1. Additions to Article. Britons called Iberi
The following has been added to our article,
The Celts as Israelites
Ancient Peoples of the West Called Themselves Hebrews
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/biblical-proof/attributes/hebrewcelts.html
 Ptolemy did call the island of Ireland "Iouerni" and this is considered to be a form of the name Iberni. Dionysius of Alexandria in Egypt (ca. 190-264 CE) referred to the inhabitants of Britain as Iberi.
Whatever the case as to whether or not Ptolemy referred to the British as also Iberi we believe it to reflect an historical truth.
Not only that but our impression, and that of scholars who went before us, is that a leading element amongst peoples of Celtic Culture in general called themselves Iberi.
We also consider this term to be derived from the Hebrew word, IBRI, which in the Hebrew Language is how the name Hebrew is pronounced.
Such a notion may sound far-fetched but it fits the facts as the following notes show.
Pytheas of Massilia (c. 320 BCE), called the island of Ireland, Iern, and this too is probably a form of the name Iberni.
Earlier sources traced the word-root Eber to an ancestral figure.
A legendary early king of Britain, recalled by Geoffrey of Monmouth (1100-1155 CE), was named Ebraucus.
This name bears the EBER root. It was recognized that the word-root Eber related to an ancestral figure.
Ebraucus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebraucus
Ebraucus (Welsh: Efrawg/Efrog) ...founded Kaerebrauc (City of Ebraucus) (later York) north of the Humber, (see Eboracum) and Alclud in Albany, (see Dunbarton, capital of Strathclyde). He had twenty wives who produced twenty sons and thirty daughters. All his daughters he sent to his cousin Silvius Alba in Alba Longa (Italy) to be married to the other Trojan descendants. Except for Brutus Greenshield, all of Ebraucus's sons, led by Assaracus, went to Germany, creating a kingdom there. Brutus thus succeeded Ebraucus upon his death.
One of the names of Ireland was Hibernia.
Irish tradition said that the name Hibernia came from an ancestor named Iber, or Heber, or Eber, thus showing that the different forms are all considered of the same origin, as in Hebrew.
Hibernia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernia
The High King Brian Boru (c. 941-1014) based his title on being emperor of the Irish people, which was in Latin: "Imperator Scottorum", as distinct from claiming to be Emperor of the island of Ireland. From 1172 the Lordship of Ireland gave the King of England the additional title "Dominus Hibernie" (sic, for Hiberniae; also "Dominus Hybernie"), Lord of Ireland. The Kingdom of Ireland created the title Rex Hiberniae, King of Ireland, for use in Latin texts. Gerard Mercator called Ireland "Hybernia" on his world map of 1541. In 1642 the motto of the Irish Confederates, a Catholic-landlord administration that ruled much of Ireland until 1650 was: Pro Deo, Rege et Patria, Hibernia Unanimis. (In English: For God, King and Fatherland, Ireland is United).

Reply:
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is about the peoples in question realizing who they are rather than individuals attaching themselves to Judah.
What about you?
Can you help us keep functioning?
Or is that a No/No?

3. Stephen Phillips:Â Inis Ealga or the Noble Island Name of Ireland
Re The Names of Ireland and the Ten Tribes
#1. Two of the Names: Ends of the Earth and the Most Noble Section of them.
http://www.britam.org/NamesErin.html#1
you said:
One of the names was Inis Ealga signifying the noble or excellent island....
Isaiah linked the Ten Tribes with the end(s) of the world and with the most noble parts of it.
e.g "But thou Israel, my servant Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend...Whom I have taken from the ENDS OF THE EARTH and called thee from the most noble parts hereof" (Isaiah 41:8-9).
===============================
Hi Yair
Â
FYI - Inis Ealga:
Inis from the Hebrew Iy, meaning isle. The addition of the 'n' was common in the Celtic languages as was the addition of the 's'.
Ealga - pronounced Elya - from the Hebrew aliya or aliyon meaning 'high'. The word noble is likewise from the Latin word nobilis meaning 'noted' or 'high-born'.

4. The Name Stephen, Steve, and a Hiding Secret? Joseph the Hidden One
Stephen Philips, Stephen Spykerman, Steven Dotson, Steve Mathe, Steven Collins, Steven Hale, and more.
I hope those I have forgotten will forgive me.
I also hope that if I have confused anyone name Steven with Stephen or vice versa that this be overlooked.
I myself am not called Stephen. Neither is any of my family. I did once meet a girl called Stephanie but apart from a 2-minute conversation nothing came of it.
I therefore have no personal stake in this name.
Anyway people with this name over the years have played an inordinate role which has been remarked upon previously a good while ago.
Here are a few extracts from what was written then:
===============================
"Brit-Am Now"-858
#2. Hidden "Stephen" and the Lost Ten Tribes
A quick Google search said that Steven and Stephen are two forms of
the same name and that they derive from the Greek meaning "crown".
They could (as you [Ted Dorner] suggest) however just as well be derived from the Hebrew word-root "TSaFoN" (or "tsafan") meaning "hidden".
In Hebrew Word Root Exegesis we have a principal that if a word or name parallels a Hebrew root then the Hebrew meaning has significance no matter what the name may have originally meant in any other language.
The concept of "hidden" has particular significance for the Lost Ten Tribes.
The God of Israel is called a "God who Hides Himsef":
 [Isaiah 45:15] VERILY THOU ART A GOD THAT HIDEST THYSELF, O GOD OF ISRAEL, THE SAVIOUR.
The Lost Tribes in Britain were linked with a God who hides Himself. Saturn said the Romans had been deposed from the Eastern Mediterranean and after passing through Italy had gone to live in the British Isles.
The Roman Saturn was equated with the Greek Typhon and both were identified in Classical Thought with the God of Israel or with Israelites in general. The name "Saturn" is derived from the Hebrew "Sater" meaning "hide". Typhon is a form of the Hebrew "Tsephon" also meaning "Hide" or "Hidden". There was a pagan idol known as "Baal Tsefon" that was confused by foreigners with the God of Israel.
By identifying Saturn with Israel and the God of Israel and saying he had been deposed and gone to the British Isles the Romans in their own way were saying that part of the Ancient Israelites (i.e. the Lost Ten Tribes)Â had been expelled and made their way westwards.
These traditions are reflected in Arabic ones derived from Jewish Sources. It was said that the Sons of Ad who were brother of the Sons of Hud (the Jews) because of their sins had been driven away and had gone to live in Gabalk (France) and in the Isles of the Blessed (Britain and Ireland) in the Western Ocean.

In Rabbinical Tradition the Lost Ten Tribes were often described  as somehow "hidden away".
The very concept of being "lost" also connotes that of being "hidden".
===============================
Brit-Am Now no. 1625
Joseph himself was called something like Stephen!
# And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah# (Genesis 41:44).
In Hebrew "Zaphnath-Paaneah" means "Hidden Things [Tsaphanot"]-Revealer [Panaeach]of".
Now when the Ten Tribes reached the Lands of the North... they must have adapted themselves to the local conditions.
Tsaphanot Panaeach must have been quite a mouthful for the local boys and to have required an inordinate amount of time to enunciate.
Maybe the result was "Stepen"?
Brit-Am Now no. 1625
#2. Hidden Stevens and Joseph!

5. Proverbs 19:11-14 The Value of Restraint
Proverbs 19:
11 Those with good sense are slow to anger,
  and it is their glory to overlook an offence.
12 A king�s anger is like the growling of a lion,
  but his favour is like dew on the grass.
13 A stupid child is ruin to a father,
  and a wife�s quarrelling is a continual dripping of rain.
14 House and wealth are inherited from parents,
  but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
