And Dan was the fifth son of Jacob

 And the sons of Jacob where the twelves tribes of Israel.

The name Dan means hidden one?

Incidentally the name of God is not to be mentioned by the Jews, hence it is to be hidden.

So some Irish say that they can trace their lineage directedly to Biblical Kings.

If you do some research their is some question as to if the Irish are the Fifth Tribe of Israel, a lost tribe?

So they would have also been Celtics?

And the Celtics summarily defeated the Romans in their first War with them.  "Ust Barbarians" defeating one of the most horrific empires in world history?  Who knew.  The Celtics believed in a Meritocracy.  The more salt you mined the richer you got.

England was a Colony of Rome.

And this is just some rambling.

But there was a British Israelite group that believed that a monument in Ireland held the Arc of the Covenant.  And they went so far as to start to excavate that place in Ireland.

So the Bible tells us that an upper portion of Israel belongs to the Tribe of Dan.

Can't wait to claim it?  :)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

So is there some downplaying of the importance of the Tribe of Dan?  Something to do with the female lineage being from Bilhah?  And from my reading the tribe of Dan adhered more to what were considered to be pagan beliefs.  That would be consistent with Celtics.

Read something about the Gaelec language being similar to a form of a Hebrew language?  But I am not sure what I was reading and can't confirm what it means.  Incidentally Galel is a boy name of hebrew origin meaning "Wave of God."  galel - Search (bing.com)

But interesting stuff.

The tribe of Dan would have a different genetic haplotype (write word?) as being from Bilhah?

And this is all just speculation?

I wonder what Bilhah looked like?
