Were Adam & Eve Jewish?

[Woodznutz]

what are you calling "your bible"?

My main one, the KJV.

You can settle the matter by reading 2 Chronicles 30 through chapter 31: 1.

Judah, Levi, and Benjamin.

A portion of Levi. Levi was the priest tribe and was scattered among all twelve tribes.

[Woodznutz]

yes, dear

Jeremiah 33:17
For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel (the house of Judah is long gone).

Early on but not after the split. Jeroboam appointed his own priesthood.

1 Kings 13:33
After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

 

[surada]

A few from the Northern kingdom came to Jerusalum for the feasts, but eventually returned to Samaria. The two kingdoms were definitely distinct and actually went to war against each other.

The Northern Kingdom was more prosperous and cosmopolitan... There was considerable animosity and jealousy.

The Jewish version is identical, still not impressed?

It's a well known fact that Israel was made up of 10 tribes and Judah was made up of two. If 100% of Levi went with Judah and Benjamin, then we'd read about the 9 tribes of Israel and the 3 tribes of Judah. So it's likely that many of the priests of Levi went southward, but it's also likely that the majority of Levites were taken captive by the Assyrians and transported to the areas of Iran and Iraq with the Israelites.

Joseph was divided into the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh (also called 'half-tribes') that makes 10 tribes in the Northern Kingdom and 3 in in Judah.

True that Joseph's sons shared their father's inheritance but when you read Revelation chapter 7, you'll notice that Dan isn't mentioned. Some believe that the tribe of Dan lost all of their inheritance.

Nevertheless, I can find no verse or passage stating that 100% of the tribe of Levi separated themselves from the 10 northern tribes.


From: What happened to the tribe of Levi during the captivity?

"Question:​

When the northern kingdom went into Assyrian captivity, that left the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. What happened to the tribe of Levi? Did they go into captivity as well?

Answer:​

The tribe of Levi's inheritance was scattered among the other tribes. Thus, you would expect the Levites to be taken into captivity along with the members of the other tribes who were captured. After Assyria had taken all the Israelites away from the northern tribes, he replaced the people with people from other areas of his empire (II Kings 17:24). However, God sent lions to harass these foreigners (II Kings 17:25). The king of Assyria thought that the lions were due to local gods not being appeased, so had a priest, who had been captured, to return to the area and teach the people how to worship the God there (II Kings 17:26-28). Priests come from the tribe of Levi, so we know some of Levi had been carried off into captivity.

By the way, this is how the Samaritans came about."

Perhaps some Levites remained in Samaria, but most were engaged in the temple service in Jerusalem especially for the annual feasts, so most would have remained there.

Also, the Benjamites remained with Judah as their land was contiguous with Judah.

21 "And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon."

It is also very likely that any Levites that were in Samaria returned to Judea when they were replaced as priests by Jeroboam.

Actually, the Samaritans, as they were called in Jesus' day, were those transplanted by the Assyrians. However, many Israelites from the northern kingdom still remained in the land as well. It was to those that Jesus began his ministry.

Interestingly, Jesus, Paul, and Peter spent time searching for "the lost sheep of the house of Israel" in Europe. Some historical documents point towards Jesus travelling as far as the British Isles in search for His lost sheep. I personally believe that one of the reasons the Scandinavian and Germanic lands of modern Europe are under such heavy attack by Satan and his minions is because they ARE the lost sheep of the House of Israel and are systematically being eliminated (if it were possible).

I think we're on the same page.

The reason you're so far off the mark is because you have no clue about the teachings of biblical history. So before jumping into a topic you're horribly misinformed about, try reading the Bible first.

Because you know what they say: Opinions are as plentiful as rear-ends -- everyone has one.

Very nice. But I'm not interested in fairy tales.
