ellauri333.html on line 332: Just as culturally there is a visible dualism between northern and southern India, there is a considerable amount of difference in the manner of surnames too. For example, most northern Indians often tend to use their caste names or varna names as surnames especially in post-Independence India. On the other hand, in southern Indian communities, the most common last names for male and female children are the names of their fathers.
ellauri333.html on line 336: Owing to the fact that there was a robust anti-caste campaign in south India, many communities collectively decided to renounce caste-based surnames. However, this is not quite the case with northern Indian communities. In fact, for a very long time, many south Indian communities did not even have a designated surname and instead added an initial against their given names, for example, R. Madhavi indicating Ranganathan Madhavi, wherein Madhavi would be the given name. Like Mohannon.
ellauri333.html on line 341: For many Muslims in India, their surnames mark the influence of an Indo-Arabic ethnicity as well as some traces of caste in various parts of South Asia. For example, various surnames like Khan, Pathan, Afridi, Shaikh among several others are believed to have origins in Afghan communities in the north-western region of the Indian subcontinent. Christians and Jewish people in India also have a unique surname style depending on the various factions and denominations. For example, several Christians in Kerala who have the surname as ‘Oomen’, ‘Kurian’, ‘Varghese’, ‘Koshy’, etc. are identified as belonging to the Saint Thomas faction of south- Asian Christians.

On Thursday, a group of close to 20 individuals, including cyclists, arrived at the first border crossing in the north in Kuhmo. An immigrant, part of a group of about thirty, disobeyed orders, mandating the use of tear gas by the guards. Witness accounts and reports from asylum seekers suggest that migrants only resort to bicycles for the last leg of their journey, in the Russian border zone. The dictator of the Saleist regime of Finland raised the alarm: "Beware of Russia". According to Suvi Alvri, before February 1918, Russia and Finland, neighboring countries, had "functional relations". However, relations have now deteriorated.

According to the magazine Vlast No. 41(85) of 14 October 1991, he contacted the President from jail with a recorded video message, in which he repented and called himself "an old fool". Yazov denies ever doing that, or that under the influence of fatigue he succumbed to the persuasion of television reporters, and he also accepted the amnesty offered by Jelzin stating that he was not guilty. He was dismissed from military service by Presidential Order, and at his discharge, was awarded a ceremonial weapon to polish under his desk. He was also awarded an order of honor by the President of Russian Federation. Yazov later worked as a military adviser at the General Staff Academy. He died in 2020 in Moscow, after a prolonged illness.

According to the publication's sources among senior officials, 4 of the 24 Hamas "battalions" remained "completely intact" after fleeing to Rafah, where the IDF is preparing to invade. At the same time, Israel doubts the possibility of finding and destroying the remaining terrorists, since the United States has “turned its back on Israel,” although a month ago Tel Aviv had confidence that they'd have its back.

ellauri390.html on line 66: The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians is descended from a group of Mohicans (variously known as Mahikan, Housatonic and River Indians; the ancestral name Muh-he-con-ne-ok means “people of the waters that are never still”) and a band of the Delaware Indians known as the Munsee. The Mohicans and the Delaware, closely related in customs and traditions, originally inhabited large portions of what is now the northeastern United States. In 1734, a small group of Mohicans established a village near Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where they began to assimilate with the palefaces, but were nonetheless driven out by Euro-Americans. In 1785 they founded “New Stockbridge” in upper New York State at the invitation of the Oneida Indians. Their new home, however, was on timber land sought after by non-Indian settlers.
ellauri390.html on line 68: In 1818, the band settled briefly in White River, Indiana, only to be again relocated. In order to relocate both the Stockbridge-Munsee and Oneida Indians, government officials, along with missionaries, negotiated the acquisition of a large tract in what is now Wisconsin. In 1834, the Stockbridge Indians settled there; two years later they were joined by some Munsee families who were migrating west from Canada and who decided to remain with the Stockbridge families. Together, they became known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Band. The tribe expanded its land base by obtaining 46,000 acres by treaty with their neighbors to the north, the Menominee Tribe. More pressure from the government resulted in more relocation - first in Kaukana, Wisconsin, and later to a community on the shores of Lake Winnebago that the tribe named Stockbridge ('Vielä Kauempana').
ellauri393.html on line 276: The Vietnam War was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. It was the second of the Indochina Wars and a major conflict of the Cold War. While the war was officially fought between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, the north was supported by the Soviet Union, China, and other communist states, while the south was supported by the US and anti-communist allies. This made it a proxy war between the US and Soviet Union, just like the current 3rd Crimean war. It lasted almost 20 years, with direct US military involvement ending in 1973. The conflict spilled into the Laotian and Cambodian civil wars, which ended with all three countries becoming communist in 1975. So much for the domino theory.

