicates that there are millions of Levites.
Other sources suggest Yair may be descended from Levi.
His grandfather on the side of his mother was a Levite. Numerous names in his immediate family all pertain to Levi, e.g. Pinchas, Elazar, Itamar, Aharon, Oriel, Moses, etc. Many other indications exist.
All these names were chosen without having Levi in mind but for other reasons though they are associated with Levi more than any other Tribe.
Our family has characteristics pertinent to Levi.
Once you begin to take an interest repeated patterns are seen to recur pointing in a definite direction.
There was a group known as the Sons of Moses that attached itself to the Ten Tribes. They settled in France and Britain and may eventually have congregated in Wales.
Others have noticed Levi-Type behavioral patterns among the Welsh.
At all events it is interesting and enables a deeper appreciation of the matter involved.
We need to identify with the Bible, with Israel, and to deepen our appreciation of these matters.
Certain "Ephraimite" activists also seem to be associated with Levi. In our opinion their religious beliefs are mistaken in part but they have characteristics of Levi.
What Yair did with his family and background etc you can do with yours.
See also our studies on the tribal characteristics of Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, etc.

4. Query on Israelite Identity.
Sylvia Halpert: Sami People and Russians also from the Ten Tribes.
Shalom Yair,
This comment about Ephraim going to Bjarmaland (the Sami People who were depicted supposedly in the Disney movie Frozen) was under your recent video," Are you from Joseph?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPmeXY7wS8c
Can you please comment?
Thank you
Sylvia

The map showed that part of Israel was taken to Shalmanassar's captivity to the east, so-called Samarra cultural area. One hundred years later, the tribe of Ephraim, taken there as slaves, went from Assyria directly to the northern land, where they spread throughout Fennoscandia. They passed through Russian territory and settled Russia as well. Their kingdom was called Bjarmia (Bear-land) which was the name before the Novgorod kingdom. Finally it became known as Russia. I think you are facing a big problem if you forget that Russia is important part on Ephraym. The final climax of the Israeli civil war is now underway.

Brit-Am Reply:
S. Gusten OLSEN, "The Incredible Nordic Origins," U.K. 1981, writes about the Sami (Lapplander) people. He says (or quotes from another source saying) that the ancestors of the Sami and the Scandinavians once shared an overlapping domain. The Sami picked up Hebraic customs etc (details were not given as far as I remember) from the Scandinavian ancestors who then mover on and were influenced by other cultures. The Sami being more isolated kept what they had received whereas the Scandinavians lost it.
Interestingly the mtDNA of Sami women is the same as that of the Berbers in North Africa!
Anyway, about the Sami we do not know but assume that they are not Hebrews. The Russians are not Hebraic in character and do not fit the Criteria we use to decide these matters. Also they would not on the whole want it any other way.
Cf.
Criteria Defined!
https://hebrewnations.com/hebrewn/7wonders.html
1. Blessings: Economic and Physical Blessings as promised to Israel in Scripture.
2. Other Indications of Scripture in addition to the Blessings.
3. Groundwork: Historical, Archaeological, and Related Proofs showing paths of migration.
4. Judah: Affinity with the Jews.
5. Civilized and Civilizing. The Lost Ten Tribes were expected to become a civilizing influence over many nations, and to conduct themselves in a relatively humane manner. They were to serve as agents of influence that the rest of humanity would learn from and perhaps take as model examples.
6. Family Connection. An identified nation needs to have proven ethnic links to at least one of the other nations who have already been identified.
7. Tribal Affiliation. Each recognizable separate ethnic entity needs to have characteristics that allow us, even if only in a tentative way, to identify them as one or more of the Israelite Tribes.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Tribes/Hebrew Awareness
The Imperatives of our Movement
https://hebrewnations.com/hebrewn/hebrewtribes.html
(1) Belief in the Bible.
(2) Acceptance of the Jews as Judah.
(3) The Lost Ten Tribes Identified as specific nations and groups now present among Western Peoples.
Beliefs and Behavior in light of the 7 Criteria:
1. Belief in God. Blessings: The Lost Ten Tribes have been Blessed with Economic and Physical Blessings as promised to Israel in Scripture.
2. Bible. Indications of Scripture strongly indicate that the Lost Ten Tribes are in the west. This is in addition to Proof from the obviously apparent Blessings. This leads to belief in the Bible.
3. Groundwork: Historical, Archaeological, Linguistic, and Related Proofs prove that conclusions derived from Scripture were historically feasible. Biblical Knowledge is barrelled by that of Secular Sciences once these are properly understood.
4. Judah. The Lost Ten Tribes are distant brothers to the Jews of Judah: There is a need to feel an unconditional affinity with the Jews and in general support the State of Israel.
5. Civilized and Civilizing. Members of the Ten Tribes need to live good lives in the light of Biblical Knowledge.
6. Family Connection. Members of the Ten Tribes need to be positive members of their own Tribes and friendly towards other Israelites.
7. Tribal Affiliation. We should endeavor to clarify what Tribe we most likely belong to. It is possible to have several Tribes in mind and also to change one's mind as new insights materialize.

