1. Psalm (TCT) 119 (part 3 verses 41-60, out of 176).
41 AND MAY YOUR ACTS OF KINDNESS BEFALL ME, O LORD, YOUR SALVATION ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.
42 AND I SHALL ANSWER A WORD TO THOSE WHO DISGRACE ME, FOR I TRUSTED IN YOUR WORD.
43 AND DO NOT TAKE OUT UTTERLY FROM MY MOUTH A WORD OF TRUTH, BECAUSE I HOPED FOR YOUR WORDS.
44 AND I SHALL KEEP YOUR TORAH CONSTANTLY, FOREVER AND EVER.
45 AND I SHALL WALK IN WIDELY ACCEPTED WAYS, FOR I SOUGHT YOUR PRECEPTS.
46 AND I SHALL SPEAK OF YOUR TESTIMONIES IN THE PRESENCE OF KINGS, AND I SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.
47 AND I SHALL ENGAGE IN YOUR COMMANDMENTS, WHICH I LOVE.
48 AND I SHALL LIFT UP MY PALMS TO YOUR COMMANDMENTS, WHICH I LOVE, AND I SHALL CONVERSE ABOUT YOUR STATUTES.
49 REMEMBER A WORD TO YOUR SERVANT, THROUGH WHICH YOU GAVE ME HOPE.
50 THIS IS MY CONSOLATION IN MY AFFLICTION, FOR YOUR WORD HAS SUSTAINED ME.
51 WILLFUL SINNERS DERIDED ME GREATLY; I DID NOT TURN AWAY FROM YOUR TORAH.
52 I REMEMBERED YOUR JUDGMENTS OF OLD, O LORD, AND I WAS CONSOLED.
53 QUAKING GRIPPED ME BECAUSE OF THE WICKED MEN WHO ABANDONED YOUR TORAH.
54 YOUR STATUTES WERE TO ME AS SONGS IN THE HOUSE OF MY SOJOURNINGS.
55 AT NIGHT I REMEMBERED YOUR NAME, O LORD, AND I KEPT YOUR TORAH.
56 THIS CAME TO ME BECAUSE I KEPT YOUR PRECEPTS.
57 "THE LORD IS MY PORTION," I SAID, TO KEEP YOUR WORDS.
58 I ENTREATED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART; FAVOR ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.
59 I CONSIDERED MY WAYS, AND I RETURNED MY FEET TO YOUR TESTIMONIES.
60 I HASTENED AND DID NOT DELAY TO KEEP YOUR COMMANDMENTS.

2. Some English Words with Hebrew Sources. Letter L.1.
LAD, LADY, CHILD, LATE.
LAD c.1300, ladde "foot soldier," also "young male servant" (attested as a surname from late 12c.), possibly from a Scandinavian language.
In Hebrew one has the word 'Yeled' meaning 'boy,' male child. Here the Hebrew original is closer to the present usage than the supposed foreign antecedent.
LADY. A "Lady" in colloquial Englishj is a respected female.
Its etymology is given as:
c.1200, lafdi, lavede, from O.E. hlifdige "mistress of a household, wife of a lord," lit. "one who kneads bread," from hlaf "bread" (see loaf) + -dige "maid," ...The medial -f- disappeared 14c. Not found outside English except where borrowed from it
In Hebrew the root "laidah" is associated with birth. A woman gives birth.
We have Hebrew words such as "Yalda" meaning girl, and "Layda" birth, "yoledet" meaning a woman who gives birth, "miyaledet" meaning midwife, and maybe other words as well all based on the word root "YLD". If it was accepted that the Hebrew Language was one of the foundational tongues that now comprise English it would not be difficult to trace the English word 'LADY' to one of the Hebrew options!
CHILD. The English word 'CHILD' is defined as derived from O.E. cild "child, infant," possibly linked with Danish "kuld " children of the same marriage."
The Hebrew options are that the word CHILD is linked to the Hebrew words 'yeled' meaning boy, and 'cheled' meaning "a masculine mortal."
LATE
Old English "laet "occurring after the customary or expected time," originally "slow, sluggish, slack, lax, negligent," Old Saxon lat, Dutch laat, Latin lassus "faint, weary, languid, exhausted," slacken"
Slowly, with ease.
cf. Hebrew LEAT, meaning slow, and LEAH meaning "weary, slow."