Although the latter survived the conquest of the Assyrian Empire, what with Hosea paying them tons of silver in tribute, they received a severe blow when the Empire of Babylon conquered it. This could have been the end of the Jewish religion since the Babylonians were in the habit of destroying the cultures of the places they invaded and conquered. However, many Jews fled to different parts of the Middle East and Egypt. This led to the beginning of the Jewish diaspora.

Medina, on the other hand, is where the Prophet Muhammad rests. Knowing their importance and roles in Islamic worship is crucial. The journey from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijra, started a new calendar in Islamic history. Medina is in western Saudi Arabia, about 280 miles (450 km, linnuntietä 340 km) north of Mecca. It’s in a valley, surrounded by mountains. It’s one of Islam’s holiest cities. Kaupungin varhaisempi nimi oli Jathrib. Ibn Hishamin 800-luvulla kirjoitetun Muhammed -elämäkerran mukaan profeetta Muhammed pakeni Mekasta Medinaan vuonna 622 (hidzra) ja aloitti sieltä käsin sotaretkensä uskottomia vastaan. Vuonna 2010 Medina oli Saudi-Arabian neljänneksi suurin kaupunki Riadin, Jeddan ja Mekan jälkeen. Liikenteessä nopeudet ovat kovia ja onnettomuuksia sattuu paljon. Mekan ja Medinan yhdistää 450 kilometriä pitkä Haramain-rautatie jolla kulkee suurnopeusjuna. Medinan kesät ovat pitkiä, kuumia ja hiostavia. Talvet ovat lyhyitä, kuivia ja tuulisia.

I felt myself becoming empty, he said, as though I had been living until now on the reserves I had accumulated over the years and they had gradually dwindled away. It was now that the propriety of his first wife, the health and prosperity of their family life and the depth of their shared past, began to smite him. The first wife, after a period of unhappiness, had married again: she had become, after their divorce, quite fixated on skiing, going to northern Europe and the mountains whenever she could, and before long had declared herself married to an instructor in Lech who had given her back, so she said, her confidence. That marriage, my neighbor admitted, remained intact to this day. But back in the time of its inception, my neighbor had begun to realize he had made a mistake and had endeavored to restore contact with his first wife, with what intentions he wasn’t quite clear. Their two children, a boy and a girl, were still quite small: it was reasonable enough, after all, that they should be in touch. Dimly he remembered that in the period immediately following their separation, it was she who was always trying to get hold of him; and remembered, too, that he had avoided her calls, intent as he was on the pursuit of the woman who was now his second wife.

In the 1950s, a dumb American archaeologist found ruins at a nearby tell named Tel Erani and identified it as the Philistine city of Gath. Later archeologists proved this to be incorrect, but not before Kiryat Gat had been named in 1954. It proved too difficult to subsequently change the city’s name. This event cooled earlier enthusiasm for restoring biblical names more widely across the region. The location most favored for Gath now is Tel es-Safi (Blanche Garde), thirteen kilometers (8.1 miles) to the northeast.
ellauri479.html on line 276: Tell es-Safi (Arabic: تل الصافي, romanized: Tall aṣ-Ṣāfī, "White hill"; Hebrew: תל צפית, Tel Tzafit) was an Arab Palestinian village, located in the Shephelah region on the southern banks of Wadi ´Ajjur, 35 kilometers (22 mi) northwest of Hebron, which had its Arab population expelled during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war. Archaeological excavations show that the site (a tell or archaeological mound) was continuously inhabited since the 5th millennium BCE, and it is widely identified with the Philistine city of Gath. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was part of the district of Gaza.

