1. Added to article:
Rabbi Alter: Complete Conquest.
Weekly Portion: The Ten Tribes Need to Help to Conquer the Land!
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/rabbi/rabbialter.html
The Commentary "Ha-Emek Davar" by the NETZIV (Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, 1816 1893) explainsthat in the beginning all the 12 Tribes were meant to conquer together the area west of the Jordan. This region would then be divided among all 12 of them. The land east of the Jordan would then in turn be divided up among the 12 Tribes who would use if for grazing. Since Reuben and Gad had much sheep and cattle (apparently far in excess of the others) they asked that they receive the area east of the Jordan and not divide it among the other Tribes.
In return the portions that they would otherwise have gotten west of the Jordan should be given to the Ten Tribes in that area.
This was agreed to BUT the half-Tribe of Manasseh also received a portion east of the Jordan alongside Reuben and Gad.
Manasseh therefore had portions on each side of the Jordan. The case of Manasseh will be deal with separately.
The Commentary "Beit Yisroel" (Rabbi Yisroel Alter, 1895-1977) speaks at length on Reueben and Gad but from a different aspect.
(We have used "Beit Yisroel" several times in the past on Lost Ten Tribe Matters).
Among other things "Beit Yisroel" says (roughly): That by the two and a half-Tribes from over the Jordan participating in the Conquest west of the Jordan their own lands (east of the Jordan) are to be joined (in the spiritual sense) to the Land they are conquering and it is all counted as one entity.
(Without that it would have been considered a separate entity).
"Netivot Shalom" on Numbers 31.
The Children of Israel were challenged by war against Amalek before Receiving the Torah
and by the War of Midian before entering the Land.
The War of Amalek before Receiving the Torah represents the forces of Atheisim and Doubt.
Midian embodies sexual license.
In our generation we are challenged by Challenges to Faith and Challenges to Sexual Probity.
MBD leads the fight for Faith.
MBJ for Purity.

2. Mark McGee. Message Concerning Joseph in Psalm 44?

#2. Psalm 44.
Dear Yair, Thank you for posting the Psalms. I'm reading through them with you each time. Sometimes I want to respond but often I'm unhappy with my limited writing skill.
ould these verses go together?
4 FOR NOT BY THEIR SWORD DID THEY INHERIT THE LAND, NEITHER DID THEIR ARM SAVE THEM, BUT YOUR RIGHT HAND AND YOUR ARM AND THE LIGHT OF YOUR COUNTENANCE, FOR YOU FAVORED THEM
Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
6 WITH YOU, WE WILL GORE OUR ADVERSARIES; WITH YOUR NAME, WE WILL TRAMPLE THOSE WHO RISE UP AGAINST US.
Deut 33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
Finally, this verse 2 O GOD, WITH OUR EARS WE HEARD, OUR FOREFATHERS TOLD US; YOU PERFORMED A DEED IN THEIR DAYS, IN DAYS OF OLD.
The Forefathers of Judah passed down the story of how the Tribes conquered the holy land. This is a famous moment in Israelite history. If Vv 4-6 do pertain to the Tribe of Joseph's role in the conquest, then modern day Judah can learn that it would benefit them to seek out and recognize Joseph today. This is a positive message of reconciliation. Thank you Brit-am for helping the side of Joseph and the LTT to become aware of who we are.

3. Psalm (TCT - The Complete Tanakh -) 45:
1 FOR THE CONDUCTOR ON SHOSHANNIM, OF THE SONS OF KORAH, A MASKIL A SONG OF LOVES.
2 MY HEART IS ASTIR WITH A GOOD THEME; I SAY, "MY WORKS ARE FOR A KING; MY TONGUE IS A PEN OF AN EXPERT SCRIBE."
3 YOU ARE MORE HANDSOME THAN [OTHER] MEN; CHARM IS POURED INTO YOUR LIPS. THEREFORE, GOD BLESSED YOU FOREVER.
4 GIRD A SWORD ON YOUR THIGH, O MIGHTY ONE, YOUR MAJESTY AND YOUR GLORY.
5 AND YOUR GLORY IS THAT YOU WILL PASS AND RIDE FOR THE SAKE OF TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUS HUMILITY, AND IT SHALL INSTRUCT YOU SO THAT YOUR RIGHT HAND SHALL PERFORM AWESOME THINGS.
