1. Psalms (TCT Tanak - Chabad) 77:
1 FOR THE CONDUCTOR ON JEDUTHUN, A SONG OF ASAPH.
2 MY VOICE IS TO GOD, AND I SHALL CRY OUT; MY VOICE IS TO GOD, AND HEARKEN TO ME.
3 ON THE DAY OF MY DISTRESS, I SOUGHT THE LORD; MY WOUND OOZES AT NIGHT AND DOES NOT ABATE; MY SOUL REFUSES TO BE COMFORTED.
4 I REMEMBER GOD AND I STIR; I SPEAK AND MY SPIRIT BECOMES FAINT, FOREVER.
5 YOU HELD FAST THE AWAKENINGS OF MY EYES; I THROB AND I DO NOT SPEAK.
6 I THINK OF DAYS OF YORE, ANCIENT YEARS.
7 I RECALL MY MUSIC AT NIGHT; I SPEAK WITH MY HEART AND MY SPIRIT SEARCHES.
8 "WILL THE LORD FORSAKE [ME] FOREVER AND NEVERMORE BE APPEASED?
9 HAS HIS KINDNESS ENDED FOREVER? HAS HE ISSUED A DECREE FOR ALL GENERATIONS?
10 HAS GOD FORGOTTEN TO BE GRACIOUS? HAS HE, IN ANGER, SHUT OFF HIS MERCY FOREVER?"
11 AND I SAID, "THIS IS TO TERRIFY ME, THE CHANGE OF THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MOST HIGH."
12 I RECALL THE DEEDS OF YAH WHEN I REMEMBER YOUR WONDER FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL.
13 AND I MEDITATE OVER ALL YOUR WORKS, AND I SPEAK OF YOUR DEEDS.
14 O GOD, YOUR WAY IS IN SANCTITY. WHO IS A POWER AS GREAT AS GOD?
15 YOU ARE THE GOD WHO WORKS WONDERS; YOU MADE KNOWN YOUR MIGHT AMONG THE PEOPLES.
16 YOU REDEEMED YOUR PEOPLE WITH YOUR ARM, THE SONS OF JACOB AND JOSEPH FOREVER.
17 THE WATERS PERCEIVED YOU, O GOD, THE WATERS PERCEIVED YOU, THEY TREMBLED, EVEN THE DEEPS QUAKED.
18 THEY POURED FORTH THICK WATERS; THE SKIES LET OUT A VOICE, EVEN YOUR ARROWS WENT ABROAD.
19 THE SOUND OF YOUR THUNDER IS LIKE A WHEEL; THE LIGHTNING ILLUMINATED THE WORLD; THE EARTH SHOOK AND QUAKED.
20 IN THE SEA WAS YOUR WAY, AND YOUR PATH IN THE MIGHTY WATERS, AND YOUR STEPS WERE NOT KNOWN.
21 YOU LED YOUR PEOPLE LIKE SHEEP BY THE HAND OF MOSES AND AARON.

4. Answer to: Quora Query:
Are the Danes from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel "The tribe of Dan"? Is that the reason why so many Danes look similar to Jews?
https://www.quora.com/Are-the-Danes-from-the-Ten-Lost-Tribes-of-Israel-The-tribe-of-Dan-Is-that-the-reason-why-so-many-Danes-look-similar-to-Jews/answer/Yair-Davidiy
The Danes are named after the Israelite Tribe of Dan. A significant proportion of the Danish population may descend from Israelites. Whether or not many of them look like Jews is a matter of opinion. After ca. 3000 years of separation, genetic drift, different environmental influences, and possibly some foreign admixture one does not need to find close physical similarities.
As for DNA:
==============
(1) Nationwide Genomic Study in Denmark Reveals Remarkable Population Homogeneity
Denmark presented genomic affinity with primarily neighboring countries with overall resemblance of decreasing weight from Britain, Sweden, Norway, Germany, and France. A Polish admixture signal was detected in Zealand and Funen, and our date estimates coincided with historical evidence of Wend settlements in the south of Denmark.
==============
(2) DNA of the people of Denmark
According to The ALlele FREquency Database, 10.8% of the 102 Danish people studied carry at least one T allele in the R151C (rs1805007) gene where TT usually causes red hair.
