Description:"Most interesting." - Established Church in Glasgow, 1839 "Extensive and scholarly research…a curious mass of learning." -An Essay Towards an Indian Bibliography, 1873 Outcast from the inhabited earth, deprived of letters, and even of the means and materials necessary to civilized life, did the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel eventually migrate to an uninhabited America? Analyzing and quoting the histories and opinions of Lord Kingsbury, Las Casas, Boturini, Gomara, Gumilla, Sahagun, and Peter Martyr, Scottish author Barbara Allan Simon (1786 - 1874) in her 1836 book "The Ten Tribes of Israel Historically Identified with the Aborigines of the Western Hemisphere" seeks to demonstrate that the Native Americans of the New World are the true descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. Her book is replete with striking coincidences between what was to be seen among the Indians and what might be expected among the ten lost tribes. These included: • The Indians are divided into tribes and heads of tribes, and those divisions are characterised by symbols, some of which are the very cherubimical figures that were carried on the four principal standards of Israel; • They are destitute of letters, and in a state of barbarism; and yet they possess all the marks of a people who had not only been civilised, but distinguished by receiving a revelation from God; • The “Great Spirit,” the head of the Indian tribes, is called YEHOWA, and that they acknowledge him to be their omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient Creator and Sustainer; • With fond desire they look forward to the time when a deliverer shall come from the land of the sun-rising, and lead them thither whence their fathers wandered, and restore to them the Great Good Book, which was once the glory of their nation; • They count their time by moons, and observe the first night of the new moon with rejoicing; that they hold anniversary feasts of a religious character,—one out of gratitude for the green corn, and another for the ingathering, and another in the evening, in which not a bone of the animal is broken, at which the neighbours are invited to partake of the superabundant fare, when the remainder is buried before the dawn of day, and the people are cleansed from sin by eating bitter herbs; • There exist among them cities of refuge, possessed of the same immunities as those among the Jews; • They have a certain place into which the high priest alone enters to make atonement, and addresses his hearers as the beloved peculiar people, in what they call “the ancient divine speech”; • Their prophets had the power of working miracles, and of foretelling future events; • They have something like an imitation of the ark of the covenant, which is never allowed to reach the ground, and which none but the officiating priest dare touch or look into, on pain of death; • Once a-year there is an assembling of the whole male population; • They maintain more traditional fragments of Scriptural history, such as the deluge, the building of Babel, and the longevity of the ancients. Based on historical sources Simon theorizes the lost tribes crossed the Euphrates at the upper region toward Georgia, then bent their course between the Black and Caspian seas, which would bring them to north-east Asia where they found frozen the waters of the Bering Strait, which they crossed to the uninhabited land, or wilderness of America. The evidence brought forward by Simon's book cannot fail to compel every reflecting mind to enquire whether there is any probability that this western people, "Asiatic in their genius and manners, and Jewish in their phyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
