11th Zerah: Migrations to Ireland and Scotland as Milesians, Including Davidic Connections

This work is primarily commentary on Herman Hoeh’s Compendiums of World History.  I start by quoting the text directly and then comment upon it.  Herman Hoeh is not the only source for this information, but he is the best source, especially for synthesizing the information of the ancient texts.

“A late fictitious

genealogy going back to Magog arose in monkish times from the known

fact that Hebrews once dwelt in Scythia, which was also inhabited by

Magog,” Herman Hoeh.

Hoeh is probably incorrect that this Catholic genealogy was “late.”  The nations of Japheth are to dwell in the tents of the Semites.  Thus, this applies to Ireland, as it would anywhere else.  Magog is one of Japheth’s nations.  Perhaps, Protestant versus Catholic prejudices played a role in Hoeh’s thinking.

According to the historians, Ireland was settled in six waves, ordered 1 through 6 below.

1.      Wave 1:

“According to Irish history the first claim to Irish soil was made

by Nin mac Piel — that is Irish for the Assyrian king Ninus, son of

Bel or Belus. But no permanent settlement was established.”

2.      Wave 2:

“No Irish historian professes to know when the Formorians came to

Ireland.”

3.      Wave 3:

“In 2068 Parthalon and a band of Hebrew warriors arrived from the Greek world and established a settlement at Inis Saimer, a small island in the

river Erne, at Ballyshannon. Thirty years later — 2038 -Parthalon died

and the land was divided between his four sons; Er, Orba, Ferann, and

Fergna (p. 120) (p, 118).”

Note:  I generally question all of Hoeh’s dates, but I have yet to be able to posit much of a dating system that goes back more than 3,000yrs, back to the reign of David.  For example, I believe that Hoeh’s history of ancient Egypt that is almost certainly incorrect.  This is the first Scythian/Semitic wave, where Semite means one of the nations that descend from Shem.

4.      Wave 4:

“A second and related wave of migrants came into Ireland from

Scythia...  The migrants from Scythia at this period were called Nemedians,

after Nemedh, the leader of the expedition. They dwelt in Ireland for

216 years — 1708-1492.  The Fir-Bolgs set up a kingship upon their conquest of the Formorians. From Keating a list of Fir-Bolg rulers may be obtained (pp. 131-132).”

5.      Wave 5:

“The Tuatha-De-Danann of Keating's

"History" were none other than the tribe of Dan, and the invaders from

Syria were the armies of Jabin king of Canaan!... The

total length of Danite dominion in Ireland before the coming of the

royal house of the Milesians was 440 years — 1456-1016 (p. 168).”

"Forty years above four hundred,

There were, since came the tribes of Dana

Across the straits of the great sea,

Till Miledh's sons first heard dread Ocean

His music beat on Eri's shores."

“Keating

continues (p. 139): "When the Tuatha-De-Danann had remained seven

years in the north of Scotland (or Alba), they passed over to Ireland and

landed in the north of this country."

6.      Wave 6:

“The most famous ancestor of the Milesians was Eibher Scot —

Eber of Scotia, of Scythia — identifying the Milesians as sons of

Eber, or Hebrews. The children of Eber early settled in the regions of

Scythia, and gave their name to Iberia, a region in the Caucasus in

Classical times. The generations between Eber and Milesius are not

completely preserved in any Irish annals — the records are complete

only after the coming of the Milesians to Ireland”

Note1:  The ancestry below is in Compendium of World History Vol. 2 reference to the Bible and Stokvis' Manuel.  This ancestry already appears in another one of my notes on Azariah.  Mileadh had Milesian ancestry.

Jacob

Judah

Zarah

Ezra

Ethan

Azariah, who is Easru

Sru

Eibher Scot

Beogamon

Ogamon

Aldoid

Earchada

Deaghata

Bratha

Breogan

Bile

Mileadh

Note2:  Sources other than Hoeh also report that of the semi-legendary waves of migrations to Ireland that the Milesians were the 6^th.  That the tribes of Dan and Judah might be found in Ireland should not be surprising, as the Torah reports that the tribes would be scattered to the ends of the earth and that Ireland is definitely an end of the earth.  Also Yair Davidiy says verses in the Tanakh that suggest that the lost tribes will be found on islands increasing the probability that at least some of these reported semi-legendary waves of immigration actually occurred.

Note: I am unsure of the Ezra in the above ancestry and wonder if it is in fact an error.

“The realm of Ireland was now divided between

the two surviving sons of Milesius — Ebher and Ghedhe the Ereamhon

(or Heremon)… The Tea who married Ghedhe the Heremon was a daughter of Lughaidh, the son of Ith, uncle of Miledh (also spelled Mileadh). That is exactly what Irish history records. These events occurred in David's reign, not Zedekiah's. What did happen after Zedekiah's reign will be made plain shortly.”

“According to this Masonic tradition, a Prince Eochaid of Ireland

came to Jerusalem several years before 585. He was present during the

siege. This Eochaid (meaning Knight) was none other than Oilioll

Olchaoin, the son of Siorna Saoghlach mac Dian called the Heremon.

Eochaid was blood royal of the Milesian Zarah line. After the fall of

Jerusalem he married Zedekiah's daughter, named in the Masonic

tradition Tea Tephi, of the Pharez line. They fled in 585 with Jeremiah

and Baruch to Egypt.”

Note3: Thus, there is a matriarchal line (Tea Tephi) in Ireland as well, descended from the House of David.

The abbreviations after the names indicate from

which branch of the Milesians the king descended. "Er." is the line of

Ghedhe the Ereamhon; "Eb." is Ebher, brother of Ghedhe the Ereamhon;

"Ith" is the line of Ith or Itha, brother of Miledh or Mileadh; "Irw"

is the line of Ir, another (uncrowned) brother of Eber and Gede.

In 503 a migration to Scotland established the direct line of

Eremon in the new land.