==============
(3) Sweeping DNA Survey Highlights Vikings' Surprising Genetic Diversity By Tara Wu
Extracts:
The results showed that Viking identity didn't always equate to Scandinavian ancestry. Just before the Viking Age (around 750 to 1050 A.D.), for instance, people from Southern and Eastern Europe migrated to what is now Denmark, introducing DNA more commonly associated with the Anatolia region. In other words, writes Kiona N. Smith for Ars Technica, Viking-era residents of Denmark and Sweden shared more ancestry with ancient Anatolians than their immediate Scandinavian predecessors did.
In addition to comparing samples collected at different archaeological sites, the team drew comparisons between historical humans and present-day Danish people. They found that Viking Age individuals had a higher frequency of genes linked to dark-colored hair, subverting the image of the typical light-haired Viking.
'It's pretty clear from the genetic analysis that Vikings are not a homogenous group of people,' lead author Eske Willerslev, director of the University of Copenhagen's Center of Excellence GeoGenetics, tells National Geographic. 'A lot of the Vikings are mixed individuals.'
==============
It would seem that ALL DNA Findings are due in part to Environment Influence! This does not mean that it cannot tell us a lot concerning heredity and ethnic associations. We just need to find when and where environment kicks in and why it does so at some times and not at others. Nevertheless, just taking DNA at its face value no (3) above relates the Danish to the region of Anatolia i.e. modern day Turkey. Jewish DNA is closer to modern Anatolian (Turkish) and Kurdish DNA than to any other. There may be something here or there may not. The Vikings came mainly from Denmark, and Norway with some from Sweden. The Danes as Vikings also settled on the northeast coast of England, on the east coast of Ireland, and elsewhere. Together with others from Norway they also settled in Normandy in France. After mixing with the locals they gave rise to the Normans who conquered England in 1066.
The Tribe of Dan in the Land of Israel is conventionally considered to have been in two locations. Originally Dan had received its territory in the vicinity of Jaffa on the coast.
==============
The Book of Joshua tells us:
Joshua (KJV) 19: And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
The Book of Judges (chapter 18) relates how 600 men from Dan in the south went north and found a place named Laish whose inhabitants lived like Sidonian-Phoenicians. They conquered Laish, wiped out the inhabitants, and renamed the place Dan.
Both versions relate how the inheritance of the children of Dan in the south was either too small for them (Joshua ch.18) or how they had not taken possession of that which had been allocated to them (Judges ch.19). Both tell how the Danites went north seized a city, slew its inhabitants and re-settled it naming it after DAN their father. Nevertheless LESHEM and LAISH were two different places!
"Leshem" means a type of precious stone (both amber and jacinth have been suggested) whereas "Liash" means "a young lion." The place called Leshem and renamed Dan in the Book of Joshua was the site of DAN in Northern Galilee otherwise known as Daphne. On the other hand, LIASH which was also renamed DAN and is recalled in the Book of Judges (ch.19) was otherwise known as LUASH of the DANANU! LUASH was in the region of Smal of Cilicia in modern Southeast Turkey. An Assyrian inscription indicates that Dananu also ruled over Cyprus.
Eldad HaDani (ca.880 CE) quoted an old legend according to which the Tribe of Dan left the Land of Israel after the Ten Tribes separated themselves from Judah. The Northern Ten Tribes under Jeroboam ben Nebat warred against Judah in the south and so Dan rather than engage in a fratricidal struggle went into voluntary exile. Jewish Rabbinical tradition said that: "In the period of the Judges there were wars and many were exiled among the nations of the world" (HaNatziv, Numbers 24:7).
Nevertheless, most of Dan were taken into exile by the Assyrians. The Tribe of Dan had the habit of naming places they sojourned in after Dan their father.
Some have interpreted the phrase "Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path" (Genesis 49:16) as referring to a Tribal Trait of leaving their namesake everywhere along the path they went just as a snake leaves the trail of his crawling in the dust of the path, e.g. "Mahaneh Dan" (i.e. Camp of Dan, Judges 18:12), Leshem renamed after Dan their father (Joshua 19:41); and Liash renamed after Dan their father (Judges 18;29). The king of Sma'al in southeast Anatolia on the edge of LUASH (LIASH) called himself "KING of the DANIM" i.e. in Hebrew "King of the Dans." We also have the names showing pathways of migrations such as the Rivers Don, Daneister, Danaper, Danube, in the east leading to Denmark. Elements from Dan were also to be found in the British Isles in Celtic times where we find the Rivers Don in the north, the settlement Danum (by the Parisi, as noted by Ptolemy) also in the north, Dannonia in Devon, and the Tribe of Dana in Ireland.