5. Psalm (NLT) 5:
For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute.
1 O LORD, HEAR ME AS I PRAY;
PAY ATTENTION TO MY GROANING.
2 LISTEN TO MY CRY FOR HELP, MY KING AND MY GOD,
FOR I PRAY TO NO ONE BUT YOU.
3 LISTEN TO MY VOICE IN THE MORNING, LORD.
EACH MORNING I BRING MY REQUESTS TO YOU AND WAIT EXPECTANTLY.
4 O GOD, YOU TAKE NO PLEASURE IN WICKEDNESS;
YOU CANNOT TOLERATE THE SINS OF THE WICKED.
5 THEREFORE, THE PROUD MAY NOT STAND IN YOUR PRESENCE,
FOR YOU HATE ALL WHO DO EVIL.
6 YOU WILL DESTROY THOSE WHO TELL LIES.
THE LORD DETESTS MURDERERS AND DECEIVERS.
7 BECAUSE OF YOUR UNFAILING LOVE, I CAN ENTER YOUR HOUSE;
I WILL WORSHIP AT YOUR TEMPLE WITH DEEPEST AWE.
8 LEAD ME IN THE RIGHT PATH, O LORD,
OR MY ENEMIES WILL CONQUER ME.
MAKE YOUR WAY PLAIN FOR ME TO FOLLOW.
9 MY ENEMIES CANNOT SPEAK A TRUTHFUL WORD.
THEIR DEEPEST DESIRE IS TO DESTROY OTHERS.
THEIR TALK IS FOUL, LIKE THE STENCH FROM AN OPEN GRAVE.
THEIR TONGUES ARE FILLED WITH FLATTERY.[A]
10 O GOD, DECLARE THEM GUILTY.
LET THEM BE CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN TRAPS.
DRIVE THEM AWAY BECAUSE OF THEIR MANY SINS,
FOR THEY HAVE REBELLED AGAINST YOU.
11 BUT LET ALL WHO TAKE REFUGE IN YOU REJOICE;
LET THEM SING JOYFUL PRAISES FOREVER.
SPREAD YOUR PROTECTION OVER THEM,
THAT ALL WHO LOVE YOUR NAME MAY BE FILLED WITH JOY.
12 FOR YOU BLESS THE GODLY, O LORD;
YOU SURROUND THEM WITH YOUR SHIELD OF LOVE.

Jacob (aka Israel) Kept the Law of Tithing: Jacob linked his tithing to a Return to the House of his Father. We can do the same.
Genesis (NIV) 28:
18 EARLY THE NEXT MORNING JACOB TOOK THE STONE HE HAD PLACED UNDER HIS HEAD AND SET IT UP AS A PILLAR AND POURED OIL ON TOP OF IT.
19 HE CALLED THAT PLACE BETHEL, THOUGH THE CITY USED TO BE CALLED LUZ.
20 THEN JACOB MADE A VOW, SAYING, IF GOD WILL BE WITH ME AND WILL WATCH OVER ME ON THIS JOURNEY I AM TAKING AND WILL GIVE ME FOOD TO EAT AND CLOTHES TO WEAR
21 SO THAT I RETURN SAFELY TO MY FATHERS HOUSEHOLD, THEN THE LORD WILL BE MY GOD
22 AND THIS STONE THAT I HAVE SET UP AS A PILLAR WILL BE GODS HOUSE, AND OF ALL THAT YOU GIVE ME I WILL GIVE YOU A TENTH.
MALACHI 3:
10 BRING ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE,
THAT THERE MAY BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE,
AND TRY ME NOW IN THIS,
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS,
'IF I WILL NOT OPEN FOR YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN
AND POUR OUT FOR YOU SUCH BLESSING
THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT.
Proverbs 3:
9 HONOR THE LORD WITH YOUR WEALTH
AND WITH THE FIRST OF ALL YOUR PRODUCE,
10 SO YOUR BARNS WILL BE FILLED WITH ABUNDANCE,
AND YOUR VATS WILL BURST OPEN WITH NEW WINE.