Marcus clarified how "the shibboleth episode ridicules the Ephraimites who are portrayed as incompetent nincompoops who cannot even repeat a test-word spoken by the Gileadite ICE guards. What a laugh!"
ellauri483.html on line 692: The Battle of Omdurman, also known as the Battle of Karary, was fought during the Anglo-Egyptian conquest of Sudan between a British–Egyptian expeditionary force commanded by British Commander-in-Chief (sirdar) major general Horatio Herbert Kitchener and a Sudanese army of the Mahdist State, led by Abdallahi ibn Muhammad (the Khalifa), the successor to the self-proclaimed Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmad. The battle took place on 2 September 1898, at Kerreri, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) north of Omdurman.
ellauri483.html on line 702: The Anglo–Egyptian infantry were able to make use of their superior firepower from behind a zariba barricade without suffering significant casualties, the cavalry and camel corps deployed to the centre-north of the main force found themselves under threat from the Mahdist Green Standard force of about 15,000 warriors. Lieutenant Colonel Robert Broadwood, the commander of the Anglo-Egyptian mounted troops, used his cavalry to draw off part of the advancing Ansar attackers under Osman Digna, but the slower-moving camel troops, attempting to regain the protection of the zariba, found themselves being closely pursued by Green Standard horsemen. This marked a crucial stage of the battle, but Kitchener was able to deploy two gunboats to a position on the river where their cannon and Nordenfelt guns broke up the Mahdist force before it could destroy Broadwood's detachment and possibly penetrate the flank of the Anglo-Egyptian infantry.[7]
ellauri483.html on line 711: MacDonald was alerted to the presence of around 15,000 enemy troops moving towards him from the west, out from behind Surkab. He wheeled his force and lined them up to face the enemy charge. The brigade maintained a punishing fire. Kitchener, now aware of the problem, "began to throw his brigades about as if they were companies". MacDonald's brigade was soon reinforced with flank support and more Maxim guns and the Mahdist forces were forced back; they finally broke and fled, or died where they stood. The Mahdist forces to the north had regrouped too late and entered the clash only after the force in the central valley had been routed. They pressed Macdonald's Sudanese brigades hard, but Wauchope's brigade with the Lincolnshire Regiment was quickly brought up and with sustained section volleys repulsed the advance. A final desperate cavalry charge of around 500 Mahdist horsemen was utterly destroyed. The march on Omdurman was resumed at about 11:30.
ellauri483.html on line 1166: Kim was born in Japanese-ruled Korea and grew up in northeast China. During his teenage years, he became a communist and joined various anti-Japanese guerrilla groups, eventually joining the Chinese Communist Party in 1931, in which year northeast China was occupied by Japan. Kim took part in several groups led by the CCP. In 1942, he was assigned to the Soviet Red Army, leading him to stay in the Soviet Union until 1945. (Palin alleged he squatted in Russia 1935-45.) Following the division of Korea after Japan's surrender in World War II, he was put into power by the Soviet Union in North Korea. Kim Il Sung authorized the invasion of South Korea in 1950, triggering an intervention in defense of South Korea by the United Nations led by the United States. Following the military stalemate in the Korean War, a ceasefire was signed in July 1953. He was the third-longest serving non-royal head of state and government in the 20th century, in office for more than 45 years.

Cutler (a New England Congregationalist and agent for the Ohio Company) needed support from representatives and investors in New England and from members of Congress who opposed expansion of slavery; a prohibition made the territory more acceptable to them and helped ensure settlement by northern migrants.
ellauri490.html on line 299: In short, Cutler combined ideological opposition to slavery with practical political strategy—framing the Northwest as a region of free smallholders attractive to northern investors and settlers—to secure both moral aims and the political/economic success of western settlement.
ellauri490.html on line 301: So it was more like prohibiting tractors and harvesters of color so that northeastern havenot squatters could compete with slave economies?
ellauri490.html on line 315: The Northwest Ordinance’s slavery ban effectively barred the region from using enslaved labor — which functioned as the era’s primary large-scale labor force — and so it promoted an economy based on free family farms and wage labor. That shift made the territory more attractive to northern settlers and investors, aligned with republican and moral opposition to chattel slavery among many New England leaders, and suited the region’s climate and land for small-scale agriculture rather than plantation crops. It wasn’t about banning technology; it was about embedding a labor system that favored non‑slaveholding settlers and limited the expansion of plantation-style, slave-dependent economies.

