THE ISRAELITE ORIGIN OF THE SCYTHIANSBy Steven M. Collins. Introduction The ten tribes of Israel essentially vanished from their former Kingdom of Israel by circa 7. BC. They had been a powerful kingdom in the Eastern Mediterranean region for centuries prior to that time. They had been allied to the city states of Tyre, Sidon, etc. Phoenician Empire. Their alliance dominated the ancient worlds maritime trade routes and, from the time of King David onward, became a powerful military power on land as well. They were exceedingly blessed by God during the time of Kings David and Solomon, but a long succession of sinful kings led to a steady decline in the strength and influence of the kingdom of Israel. During an approximately 2. B. C., the ten tribes of Israel went into foreign exile in several waves. At the beginning of this period, the Assyrians took captive the tribe of Naphtali and the Gileadite tribes of Gad, Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh II Kings 1. By circa 7. 21 B. C., all of the ten tribes of Israel who had formed the northern kingdom of Israel had been removed from their lands II Kings 1. While the house of Judah remained in the Promised Land for a time, many have puzzled over the fate and future of the ten tribes of Israel. Where did they go While the Bible foretold that the tribes of Israel would scatter, literally, to all four directions Genesis 2. Israel to one largely ignored confederation of tribes which emerged afterward in the region of South Russia the Scythians. Clues for Tracing the Exiled Ten Tribes The ten tribes of Israel can be traced after their exile via both secular and scriptural evidence. This article will give several of the major pieces of evidence for doing so, but first some pervasive misconceptions about the ten tribes must first be addressed.

The harmony of the time statements in the Scripture strengthens our confidence in the accuracy of the inspired. Theologians use biblical criticism to date when various books in the Bible were written. This helps them. It is commonly assumed by many that the ten tribes were abandoned by God, or that they died out. Neither assumption is correct. The ten tribes of Israel were led by the two tribes which descended from Joseph Ephraim and Manasseh. These tribes were given the Divine birthright blessings by Jacob later called Israel when he died Genesis 4. The birthright blessings remained with these tribes from that time forward. These blessings included large populations, material wealth, national power, etc., and God gave them to Abraham and his descendants unconditionally and permanently. National sins and rebelliousness could and did cause God to withdraw these blessings at times, but they could not be permanently lost. This is an important point which God himself made in a prophecy concerning the about to be exiled Israelites in Hosea 1. The prophecy in Hosea 1 was written decades before the ten tribes went into exile for their growing sinfulness. Hosea 1 1 9 prophesied that God was about to exile the ten tribes of Israel from their land, but the tribe of Judah would be allowed to remain. Most people think that this prophecy is a grim judgment on the ten tribes that God was forsaking them. However, Hosea 1 1. Divine blessing that would be poured out on the ten tribes after their exile. Verse 1. 0 prophesies that God would vastly increase the population of the ten tribes after he removed them from the Promised Land. The promise of a large population was part of the birthright blessings given to Abraham Genesis 2. Hosea 1 1. 0 repeats the very language of Genesis 2. Commentaries on the Bible.

Westminster Theological Journal 33 May 1971, pp. This thick volume represents an English version. Abrahams descendants would be as numerous as the sand of the sea. This prophecy confirms that God had not forgotten his covenant with Abrahams birthright descendants. He affirmed that he would continue to pour out the blessings of the Divine birthright blessings upon the ten tribes after their exile. This promise gives us a major clue about locating the transplanted ten tribes They must be a numerous people with large populations Let us examine another clue. Genesis 2. 1 1. 2 prophesied that Abrahams descendants would be known by the name of Abrahams son, Isaac. Since the birthright blessing was given to Ephraim and Manasseh, the name of Isaac would primarily be placed on these two tribes. Genesis 4. 8 1. 6 records that Jacob called Israel blessed Ephraim and Manasseh with these words Let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. This blessing affirms that these two tribes will bear the name of Isaac upon them throughout history. This had occurred already before the ten tribes were sent into exile. A prophecy in Amos 7 1. Israel i. e. the house of Israel in verse 1. Isaac. In ancient times, vowels were not written, so the consonants of Isaacs name would be S C or S K dependent on the language in which the word appeared. Applying the prophetic clue in Genesis 2. Israel by locating tribes which have Isaacs name attached to them. What Direction Did the Ten Tribes Go While it is this authors belief that groups of migrating Israelites went to a number of diverse locations, the Bible does give us evidence that most of the exiled Israelites migrated generally to the north and east of the old Promised Land. II Kings 1. 5 2. Gileadite tribes and the tribe of Naphtali were carriedcaptive to Assyria. The Assyrian Empire was located to the east of the kingdom of Israel, so these tribes were carried eastward into Asia. When the inhabitants of Samaria were carried captive, II Kings 1. Halah, Habor and the cities of the Medes. Media was long identified with the region south of the Caspian Sea, which was in a somewhat northeastern direction from Samaria, but it was still mostly eastward. The apocryphal book of II Esdras 1. Assyrians and migrated independently to a land called Arzareth. Secular evidence indicates that this was in the region of the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. A Medieval Jewish historian named Eldad is cited as the source of a report that at the time of the fall of Samaria, the ten tribes of Israel evaded the calamity, going off with their flocks, and turning nomads, and that the chiefwhom they appointed could muster 1. To be escorted by 2. Israelites must have numbered well over a million people. The Black Sea region to which they are reputed to have escaped is almost straight north of the old kingdom of Israel. The Bible has an account which indicates that Eldads report is factual. In Jeremiah 3, God sent a message of reconciliation to the ten tribes of Israel even as he proclaimed that the end of the kingdom of Judah was near. These messages to Israel and Judah were given approximately a century after the ten tribes went into exile. It is most noteworthy that God told Jeremiah that the message to the ten tribes i. Israel should be sent to the north. God knew where the ten tribes were a century after their exile and he told Jeremiah that they lived to the north of Jeremiahs location in Jerusalem. Draw a line northward from Jerusalem and you will come to the Black Sea region, exactly where ancient sources place a large body of migrating Israelites. The people living in that region were known as Scythian or Sacae tribes. Were these the Israelite tribes Origins of the Scythians Most of the Israelite tribes scattered into Asia circa 7. B. C.  Secular historical records should be consulted to identify related tribes which did not arrive in Asia until roughly that period of time. The Encyclopedia Americana records the Scythians arrived in the region of South Russia about 7. Bible Browser The Liturgical Psalter. Liturgical Psalterfirst published as.