The Tribe of Dan in the land of Israel were seafarers from an early stage:
"Why did DAN remain in ships?" (Judges 6:7) asked the Prophetess Deborah. According to the Midrash Rabah Dan was to be associated with the far north, "whence darkness comes" reminding one of Scandinavia and its long dark winters. The Prophet Ezekiel linked Dan with Javan (i.e. Ionia in west Anatolia or Greece in general) as trading with Phoenician Tyre:
"Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in the fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market" (Ezekiel 27:19).
The above verse is alternatively translatable (from the Hebrew) as saying:
"Dan and Yavan from Uzzal were your sub-contracting intermediaries, they gave iron manufactured, alloyed, and in bars. They were among your guarantors" (Ezekiel 27:19).
Cilicia in southeast Anatolia was one source of iron and the Dananu were in Cilicia.
The-reminds us of Scandinavia in the Bronze Age with its metallurgical achievements and archaeologically proven associations with the East Mediterranean including Mycenean Greece, Egypt, Cyprus, Anatolia, and Phoenicia. Bronze Age swords from Denmark have been found in Egypt. From the same period, amber from the Scandinavian ambit turned up on Crete. Israelites from Dan were among the inhabitants of the Phoenician city of Tyre (1-Kings 7:13). The Israeli Naval Historian Tsvi Herman ("Amin, Yamim, Oniot", Hebrew, 1962) said the later Viking longship of Scandinavia was in effect almost identical in both structure and appearance with the Phoenician small long range ship, known to the Greeks as "Hyppo," i.e. the "horse."
Jacob (aka Israel) begat Dan and Naphtali from Bihah the maidservants of Rachel. Samson the heroic strongman of Ancient Israel (Judges chapters 13-16) was from the Tribe of Dan. Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935, Igorot 4:89) said that Dan through Samson represents the aspect of physical strength sanctified for a higher purpose. Israel will have need of this quality in the End Times.
A Midrash states that Samson had a Danite father and a mother from Judah whereas the future Messiah will have a father from Judah and a mother from Dan (Yalkut Shomeoni and Midrash Agada, Buber, on Genesis 49:9). Dan is also listed (in the book "Kol haTor") as destined to assist the future Messiah Son of Joseph who will lead the Ten Tribes back from Exile and prepare the way for their reunification with Judah, i.e. the Jews.
A contingent from Judah accompanied Dan to southeast Anatolia. They were referred to by the Assyrians as "Yadi" which is the same name given to Yehudah in the south. They were later exiled by the Assyrians. The Jutes in Denmark dwelt in Jutland. In Nordic dialects the terms "Jew" and "Jute" had the same meaning. In the 1400s CE a Latin chronicle, "Chronicon Holsatiae Vetus," stated that the Danes were of the Tribe of Dan, while the Jutes came from Judah. An English antiquary, Henry Spelman in 1620, also linked the Danes to the Israelite Tribe of Dan. Saxo Grammaticus (1160-1220) in his history of the Danish people, "Gesta Danorum," says that their ancestor was Dan the Great brother of Angle, and son of Humble. In Biblical Hebrew, "Humble" is one of the connotations that may be associated with the name "Jacob."
The name "Dan" in Hebrew means judgment connoting a legalistic frame of mind.
An article, "5 Danish traits you should embrace to improve your life."
https://allthingsnordic.eu/5-danish-traits-you-should-embrace-to-improve-your-life/
lists the following characteristics of Danish people:
Respect. The Danes are so respectful of other people's privacy...
Straightforwardness. The Danes cut to the point....
Openness & honesty. The Danes rarely hide their opinion...
Punctuality. ... Appointments are what they mean....meetings must last the minimum necessary time.
Humour. They say that the birthplace of sarcasm is Denmark!
These qualities all reflect the quality of Judgment.
One of my Jewish grandparents, Leo Jacoby, came from Denmark. The Danish were anti-Jewish in some ways but in World War-2 they went out of their war to save Jews and rescued nearly all those resident in their land.