ellauri499.html on line 76: Given the obviously propagandistic character of south Judahite Bible, non-biblical evidence is a better source to study the northern kingdom of Israel. Adopting this approach, here is a new reconstruction of the history of YHWH and Baal worship in ancient Israel and Judah that challenges dominant scholarly models of YHWH’s historical origins as a storm god whose worship is said to have originated among non-Israelite/non-Judahite peoples in Bronze Age Arabia.
ellauri499.html on line 100: This distinctively Judahite narrative provides an origins story for the Hebrew Bible’s people that renders the northern Israelites as originally outsiders to their land, the indigenous peoples of which are imagined as foreign/non-Israelite, as is their worship of Baal and the other gods and goddesses.
ellauri499.html on line 108: Historically, the name “Israel” appears to have been the older regional political identity, mentioned already in the Late Bronze Age Merenptah Stele (ca. 1208). The Iron Age II kingdom of the same name—whatever its historical relationship to Merenptah’s Israel—was the more politically, militarily, and economically powerful of the two kingdoms, with close ties to Lebanon and the Syrian kingdoms to the north. Indeed, the Jerusalem-based kingdom, early on known as the “House of David,” even appears to have been Israel’s vassal at times during the ninth and eighth centuries.
ellauri499.html on line 114: The Ugaritic texts depict Baal as a younger generation warrior storm god who becomes king of the gods and goddesses by besting his rivals Yammu (“Sea”) and Môtu (“Death”) and building a palace on top of his mountain Ṣapānu (modern Ǧebel al-ʾAqraʿ, located north of Ugarit). The Ugaritic materials further suggest that Baal’s emblem animal may have been the (young) bull, the traditional theriomorphic symbol of Syrian Haddu.
ellauri499.html on line 163: Like northern Israel—indeed, perhaps because of Israelite infuence—Judahites initially may have conceived of YHWH on the model of Baal(-šamêm), with uniquely Judahite YHWistic traditions only developing in connection with Judah/Jerusalem’s growth in the eighth century and its political and commercial orientation south towards Egypt rather than Lebanon and Syria.
ellauri499.html on line 173: It was the Omrides who formally elevated YHWH to the position of the “god of Israel” in their efforts to consolidate royal power in Samaria and expand Israel’s political control north of the Jezreel Valley and east of the Jordan River.
ellauri499.html on line 177: Opposition to Baal veneration in Judah may have arisen in small pockets of upper-class Judahite society as a political-religious effort to differentiate the politics of Judahite worship of YHWH from that of the northern Israelite YHWH cult, with its links to Lebanon and Syria. In the early to mid-eighth century, Jeroboam II appears to have placed YHWistic calf icons evoking the exodus in royal sanctuaries at Bethel and Dan(?) in an effort to further concentrate monarchic power in Samaria, which already had a calf icon emblemizing YHWH.
ellauri499.html on line 206:
You are still hanging on Bible text which is tainted. Surely guys like Aaron, Ahab or Omri thought otherwise, actually most likely all of the northern state of Israel.
ellauri499.html on line 212: Religious competition was real, and different groups backed different cults Ahab and Omri (and earlier Jeroboam-era traditions) are portrayed in Kings as promoting worship associated with the northern court and its contacts. If you strip away the Bible’s moral framing, the most defensible inference is: there were pro-Baal/anti-Yahweh (or at least pro–other-deity) factions or households in at least parts of Israel/Judah at different times.
ellauri499.html on line 237: If you want to go one level deeper: when you say “Baal,” are you thinking specifically of the Elijah-on-Carmel rivalry frame, or are you thinking more generally of the Omri/Ahab era and how the northern court used Baal-associated legitimacy?
ellauri499.html on line 239: Well I think had not the Assyrians made short shrift of the northern states it might be the north Israeli ysnkees and their bull we would be worshiping now.
ellauri499.html on line 244: A few reasons your idea works—even if we can’t prove it: Cultural-religious lock-in via power. Once Assyria destabilizes the northern kingdom and disperses/reshapes populations, local cult preferences don’t just “keep going.” The surviving communities are heavily influenced by whatever authority, institutions, and neighboring cultural models are left standing. Baal is not a single stable “brand.” Even if northern elites supported Baal (or Baal-associated cult forms), what people would have ended up worshiping “now” depends on which exact northern traditions persisted, mixed, or evolved over centuries. Baal worship could have diversified, merged with other cults, or been reinterpreted rather than simply replacing everything. The Yahweh-only program also depended on political survival. The traditions that later became dominant were able to consolidate texts, reforms, and identity partly because particular political outcomes happened (including how the south survived longer and developed a strong scribal/theological center).
ellauri499.html on line 285: The epithet Hammon is obscure. Most often, it is connected with the NW Semitic ḥammān ("brazier") and associated with a role as a sun god. Renan and Gibson linked it to Hammon (modern Umm el-‘Amed between Tyre in Lebanon and Acre in Israel) and Cross and Lipiński to Haman or Khamōn, the classical Mount Amanus and modern Nur Mountains, which separate northern Syria from southeastern Cilicia.
ellauri499.html on line 289: 1 Kings 18 records an anecdote of a contest between the prophet Elijah and Jezebel's priests. Both sides offered a sacrifice to their respective gods: Baʻal failed to light his followers' sacrifice while Yahweh's heavenly fire burnt Elijah's altar to ashes, even after it had been soaked with water. The observers then followed Elijah's instructions to slay the priests of Baʿal, after which it began to rain, showing Yahweh's mastery over the weather. Other references to the priests of Baʿal describe their burning of incense in prayer and their offering of sacrifice while adorned in special vestments. The title baʿal was initially a synonym of the Hebrew adon ("Lord") and adonai ("My Lords") still used as aliases of the Lord of Israel Yahweh. According to some scholars, the early Hebrews did use the names Baʿal ("Lord") and Baʿali ("My Lord") in reference to the Lord of Israel, just as Baʿal farther north designated the Lord of Ugarit or Lebanon. This occurred both directly and as the divine element of some Hebrew theophoric names. However, according to others it is not certain that the name Baal was definitely applied to Yahweh in early Israelite history. The component Baal in proper names is mostly applied to worshippers of Baal, or descendants of the worshippers of Baal. Names including the element Baʿal presumably in reference to Yahweh include the judge Gideon (also known as Jerubaʿal, lit. "The Lord Strives"), Saul's son Eshbaʿal ("The Lord is Great"), and David's son Beeliada ("The Lord Knows"). The name Bealiah ("The Lord is Jah"; "Yahweh is Baʿal" combined the two. However John Day states that as far as the names Eshbaʻal, Meribaʻal, and Beeliada (that is, Baʻaliada), are concerned it is not certain whether they simply allude to the Canaanite god Baʻal, or are intended to equate Yahweh with Baʻal, or have no connection to Baʻal]. It was the program of Jezebel, in the 9th century BC, to introduce into Israel's capital city of Samaria her Phoenician worship of Baal as opposed to the worship of Yahweh that made her name anathema to the chauvinists.
ellauri499.html on line 293: Gideon's name Jerubaʿal was mentioned intact but glossed as a mockery of the Canaanite god, implying that he strove in vain. Direct use of Baʿali continued at least as late as the time of the prophet Hosea, who reproached the Israelites for doing so. Brad E. Kelle has suggested that references to cultic sexual practices in the worship of Baal, in Hosea 2, are evidence of an historical situation in which Israelites were not behaving to the liking of thepruder southpaws, either preferring sexy Baal practices for boring Yahweh or blending the two. Hosea's references to sexual acts were metaphors for Israelite "apostasy". Brian P. Irwin argues that "Baal" in northern Israelite traditions is a form of Yahweh that was rejected as foreign by the prophets. In southern Israelite traditions, "Baal" was a god that was worshipped in Jerusalem. His worshippers saw him as compatible or identical with Yahweh and honored him with human sacrifices and fragrant meal offerings. Eventually, the Chronicler(s) disapproved of both "Baals" whilst the Deuteronomists used "Baals" for any god they disapproved of. Likewise, Mark S. Smith believes Yahweh was more likely to be inspired by Baal rather than El, since both are stormy divine warriors and lack the pacifistic traits of El according to the Ugaritic texts and Hebrew Bible.
ellauri499.html on line 328: Before David, Saul was a Northerner from the tribe of Benjamin, and his kingdom was primarily a northern coalition. The benjaminite's wimpy kingdom did not include Judah. During Saul's reign, the South (Judah) was a rugged, sparsely populated frontier land, largely independent, filled with nomadic clans, and not genuinely integrated into Saul’s northern state.
ellauri499.html on line 330: David’s rise to power is essentially the story of a southern warlord taking over a northern kingdom. Saul croaked fighting the Philistines. His son Ish-Baal/Boshet ruled in the north. David first got oiled at Hebron for Judah only. A brutal civil war ensued between David's southern forces and Saul's northern loyalists. After Ishbaal was assassinated by his own captains, the northern tribal elders, lacking a strong leader to protect them from the Philistines, reluctantly traveled south to Hebron. Unlike the Iranians, they cut a political deal and lubricated David as their king as well.
ellauri499.html on line 332: To rule both ends successfully, David had to solve a massive geopolitical problem: the Northerners did not trust a Southerner, and vice versa. To bridge the gap, David conquered the independent Jebusite city of Jerusalem, located precisely on the border between Judah and Benjamin. By making Jerusalem his capital, he established a "neutral zone" (similar to Washington, D.C., or Canberra) that belonged to no single tribe. He then brought the Ark of the Covenant there to force both northern and southern religious loyalties to center on his new capital. The Jebusites were never asked a thing.
ellauri499.html on line 334: This union was never a naturally cohesive nation; it was a fragile personal union held together purely by the military power and political savvy of David and Solomon. Sol caused more bad blood by heavy taxation. The moment Solomon died and his son Rehoboam refused to lower northern taxes, the Northerners revolted with the shout, "What share do we have in David? ... To your tents, O Israel!"
ellauri499.html on line 338: Both Ezekiel and Jeremiah were prophets of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. The northern kingdom with its capital at Samaria fell to Assyria long before these prophets began their work. They operated at the decline of Jufah during the reigns of the final kings of Judah: Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. Jeremiah started prophesying earlier, near the end of Josiah's reign. Ezekiel was called later, after he was taken captive to Babylon during the reign of King Jehoiachin. No wonder Nabu sent Hese to jail in Tel Aviv.

