Gad in the British Isles

The article below speaks of Gad in general. We located Gad chiefly in Sweden but offshoots were also present in the British Isles and elsewhere: Concerning the British Isles we had the Getae (of Gad) recorded as amongst the Anglo-Saxon invaders of Britain, theGadeni around Edinburgh in Scotland, the Gaedhal in ancient Scotland and Ireland, the Geddingas amongst the Anglo-Saxons;the Cauci (from Chaggi) in Ireland; the Hastings who were Vandal group amongst the Angles who invaded England and Scotland; We had Gad in Sweden and Swedish rulers in parts of England, and the Scottish being sometimes referred to as 'Ysgoths" which name could mean "Goths of the Isles". Also a small enclave of Goths on the shores of the Black sea were equated with the Scottish.A few more details are given below. On the whole our understanding is that elements of all Israelite Tribes were to be found in the British Isles that nevertheless were dominated by the Tribes of Joseph. Eventually Ephraim was to be predominant in Britain and Manasseh in the USA.

WERE THE GOTHS IN BRITAIN?

The Gadeni of Scotland may have been derived from Gad. [Alternately they may have been connected to Benjamin, cf.Numbers 1:11] OF BENJAMIN; ABIDAN THE SON OF GIDEONI. ]

The Goths had some type of connection with Scotland and some English authors named them Ysgoths, this name could connote "Goths of the Island". Certain archaeologists believe that finds from the ship Sutton Hoo indicate the presence of a Gothic element amongst the Anglo-Saxons. In 1404 Archbishop Johannes de Gabonifontibus (who had been in England) reported: Two small nations are living along and around the Black Sea; the Thats and a few Goths. The Goths claim to have descended from the Scots and speak like the English22. The Thats were a branch of the original Teutons. The Teutons had been in Northern Germany and Denmark and were absorbed by the Anglo-Saxons. A section of the Thats by the Black Sea shores of Southern Russia practiced Judaism and are known as The Mountain Jews [Most of whom have since moved to Israel].

Scotland

Jacob's prophetic blessing upon Gad is observable in the tribes behavioral characteristics throughout history until many centuries later. In modern history, the descendents of Gad are among the Gauthie, Gauls, Goths, and Celts speaking Gadhelic and other Teutonic dialects of the Old Norse period. Note throughout this study there are inconsistencies in the spelling of various dialects and ethnicities and my choice was American style contemporary; this is a mute point as long as the truth is conveyed. Hence, the word, God, is found laced in the dialects of some later peoples that ventured into Breton, Scotland, Brittany, Iceland, etc.

• 1. Of or pertaining to the branch of the Celtic race comprising the Irish, Gaels of Scotland, and the Manx of the Isle of Man; distinguished from the Cymric
• 2. The group of languages or dialects spoken by the Gadhelic Celts[22]

The dictionary definitions above provide yet another building blocks to frame the etymological tree of our English word for ?god? down to the roots of the ancient Israelite tribe of Gad and the pagan deity Gad, whom they carried with them from the days of the Old Testament. Gadhelic is a well-known tongue used in assorted dialects across Scotland and England, and is found throughout parts of Scandinavia. The word is a compound form of, Gad, plus, Gaelic, proving the ties to its ancient Semitic roots.

Gadhelic is a present day dialect, notably distinguished from that dialect of the Cymric, which are the descendents of the Cimmerians. Cymri are Welsh Celts, Cornish people, and the Bretons. The Breton is a native of Brittany in Northwest France, a dialect of Celt (aka the language of Brittany). The Breton are one and the same as the Armoricans mentioned earlier. The Britons (later called Bretons) gradually converted the Armorican Celts, then mainly pagans, to Christianity. The Armoricans and Bretons alike referred to their chief deity (Jupiter via Thor) as Gad, pronounced, ?Gawd,? and once converted to Christianity, used the same title for the Supreme God of the Bible. The Anglo-Saxon Celts and German Goths who also had Gad in their dialect, are mainly responsible for changing its form from Gad to god, or God. This can be seen directly thru the Danes and Dutch spelling of Gad as God.
