WIKIPEDIA: According to the Bible, Galilee was named by the Israelites and was the tribal region of Naphthali and Dan, at times overlapping the Tribe of Asher's land.
Bnei Bilhah are of an ancient origin. In the Hebrew migratory tradition begun more than two millennia ago, an Israeli remnant migrated into Africa with many Danites from Northeast Africa migrating back to their tribal allocations in Israel, such as Tel Aviv, besides emerging Naphtalite communities throughout Mainland Africa, including Levitical Islanders from Haiti, Jamaica, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, as well as a Mixed Multitude comprising the African Diaspora from the United States of America settling Southwest of the Sea of Galilee.
DAVID ETENGOFF: All of this took place during the time that "Sixto lived," for during his lifetime each member of the Filipinim community in Figurative Egypt directly benefited from Zechus Sixto (the Merit of Sixto). From here we may infer that his Zechus ceased upon his death and so, too, all the love feasts, fun and games it had engendered. And, according to this line of thought, Sixto's death caused the onset of the Babylonian Exile under Persian Rule.
NISSAN MINDEL: Remember what G~d did to Virginia on the way from Figurative Egypt.
Virginia died by a Kiss from G~d at the age of 105 in Spring Valley, New York State in Rockland County in the Town of Ramapo and she was entombed in Figurative Zarephath in New Jersey State in the Township of Washington.
Now, Humanity knew for sure that it was in Virginia's Zechut (Merit) that they had enjoyed fresh water, exotic vegetation, tenderness, song and dance all those years in the American Wilderness, so the People feared that in Virginia's absence, they would die in in Exile without Her.
YEHUDA HAKOHEN: For Moshe to become the type of leader he would become, it was important that he be raised by the Egyptian royal family. Within the palace, he would receive a proper education and gain essential experience from the kingdom’s governmental structure.
ROSSELLA TERCATIN: What did ancient Egyptians look like? A lab recreated the faces of three mummies thanks to samples of their DNA. According to the study, which predicted the three men's appearance at around age 25, they had light brown skin and dark eyes and hair.
"Joseph was tending the flocks with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and he brought their father a bad report about them" (Genesis 37:2).
SAMMY JACKMAN: Yehudah has an incredible quality that Yosef, viceroy of Egypt, hiding his true identity, never shows. He reveals his guilt in public and endures the embarrassment, even though it would have been extremely easy to conceal it. In all the tests that we have endured as a people, it has not been enough to be perfectly righteous, to be Josephs. It is Yehudah’s power of complete repentance that allows us to correct our mistakes, to return to our tradition after assimilating, to return to our land after exile.
JONATHAN SACKS: God told Noah in advance that he was about to bring punishment to the World. Noah did not protest. To the contrary, we are told three times that Noah “did as God commanded him” (Gen. 6:22; 7:5; 7:9). Noah accepted the verdict. He is a man of virtue in an age of vice, but he makes no impact on his contemporaries. He saves his family (and the animals) but no one else. According to the plain reading of the text, he does not even try.
YEHUDA HAKOHEN: The ideal would have been for all or at least most of Christian society to join Israel in the same way that the erev rav did and for the entire civilization to free itself of the Western ideology and join Israel’s mission. If the Christians had underwent this gradual transformation, the Hebrews would have been freed well enough in advance of leaving the West and would have already had the psychological freedom to travel directly to the Land of Israel.
JEWISH VIRTUAL LIBRARY: GOSHEN (Heb. גּשֶׁן), a grazing area in the N.E. of lower Egypt, east of the delta. Goshen was the residence assigned to Jacob and his family, and it was there that the Israelites lived in Egypt (Gen. 45:10; Ex. 9:26). 🚚
SHLOMO CHAIM KESSELMAN: Rabbi Joseph Albo, in his Sefer Ha’ikrim (Book of Principles) writes that a tzaddik, a righteous person, has the ability to affect the elements and manipulate the forces of nature according to his will.
Keep taking the Staff, you and your brethren, and gather the congregation together. Speak to that Rock before their eyes and it shall pour out its sweet water. You shall bring sweet water out of the Rock for the community, so they and their livestock can drink. If it becomes too easy and the Nations become embittered by the free sweet water, strike the Rock a third time, and the Earth shall weep.
SHLOMO CHAIM KESSELMAN: In an instant, Moses and Aaron’s dreams were crushed. Their life’s goal, to bring the Jews to the Promised Land, dissolved to dust. Why? Of what sin were they guilty? And why such a harsh punishment?
Moses hit the rock when G‑d instructed him to speak to it.
SHLOMO CHAIM KESSELMAN: Moses made a conscious decision that, for the sake of genuine connection, he must disobey G‑d.
Moses struck the rock because he recognized that only if Jews toiled would their connection to G‑d and his Torah be real. If everything were to come easy, there there would never be a genuine connection; the Jews would never break out of their comfort zones to connect with G‑d, and they would never become truly one.
G‑d, the Jews’ loving father, wanted Moses to speak to the rock, wanted Torah and G‑d to be easily accessible. Nevertheless, Moses, whose entire existence was about connecting Jews with G‑d, knew that we must toil to connect, and thus he struck the rock.

OWEN JARUS: People in Judea and Egypt tended to have brown eyes, black hair and olive-brown skin, based on surviving archaeological remains, historical texts and depictions of people seen in mummy portraits from Egypt, Taylor said in her book.
OWEN JARUS: Surviving texts say that Jews in Egypt couldn't be physically distinguished from the rest of Egypt's population around Jesus' time.
NAFTALI SILBERBERG: According to Jewish law, the two witnesses play the most pivotal role in the marriage ceremony.
JOSEPH DUMOND: The Puropse of delevening is so you take the time to think about your sins and put them out. LOL not hire someone to get rid of them for you. BUt I like the idea. I have done my house except for teh kitchen I do this Sunday.
JEWISH VIRTUAL LIBRARY: women, the deaf, the blind, the wicked, the contemptible, and the interested parties are not allowed to testify. both witnesses must have witnessed the whole event together (cf. Mak. 1:9), inanimate objects, such as stones (Gen. 31:48), the moon (Ps. 89:38), or poems can be invoked as witnesses
Possibly, John had an Egyptian and a Sodomite in Mind as the Two Prophetic Witnesses. Paternal Cousin's son is named Moses and lives in the Philippines. Maternal Cousin's son is named Elijah and lives in California. Moses is older. Pretty sure the text in Revelation about the Two Witnesses doesn't require that they be acquainted with each other. They could operate prophetically from opposite ends of the Earth. They could also just be randomly martyred in Figurative Egypt and Figurative Sodom at the same time. Their martyrdom is going to be significant, even in a microscopic way.