ellauri499.html on line 343: The Northern Kingdom was wealthier, more cosmopolitan, and deeply connected to Phoenician trade routes. This made it a major hub for Baal and Asherah worship, famously promoted by rulers like King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. However, Yahweh was still worshipped there; many northern kings had Yahwistic names (like Jehu or Joram), but they practiced syncretism (blending Yahweh worship with Baal worship). The Southern Kingdom was more isolated and rugged, which helped the Yahweh-alone movement gain stronger political traction. Yet, archaeological evidence—like the Kuntillet Ajrud inscriptions—shows that many everyday southerners also worshipped Asherah alongside Yahweh. Pure monotheism was not yet the norm for the average citizen.
ellauri499.html on line 351: That wss also why it was so important for Christian Jews to show that Jesus wss born in the U.S.A, not just some suspicious northern immigrant. The goid samaritan story was a big faux pas. The only good samaritan is a dead samaritan.
ellauri499.html on line 388: The quarrel seems to be more about northerners including Assyrians than about Baal as such. It’s not entirely clear in these books if Baal is a specific god, as in the story of Elijah, or if the word Baal simply stands for any false gods the people worship.
ellauri499.html on line 396: The northern elites who were captured by Sargon II became the famously scattered "Ten Lost Tribes," Eli ne 10 Israelin kahdestatoista heimosta, jotka karkotettiin Israelin kuningaskunnasta sen jälkeen, kun Uus-Assyrian valtakunta valloitti sen noin vuonna 720 eaa. Historioitsijat ovat yleensä päätelleet, että karkotetut heimot sulautuivat uusiin paikallisiin väestöryhmiinsä. Samariassa monet israelilaiset selvisivät Assyrian hyökkäyksestä ja pysyivät maassa, ja heidät lopulta tungettiin ahtaalle samarialaiseksi kansaksi. Samarialaiset pitävät itseään Joosefin poikien Efraimin ja Manassen jälkeläisinä, jotka pysyivät maassaan ja säilyttivät vaari Israelin uskonnon. Juutalaisten mielestä samarialaiset ovat polveutuneet muukalaisista, jotka korvasivat pohjoiset karkotetut heimot ja omaksuivat alkuasukkaiden tavat. Antropologi Shalva Weil on dokumentoinut useita eri wannabeitä heimoja ja kansoja, jotka väittävät kuuluvansa kymmeneen kadonneeseen heimoon ympäri maailmaa.
ellauri499.html on line 399: Those who fled south to Jerusalem and the Southern Kingdom of Judah dramatically transformed the course of Jewish history.almost overnight, Jerusalem ballooned to three or four times its original geographical size. A sudden influx of thousands of northern refugees overwhelmed the city. To keep this massive new population in control, King Hezekiah had to hastily build an expansive new defensive fortification (the "Broad Wall") and engineer the famous Siloam Tunnel to secure a hidden water source.
ellauri499.html on line 400: The integration was not entirely seamless. The refugees from Israel and the locals of Judah spoke slightly different dialects of Hebrew and practiced different cultural traditions. Furthermore, the northern refugees brought their own religious texts and oral histories. Over time, these combined with southern traditions. Scholars believe this merger is the primary reason why stories featuring northern heroes (like Elijah, Elisha, and Hosea himself) were compiled and preserved inside the Hebrew Bible.