6 YOUR ARROWS ARE SHARPENED, NATIONS SHALL FALL UNDER YOU, IN THE HEART OF THE KING'S ENEMIES.
7 YOUR THRONE, O JUDGE, [WILL EXIST] FOREVER AND EVER; THE SCEPTER OF EQUITY IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM.
8 YOU LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND YOU HATED WICKEDNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, ANOINTED YOU WITH OIL OF JOY FROM AMONG YOUR PEERS.
9 MYRRH AND ALOES AND CASSIA ARE ALL YOUR GARMENTS; MORE THAN IVORY PALACES, THOSE THAT ARE MINE WILL CAUSE YOU TO REJOICE.
10 THE DAUGHTERS OF KINGS WILL VISIT YOU; THE QUEEN WILL STAND AT YOUR RIGHT [BEDECKED] WITH GOLDEN JEWELRY FROM OPHIR.
11 HEARKEN, DAUGHTER, AND SEE, AND INCLINE YOUR EAR, AND FORGET YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE.
12 AND THE KING SHALL DESIRE YOUR BEAUTY, FOR HE IS YOUR LORD, AND PROSTRATE YOURSELF TO HIM.
13 AND THE DAUGHTER OF TYRE SHALL SEEK YOUR PRESENCE WITH TRIBUTE, THOSE WHO ARE THE RICHEST OF THE PEOPLE.
14 ALL HONOR [AWAITS] THE KING'S DAUGHTER WHO IS WITHIN; HER RAIMENT IS SUPERIOR TO SETTINGS OF GOLD.
15 WITH EMBROIDERED GARMENTS, SHE WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE KING; AND VIRGINS IN HER TRAIN WHO ARE HER COMPANIONS WILL BE BROUGHT TO YOU.
16 THEY SHALL BE BROUGHT WITH JOY AND EXULTATION; THEY SHALL COME FORTH INTO THE KING'S PALACE.
17 INSTEAD OF YOUR FOREFATHERS WILL BE YOUR SONS; YOU SHALL APPOINT THEM AS PRINCES THROUGHOUT THE LAND.
18 I WILL MENTION YOUR NAME IN EVERY GENERATION; THEREFORE PEOPLES SHALL THANK YOU FOREVER AND EVER.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4. Using the Name of God inappropriately is Offensive!
Numbers (CJV) 31:
1 THE LORD SPOKE TO MOSES SAYING,
2 "TAKE REVENGE FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AGAINST THE MIDIANITES; AFTERWARDS YOU WILL BE GATHERED TO YOUR PEOPLE."
3 SO MOSES SPOKE TO THE PEOPLE, SAYING, "ARM FROM AMONG YOU MEN FOR THE ARMY, THAT THEY CAN BE AGAINST MIDIAN, AND CARRY OUT THE REVENGE OF THE LORD AGAINST MIDIAN.
4 A THOUSAND FOR EACH TRIBE, A THOUSAND FOR EACH TRIBE, FROM ALL THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL YOU SHALL SEND INTO THE ARMY."
The Passage says (31:2) 2 "TAKE REVENGE FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL... and after that CARRY OUT THE REVENGE OF THE LORD (31:3).
Israel is interchangeable with the Almighty. The Honor of one is that other the other.
The Midrash ("Sifri") tells us that REVENGE FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL and THE REVENGE OF THE LORD are one and the same.
The Honor of God is the Honor of Israel meaning of us, of who we are.
When one uses the Name of God in an incorrect way it is we who are offended.
It is offensive!
Exodus (CJV) 20:
7 YOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD, YOUR GOD, IN VAIN, FOR THE LORD WILL NOT HOLD BLAMELESS ANYONE WHO TAKES HIS NAME IN VAIN.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
5. We Stand with Israel - Lyrics.
(This is song commonly sang at gatherings of Jews in support of Israel).
We hear your cries
Your tears fall from our eyes
Know that from the start
Its echoed in our hearts
We stand with Israel
We stand with you
May G-d protect us now and help us through
We stand with Israel
You're not alone
May G-d watch over you, you are our home
Unimaginable fear
More than one can bear
So we come together today
To raise our voices and say!
You are our home.

