This territory was then an unknown, unnamed, unexplored "triangular" landmass. However these names are much later names from the Romanised Latin used when the Romans, and Greeks before them either explored, colonised or conquered the furthest reaches of the western Mediterranean and beyond, into the North Eastern Atlantic Islands of Britain. "New Land of the Iberu" - Ibernia, the "N" of the part "Nia" means "New". Again they give their name to this land, or at least a part of it's coastline. They then sail northerly and land in modern day Ireland, Britain. They gave their name to the land they settled after leaving Egypt "Land of the Iberu" - Iberia. They were still called Eberu or Iberu (Herbews). Some are said to end up in Ireland, via Spain and Portugal, collectively known as the Iberian Penninsula. The rest, esitmated at 80% remain behind, either dying of disease, are killed by the resentful Egyptians or manage to flee by sea going vessels to other parts of the Mediterranean and beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Straights of Gibralter) between North Africa and Spain. Only 1/5 (20%) estimated manage to actually flee. The cull of 1st born males is ordered by the Pharoh Shishank, and widespread outrage ensues.Īfter 10 plagues, some of the Hebrew people leave Egypt. They go "forth and multiply" in population numbers, massively, and the native Egyptians begin to feel threatened. They stay as poorly paid "guest" workers or slaves for about 350 - 400 years. In modern terms they would be perceived as migrant labour and refugees.
So the 12 sons of Jacob, tribes of Israel enter Egypt during a time of drought and famine. Moishe (Moses) has at least 10 other names, including Toviah, meaning "Good". Some names are given by G-d, some are simply given by parents at birth. This is after he wrestled or fought with some sort of higher lifeform, which is textually referred to as an "Angel". Jacob is given another name Yisroel (Israel), an alias, as do many of the biblical characters. These become known as "The 12 tribes of Israel". They give birth to 12 sons and a daughter, Dinah between them. Isaac then has a son, Yaa'kov (Jacob) who has 2 wives and mistresses or handmaids. His offspring contribute to the Arab Nation, but don't actually found that nation, they are in historical terms just a part of another nomadic migration. Ishmael leaves and emigrates to the Arabian Pennisular, joining the other various tribal people already established and living there. The two brothers have sibling rivralries between them over their lifetimes. Islamic belief argues that Ishmael and Isaac are twins, where as Judeo-Christian tradition hold that they are half brothers. Another son is later born legitimately to his wife Sarah, when the couple are both in their old age. His first son, Ishmael is not born to his wife Sarah, but born illegitimatly to his maid servent, Hagar. Then it becomes crystalized as Hebrew.Ībraham marries and has a family.
Over time, distance and translation, the name Eber becomes Eberu (Ibiru). Then one of a chain of settlements ( villages, hill-forts, towns, citadels, and cities) dotted along the course of the Tigris River, in ancient Mesopotamia.
That is of course until now.Įber was a distant ancestor, several times great grandfather of Avram (Abraham).Įber was from the town of Nippur, in present day Iraq. Their true identity had been forgotten or obscured by the dust and decay of history.
This is the incredibely compelling story of how ancient Israelite tribes-people managed to navigate a course to, and settle in the Emerald Isle of Ireland, millenia ago.