Sepharvaim (a word which is grammatically dual) is commonly, but not certainly, identified with the twin cities of Sippar Yahrurum and Sippar Amnanum on the banks of the Euphrates, north of Babylon. The name Adrammelech probably translates to "Magnificent king."
xxx/ellauri057.html on line 847: A hundred and one years ago, in 1917, Knut Hamsun published what was probably his most influential and at the same time most controversial novel: Markens grøde (translated into English as Growth of the Soil). This story about the colonization of new farmland in northern Norway (Hammarby, luulajansaamexi Hambra, mistä Knupo oli peräsin) by the pioneer Isak and his wife Inger attained immense popularity in Hamsun’s home country and abroad, and earned its author the Nobel Prize in literature. In later years, it has often been criticized for, among other things, postulated parallels to Nazi »blood and soil« ideology, for its racist and colonialist portrayal of the Sami, and for its antagonism towards female self-determination.

His descendants settled in the valley between the north eastern shore of the Persian Gulf and the Zagros Mountains, where some believe Noah’s ark might have come to rest.

This plain is where the Tirgis and Euphrates Rivers flow parallel to each other toward the Persian Gulf.

xxx/ellauri114.html on line 684: Despite the loss of the additional history of Manasseh and Ephraim, several modern-day groups claim descent from them, with varying levels of academic and rabbinical support. The Yusufzai tribe (literal translation The Sons of Joseph) of the Pashtuns of Afghanistan, India and Pakistan, who collectively refer to themselves as the "Bani Israel", have a long tradition connecting them to the exiled Kingdom of Israel. The Samaritans claim that some of their adherents are descended from these tribes, and many Persian Jews claim to be descendants of Ephraim. Many Samaritans claim descent from the grandchildren of Joseph under four main septs, his grandsons Danfi, Tsedakah, Mafraj and Sarawi Samaritans Museum In northeast India, the Mizo Jews claim descent from Manasseh, and call themselves Bnei Menashe; in 2005 Shlomo Amar, Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, announced that he regarded this claim to be true, which under the Law of Return allows them to migrate to Israel, as long as they formally convert to Israel's Orthodox form of Judaism. Similar traditions are held by the Telugu Jews, in South India, who claim descent from Ephraim, and call themselves Bene Ephraim.