6. Quora Query.
Why do Nordic countries hate Israel?
https://www.quora.com/Why-do-Nordic-countries-hate-Israel/answer/Yair-Davidiy
Brit-Am Reply:
If the Nordic Countries are descended in part from the Lost Ten Tribes how do we explain their anti-Israel attitudes?
(1) There was always a certain degree of tension between the Ten Tribes and Judah (ancestor of the Jews) even before they separated.
This will only be fully resolved in the End Times.
I would not say that the Nordic Countries hate Israel BUT within them one finds anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli elements. Historically the Nordic Countries limited the number of Jews allowed to enter their lands but acted decently enough towards those who did come in.
In Word War-2 Denmark saved all its Jews. Norway turned about 40% of them over to the Nazis but saved the rest and did much to defeat Germany, something that is not sufficiently appreciated. They destroyed the German heavy water faculties (preventing the production of an atom bomb), and kept 300,000 (sic.) German soldiers locked up in their land effectively immobilized. Sweden helped save Jewish refugees from Norway and Denmark and also initiated Rescue actions in Hungary and elsewhere. Finland protected the few Jews in its country apart from 8 who were mistakenly turned over to the Germans. After WW2 these nations were on the whole pro-Israel, at least at the beginning. Norway (with British approval) supplied Israel with heavy water thus supplementing the initial French support leading to a Nuclear Israel and more than 100 atom bombs in reserve. Without this Israel would have been even more in danger of destruction from other nations than it already is.
Nevertheless over the years the Media and populace of Nordic Nations has been more and more influenced by anti-Israel propaganda. The result is a growing anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian sentiment accompanied by antisemitic, anti-Jewish calumnies, slurs, and outright blood libels. There is something infantile about these peoples that allows this to happen. It is partly explainable by the fact that they allowed many Muslims into their country. A good portion of their leaders are females. They may be wary of confrontation with male Muslim agitators and so take refuge in an emotional identification with them. Other explanations also exist.
The Nordic Countries are populated in part by descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes.
This was prophesied.
For example:
The Location of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark fits Prophetic Indications Concerning the Lost Ten Tribes.
The Ten Tribes were to be found at the Ends of the Earth meaning the geographic extremities such as those of the Scandinavian nations: Isaiah 24:16, 26:15, 41:8-9, 43:6, 49:6.
e.g.
Isaiah 41:
8 BUT YOU, ISRAEL, ARE MY SERVANT,
JACOB WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN,
THE DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM MY FRIEND.
9 YOU WHOM I HAVE TAKEN FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH,
AND CALLED FROM ITS FARTHEST REGIONS,
AND SAID TO YOU,
YOU ARE MY SERVANT,
I HAVE CHOSEN YOU AND HAVE NOT CAST YOU AWAY.
(2) After the Israelites came out of Egypt and travelled though the Wilderness they reached the edge of Canaan. 12 spies were selected, one from each tribe, to spy out the Land as preparation for its conquest. 10 of the spies brought back a negative report. 2 were positive. These were from the Tribes of Judah and Ephraim. The 10 spies who brought back a bad report concerning the Land of Canaan had been selected from all of the Tribes (Numbers chs. 13, 14). According to the research of Fishel MAEL ('Shivtei Yisroel,' Baltimore, USA, 1997) those spies representing the Tribes of Naphtali and Asher were the chief instigators of the negative report that was brought back.
Both these Tribes were later to be found in Scandinavian. The Tribe of Asher became the As (plural "Aseir") ancestors of Scandinavian mythology while Naphtali was known as the Naphtalite Huns and entered Norway at a later date, in ca. 600 CE, though other descendants of Naphtali had already previously been there.
In addition to this we had the Mixed Multitude or Assorted Rabble, in Hebrew referred to as the "Erev Rav."
Exodus 12:38: A MIXED CROWD ALSO WENT UP WITH THEM, AND LIVESTOCK IN GREAT NUMBERS, BOTH FLOCKS AND HERDS (NRSV).
The expression translated as "mixed crowd" in Hebrew is "Erev Rav" literally indicating "A GREAT ADMIXTURE." Midrashim and other sources say they of foreign origin and greatly outnumbered the full-born Israelites. These elements may still be with us. They a largely a negative force working away to undermine national stability of the Hebrew Tribes from inside. They are to be found among all the Tribes. These were joined by descendants of Canaanites and others.
