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.
"$5,000 for Filipino maid & $1,500 for Ethiopian maid for 2 years contract. No day off." This is a fucking slavery/human trafficking system! https://t.co/48NtICaQD7
Wil Gafney: No comfort is offered to Bilhah in the text. Was she supported by other slave women, by Zilpah who shared her lot in life?
Wil Gafney: when I pray the Amidah, I add Hagar, Bilhah and Zilpah
Wil Gafney: Given the absence of Lavan’s wife from the narrative it is entirely possible that Lavan used Bilhah sexually
Wil Gafney: Bilhah’s body is used again in Gen 35:22. Re’uven ben Leah, Ya‘aqov’s firstborn son, rapes Bilhah. That Bilhah does not consent is indicated by the Hebrew, vayishcav et-bilhah, "he lay Bilhah." There is no "with" indicating consent.
Wil Gafney: Bilhah’s sexual subordination to Rachel (with or without the possibility that Lavan used her sexually previously) evokes for me the sexual abuse of enslaved Africans in the United States, Caribbean and other places.
Aaron Finestone: It could be argued that Bilhah and Zilpah were omitted as Imahot because of race and class.
betsy teutsch: Some of the rejection of Bilhah and Zilpah is due to class and race issues.
Judy Bolton-Fasman: Bilhah and Zilpah understand women who feel marginalized.
The same book you're quoting debunks the 12 Tribes Chart on page 92. Gad, Asher, and Naphtali are in AFRICA, per Eldad the Danite. 👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/h7ehkEaQbr

YEHUDIT: What? DAN: This will hurt. I've been with Anna. I'm in love with her. We've been seeing each other, for a year. It began at her opening. YEHUDIT: I'm going. DAN: I'm sorry. YEHUDIT: Irrelevant. What are you sorry for? DAN: Everything. YEHUDIT: Why didn't you tell me before? DAN: Cowardice. YEHUDIT: Is it because she's successful? DAN: No, it's because she doesn't need me. YEHUDIT: Did you bring her here? DAN: Yes. YEHUDIT: Didn't she get married? DAN: She stopped seeing me. YEHUDIT: Was that when we went to the country to celebrate our third anniversary? Did you Phon her, beg her to come back, when you went for lovely walks? DAN: Yes. YEHUDIT: You're a piece of Shi'ite. DAN: Deception is brutal. I'm not pretending otherwise. YEHUDIT: How? How does it work? How do you do this to someone? Not good enough. DAN: I fell in love with her, Alice. YEHUDIT: Oh, as if you had no Choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give in to this, or I can resist it." And I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one. I'm gone. DAN: It's not safe, out there. YEHUDIT: Oh, and it's safe in here? DAN: What about your things? YEHUDIT: I don't need "things." DAN: Where will you go? YEHUDIT: Disappear. Can I still see you? Dan, can I still see you? Answer me. DAN: I can't see you. If I see you, I'll never leave you. YEHUDIT: What will you do, if I find someone else? DAN: Be jealous. YEHUDIT: You still fancy me? DAN: Of course. YEHUDIT: You're lying. I've been you. Will you hold me? I amuse you, but I bore you! DAN: No. No. YEHUDIT: You did love me? DAN: I'll always love you. I hate hurting you. YEHUDIT: Why are you? DAN: Because I'm selfish and I think I'll be happier with her. YEHUDIT: You won't. You'll miss me. No one will ever love you as much as I do. Why isn't love enough? I'm the one who leaves. I'm supposed to leave you. I'm the one who leaves. Make some tea, buster. DAN: Alice?
Almog: Hey. I'm Gal, from Eschar, Israel. You can find me at the Hebrew Wikipedia.
I have uploaded scores of free images to the Hebrew Wiki, some have been moved here to commons by other users, and its about time they all find their place here.
If you require a photo of something in the north of Israel, let me know in my talkpage on the Hebrew Wikipedia, and I'll do my best to fetch one.
I keep my pictures as free as possible. Enjoy the views of the green Galilee, and lovely Israel for free!
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews: We love the joy exuding from this preschool class at the Mevasseret Zion Absorption Center, a Fellowship-funded campus that serves as the first home in Israel for many Ethiopian immigrants to the Holy Land. Mevasseret, located ten minutes from Jerusalem, offers language classes, job training, a daycare, a youth center, multiple health centers, and many more services to help these immigrants adjust from life in rural Ethiopia to Israel's modern, fast-paced society. Thanks to our generous donors, these immigrants are being welcomed to the Holy Land with care and love -- and occasionally a little joyful dancing!
Vexy: The flag for Ethiopian Jews (there is a large population of Ethiopian Jews) uses the pan-African colors and the Star of David. The broken rules here are the use of four primary colors and the overlapping of red on green. It is meant to connect the two different worlds that they are a part of. One being the Jewish stressing of the return to Zion as well as the Ethiopian heritage
Ibrahim Omer: The Beta Israel have traditionally attributed their descent to the Israelite tribe of Dan. Also worth mentioning is the Chief Rabbi of Egypt who wrote in the sixteenth century confirming the origin of the Beta Israel as Jews from "the tribe of Dan"(as cited in Bleich, 1977, p. 302)