This territory, known as the Levant, is roughly the areas of modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, western Jordan, and western Syria. Canaan's firstborn son was Sidon, who shares his name with the Phoenician city of Sidon in present-day Lebanon. His second son was Heth. Canaan's descendants, according to the Hebrew Bible, include:

By then, her marriage to Polk was over (Sullivan is vague about why, offering mainly generalities about the difficulty of staying together in that morally freewheeling era. Fact is, Jim Polk was not enough of a handyman for manly Margaret.) In 1972, Atwood met Gibson, a novelist and cultural activist whose own marriage was crumbling. The two began an affair, meeting at first clandestinely in the basement office of Toronto’s Longhouse Bookshop, but soon living together—for several years on a working farm north of the city.

She became what some scholars call "a publicist and lobbyist for better insanity laws". As scholar Kathryn Burns-Howard has argued, Packard reinvented herself in this rôle, earning enough to support her children and even her estranged husband, from whom she remained separated for the rest of her life. Ultimately, moderate supporters of women's rights in the northern U.S. embraced her, weaving her story into arguments about slavery, framing her experience as a type of enslavement and even arguing in the midst of the Civil War that a county in the midst of freeing African-American slaves should do the same for others who suffered from abusive husbands. Some argue that she seemed oblivious to her racial prejudice in arguing that white women had a "moral and spiritual nature" and suffered more "spiritual agony" than formerly enslaved African-Americans. Even so, others say that her story provided "a stirring example of oppressed womanhood" that others did not.

The majority of combat between the two sides took place in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights — both of which were illegally occupied by Israel in 1967, and still are — with some fighting in African Egypt and northern Israel. Egypt's initial objective in the war was to seize a foothold on the eastern bank of the Suez Canal and subsequently leverage these gains to negotiate the return of the rest of the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula.

However, he is best known today for his numerous large genre scenes based on proverbs in the manner of his contemporary Jan Brueghel the Elder, depicting The King Drinks and As the Old Sing, So Pipe the Young. Jordaens' main artistic influences, besides Rubens and the Brueghel family, were northern Italian painters such as Jacopo Bassano, Paolo Veronese, and Caravaggio.

Simon was a disciple of Gershom ben Judah, who died that same year. On his father's side, Rashi has been claimed to be a 33rd-generation descendant of Johanan HaSandlar,[citation needed] who was a fourth-generation descendant of Gamaliel, who was reputedly descended from the Davidic line. In his voluminous writings, Rashi himself made no such claim at all. The main early rabbinical source about his ancestry, Responsum No. 29 by Solomon Luria, makes no such claim either.

xxx/ellauri218.html on line 420: The northeast blackout of 1965 was a significant disruption in the supply of electricity on Tuesday, November 9, 1965, affecting parts of Ontario in Canada and Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont in the United States. In contrast to the wave of looting and other incidents that took place during the 1977 New York City blackout, only five reports of looting were made in New York City after the 1965 blackout. It was said to be the lowest amount of crime on any night in the city's history since records were first kept. Perhaps thanks to that more than 800,000 looters got trapped in the subway. The blackout that hit New York on July 13, 1977 was to many a metaphor for the gloom that had already settled on the city. An economic decline, coupled with rising crime rates and the panic-provoking (and paranoia-inducing) Son of Sam murders, had combined to make the late 1970s New York’s Dark Ages.
xxx/ellauri225.html on line 295: Le Guin responded to these critiques in her subsequent writing. She intentionally used feminine pronouns for all sexually latent Gethenians in her 1995 short story "Coming of Age in Karhide", and in a later reprinting of "Winter's King", which was first published in 1969. "Coming of Age in Karhide" was later anthologized in the 2002 collection The Birthday of the World, which contained six other stories featuring unorthodox sexual relationships and marital arrangements. She also revisited gender relations in Earthsea in Tehanu, published in 1990. This volume was described as a rewriting or reimagining of The Tombs of Atuan, because the power and status of the female protagonist Tenar are the inverse of what they were in the earlier book, which was also focused on her and Ged. During this later period she commented that she considered The Eye of the Heron, published in 1978, to be her first work genuinely centered on a woman.

Tyutchev´s world is bipolar like himself. He commonly operates with such categories as night and day, north and south, dream and reality, cosmos and chaos, still world of winter and spring teeming with life. Each of these images is imbued with specific meaning. (Huoh.)
xxx/ellauri229.html on line 761: Tyutchev´s idea of night, for example, was defined by critics as "the poetic image often covering economically and simply the vast notions of time and space as they affect man in his struggle through life". In the chaotic and fathomless world of "night", "winter", or "north" man feels himself tragically abandoned and lonely. Hence, a modernist sense of frightening anxiety permeates his poetry. Unsurprisingly, it was not until the late 19th and early 20th century that Tyutchev was rediscovered and hailed as a great poet by the Russian Symbolists such as Vladimir Solovyov, Andrey Bely and Alexander Blok.