3. Answer to Queries from Michelle.
Dear Mr. Davidiy,
I'm still digging through all of your numerous videos and other free articles on your websites. I've got two burning questions:
1. As I understand, the legend goes that after Babylon overthrew Jerusalem in 586 BCE, slaying King Zedekiah and his sons, what followed that event, as I understand, is his two princess daughters fled to Egypt with Profit Jeremiah. They then slowly made their way up to Ireland where Tea married into the royal bloodline up there. Is this accurate so far?
2. If the above is accurate, doesn't that mean that the royal line of David is mixed into the lost 10 tribes and dispersed through Ireland?
3. And if this is all true then that means we've got some of the tribe of Judah dispersed into the other lost 10 tribes up in Ireland/ Scotland and England? I suspect that I may have both Judah and other tribes from the northern kingdom. Trying to figure out which other tribes those might be.
4. I heard You mention in one of your YouTube videos that the name 'Jack' as is often heard in Great Britain, is actually a variation of 'Jacob'. My grandmother's last name is Jack and her father comes from Scotland bearing that family name. Is it safe to say that my great grandfather then is a 'Jacob'?
no.5 was missing.
6. Saxons is 'Issac's Sons' as I understand it. Issac had two sons, Esau and Jacob. Would the name 'Saxons' then imply that the Saxons bear the lineage of both Esau and Jacob? So both Israelite and Edomite? Could this be the case?
7. 'Yankee' is also a variation of 'Jacob'. Can you help me understand that?
Thanks again for all of your years of research, for sharing it and for answering my questions!!
In Peace,
Michelle

Brit-Am Replies:
1. Your description concerns the story of Tea Tephi. Is says that a Jewish Princess daughter of King Zedekiah and therefore descended from King David was taken by Jeremiah, or by a disciple of Jeremiah, to Ireland. This is a very popular and widely publicized story but with no known factual basis.
2. Members of the Tribe of Judah including descendants of King David are to be found among the Lost Ten Tribes (LTTs) as well as among Judah.
The father of of the Italian astronomer, Galileo Galilei, 1564-1642) one wrote that the Irish love the harp since they believe they are descedned from King David. There may be something to this concerning some of them.
3. Descendants of all the 12 Tribes are to be found in the British Isles BUT the dominant Tribes there are Ephraim and Manasseh. In Scotland and Ireland are also to be found descendants of the Tribes of Dan and Asher as well as other Tribes.
4. Jack is short for "Jacob" so anyone named "Jack" is in effect a Jacob.
5. 6. The Saxons may bear the lineage of Both Jacob and Esau. Edomites may be found among all the Tribes. Nevertheless, Jacob was the one who inherited the birthright from Isaac therefore he deserves to be named after Isaac whereas Esau does not.
Genesis (TCT) 21:12. "In Isaac will be called your seed" was a promise given to Isaac. Jacob received the Promised Hereditary Blessing given to Isaac.
Isaac blessed Jacob, "GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS YOU, AND MAKE YOU FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY YOU, THAT YOU MAY BE A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLES [Hebrew: Kahal Amim]; AND GIVE YOU THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM, TO YOU AND TO YOUR SEED WITH YOU" (Genesis 28:2-3).
7. The name "Jacob" in Hebrew is written as "Yaacov" or "Yaacob." The first part of this name could be pronounced in Bibnlical hebrew something like "Yaan(-cov)." In Yiddish slang based on the Hebrew original "Yanki" was, and is, a nick-name given to someone named Jacob.

Extract:
Christian Creationists believing in the Bible often quote very valid reasons for rejecting Radio Carbon Chronology and other such inventions.
Revisionist historians (often followers to some degree of Immanuel Velikovsky) also do the same.
In our article,
"The Bible and Creationism. articles/creatonism.html
Orthodox Jewish Rabbis and the Subject of Evolution."
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/creatonism.html
we mentioned
"Mysteries of the Creation. A Cosmology Derived from Tanach and Chazal," by Rabbi Dovid Brown, Israel, 1997, in which he explains Creation, the Flood, Biblical History, etc, within the Framework of the Biblical Timeline, through Catastrophism (similar to that of Emmanuel Velikovsky) as indicated by Talmudic and Midrashic sources.

Remark.
The changes take place in whole groups not just in individuals who pass the changes on through heredity and then increase. The changes occur in "jumps" not in graudual evolutions. The same applies to DNA changes.
