1st Shelah: Originally not Frum from Birth


1:1  Genesis 10(24) “And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.”  This is a part of the Semitic line from Shem to Abraham.
1:2  The word for Eber translates to English as Hebrew.  Thus, it is such that Eber is the father of the Hebrews.
1:3  In the same way, Shem is the patriarch of the Semites because he is the son of Noah, and Abraham is his descendent.  Genesis 10:(1) “Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood.”
1:4  The first time Shelah appears in the text is as a Semite, meaning that the nation of Shelah at sometimes predates the Hebrews, and is a fully fledged gentile nation.  This is thought to be one of the reasons why the Jews are sometimes able to fall so low, only to pick themselves up in the righteous ways described by Moses.
1:5  Genesis 38:(5) “And she yet again bore a son, and called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.”  As I have discussed previously with the name Zerah, Shelah also had other origins, as I mentioned above.  Judah took Shelah in, well aged and fathered him in the ways of the Jews.  “She” refers to Judah’s Canaanite wife.  Thus, it is such that Shelah studied Torah with Judah as a Rabbi.
1:6  Numbers26:(20) “And the sons of Judah after their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of Perez, the family of the Perezites; of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites.”  Thus, it is such that the families counted in the book of Numbers tend to be good at Numbers.  However, there are different ways of being good at numbers.  Strictly, the Shalanites here, who elsewhere are called the Shelahites, are financially good with money.
1:7  The sign of a good Jew is that He, at the Passover Seder speaks out about the tyrannies of wealth for he has known them as a gentile, and also repented of them.
1:8  I theorize that one of the reasons that the Ashkenazi Jews have suffered so much is that the mother of Shelah was a Canaanite, where the Canaanites where cursed sons of Ham the son of Noah.
1:9  Shelah’s Canaanite mother is the reason that the Ashkenazi Jews have an inheritance with respect to the land of Israel, as formerly it was the land of Canaan.  Thus, due to ancestry, as there are no known Canaanites, for they fell by the sword, which the Book of Joshua describes.
1:10  The only remnant of the Canaanites is in the genes of white folk, where in modernity, Canaan is termed Neanderthal and the Neanderthals are long extinct though their DNA is still present in white people, primarily Jewish DNA in fact, which should come as no surprise.  Thus, it is such that due to Canaan, the Jews have a right to their land, where hopefully Jews observe not as Canaanites, but as sons of Judah.