When the Israelites came into the Land of Canaan at the beginning they were supposed to wipe out or expel the local Canaanites. They were warned that if they did not do that disaster would come upon them.
Numbers (NIV) 33:
55 BUT IF YOU DO NOT DRIVE OUT THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND, THOSE YOU ALLOW TO REMAIN WILL BECOME BARBS IN YOUR EYES AND THORNS IN YOUR SIDES. THEY WILL GIVE YOU TROUBLE IN THE LAND WHERE YOU WILL LIVE. 56 AND THEN I WILL DO TO YOU WHAT I PLAN TO DO TO THEM.
The Hebrews did not do what they were told and eventually they were expelled. Foreign elements had remained among all of the Tribes.
In most areas the Hebrews were in the majority; but in others the pagans were. Tribes in which the pagans predominated were Asher (Judges 1:32), Naphtali (Judges 1:33), and Dan (Judges 1:34-35).
Judges (NIV) 1:
32 THE ASHERITES LIVED AMONG THE CANAANITE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND BECAUSE THEY DID NOT DRIVE THEM OUT. 33 NEITHER DID NAPHTALI DRIVE OUT THOSE LIVING IN BETH SHEMESH OR BETH ANATH; BUT THE NAPHTALITES TOO LIVED AMONG THE CANAANITE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND, AND THOSE LIVING IN BETH SHEMESH AND BETH ANATH BECAME FORCED LABORERS FOR THEM. 34 THE AMORITES CONFINED THE DANITES TO THE HILL COUNTRY, NOT ALLOWING THEM TO COME DOWN INTO THE PLAIN. 35 AND THE AMORITES WERE DETERMINED ALSO TO HOLD OUT IN MOUNT HERES, AIJALON AND SHAALBIM, BUT WHEN THE POWER OF THE TRIBES OF JOSEPH INCREASED, THEY TOO WERE PRESSED INTO FORCED LABOR.
The Tribes that remained a minority in their own country were Asher, Naphtali, Dan. These are all Tribes that according to our studies became prominent in Scandinavia.
Hasidic sources (e.g. "Beit Yisroel," "Pri Tsadik") say that we are all a bit mixed with the Assorted Rabble. By correcting ourselves we can "reform" whatever is wrong with us. So too, by doing good we can elevate everyone including the "Erev Rav." The "Erev Rav" includes not only the Assorted Rabble who accompanied the Hebrew when they came out of Egypt but also descendants of the Canaanites with whom the Israelites intermixed.
Psalms (NIV) 106:
34 THEY DID NOT DESTROY THE PEOPLES
AS THE LORD HAD COMMANDED THEM,
35 BUT THEY MINGLED WITH THE NATIONS
AND ADOPTED THEIR CUSTOMS.
36 THEY WORSHIPED THEIR IDOLS,
WHICH BECAME A SNARE TO THEM.
37 THEY SACRIFICED THEIR SONS
AND THEIR DAUGHTERS TO FALSE GODS.
38 THEY SHED INNOCENT BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS,
WHOM THEY SACRIFICED TO THE IDOLS OF CANAAN,
AND THE LAND WAS DESECRATED BY THEIR BLOOD.
39 THEY DEFILED THEMSELVES BY WHAT THEY DID;
BY THEIR DEEDS THEY PROSTITUTED THEMSELVES.
The Canaanite religion was similar to the of the Ancient Scandinavians and Celtic Peoples who also were partly of Israelite stock but had adopted Canaanite customs.

7. How Many CJVs are there?
Recently we have begun using the CJV i.e.
The Complete Tanakh (Tanach) - Hebrew Bible
https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/63255/jewish/The-Bible-with-Rashi.htm
The Complete Jewish Bible (CJV) as promoted by Chabad.
This is quite good though in some cases we prefer a more literal translation such as that of the King James or others.
There is another work known as the CJV (Complete Jewish Bible)
and promoted by a Messianic Jewish group.
"Complete Jewish Bible: An English Version by David H. Stern,"
We have nothing to do with this and have not even looked at it.
From now on in order to avoid confusion in future we will use the initials (acronym) TCT (The Complete Tanakh).

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.