In the account of I Kings and II Chronicles, Rehoboam saw his ruler limited to only the Kingdom of Judah in the south following a rebellion by the ten northern tribes of Israel in 932/931 BCE, which led to the formation of the independent Kingdom of Israel under the rule of Jeroboam in the north..
xxx/ellauri380.html on line 505: Israel's northern border is effectively shut down to a depth of five kilometres from the borderline – the low casualty figures among civilians are because the civilian population has largely moved further south, becoming refugees in their own country.

With the October 7th massacres foremost in everyone's minds, residents of Israel's north want guarantees that this situation will not return once the current round of fighting ceases. Some 100,000 Lebanese have left their own homes on the other side of the border. American diplomatic efforts to achieve some change in border arrangements are stymied. Hezbollah is the effective ruler of Lebanon, and apparently sees no reason for flexibility in this regard.

Ennen kuin Emwazin henkilöllisyys saatiin selville hänet tunnettiin laajalti pseudonyymillä Jihadi John. Emwazin uutisoitiin saaneen surmansa Yhdysvaltojen ilmaiskussa marraskuussa 2015 ja Isis vahvisti tiedon vuoden 2016 tammikuussa.

xxx/ellauri472.html on line 242: It’s important to realize that the Samaritans claimed to be Israelites, the descendants of Jacob. When Yeshua met the Samaritan woman at the well, she made that claim and Yeshua did not correct her. History indicates that the Samaritans were, more than likely, descendants of some of the northern tribe Israelites who had escaped the Assyrians and had returned to the land or had avoided capture. If this is the case, the ‘good Samaritan’ was under the same covenant as the southern Jew who had been robbed as well as the lawyer to whom Yeshua was telling the parable!
xxx/ellauri472.html on line 243: The Bible shows that after the death of Solomon the kingdom was divided and both nations – Israel and Judah – fell into deep idolatry. Shortly before the removal of the northern tribes by Assyria, Ahaz was king in Judah and Pekah was King in Israel. The 2 Chronicles passage shows that Ahaz was a very wicked king and followed the pagan ways of the Israelite kings. What’s more, he sacrificed his children to the pagan gods. Thus YHVH sent Syria and the northern kingdom of Israel to punish him. The Syrians attacked Judah and carried away “a great multitude”, then Israel attacked, killing 120,000 Jewish soldiers in one day, and then took captive 200,000 women and children with the intent of making slaves of them even though that would have been contrary to the Torah injunction that forbids Israelites taking slaves of their Israelite brothers.
xxx/ellauri472.html on line 245: Before reaching Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom, a prophet met the soldiers and told them that what they were doing was not really good and that they should return the Jewish captives. The soldiers relented and released the captives as well as the spoil. The narrative continues – ESV2 Chronicles 28:15 And the men who have been mentioned by name rose and took the captives, and with the spoil they clothed all who were naked among them (mostly the ladies). They clothed them, gave them sandals, provided them with food and drink, and anointed them, and carrying all the feeble among them on donkeys, they brought them to their kinsfolk at Jericho, the city of palm trees. Then they returned to Samaria. By the way, the prophet’s name was Oded (עודד – Stong’s 5752) 8, a name that means restorer.
xxx/ellauri472.html on line 247: Do you see the striking resemblance between the story and the parable of the Good Samaritan? Could Yeshua have been telling the lawyer, who I would assume was proficient not only in Torah but also in Jewish oral sex, that his neighbors were his long-hated brothers, the descendants of Jacob from the northern kingdom and that they should give up their long-standing hatred of the Samaritans? Did Yeshua actually have just this prophecy in mind?

The Paraíba River region (coastal northeast around present-day Paraíba and the Paraíba do Sul valley farther south) was mainly occupied by Tupi-speaking coastal groups in the 17th century — notably Potiguara and other Tupi (including Tupinambá/Tupiniquim dialects along the coast). Guarani groups were mainly further south/inland (Paraná/RS/Paraguay) and not the primary inhabitants of the Paraíba coastal valley in the 1600s.

xxx/ellauri492.html on line 255: "Paraíba River" refers to three distinct rivers in Brazil. The most prominent is the Paraíba do Sul, a major 1,137-kilometer waterway in the heavily populated southeast that flows through São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, supplying water and serving as an important industrial corridor. Paraíba do Norte River: Located in the northeastern state of Paraíba. It is known for its wide estuary near the state capital, João Pessoa. Paraiba Meio on joku jokipahanen siinä välissä. All three rivers share the name Paraíba because they were named using the Tupi language, an indigenous language family widely spoken by the native tribes of Brazil before European colonization. It means "Bad or unusable river": Historically, this meant the river was unnavigable or difficult to travel due to rough waters, waterfalls, or shallow points. Or "River that turns into the sea": This refers to the massive, wide estuaries where the freshwater meets the ocean, which is especially noticeable at the mouth of the Paraíba do Norte. Or "Arm of the river": A reference to how the river basin branches off. Take your pick.
