NAR OR MOOR? AN ANSWER FOR ISHMAEL BEY. ALSO, UNITING THE MOABITES AND ISRAELITES.

Islam, peace and greetings to you all.

I rise giving all Praise to Allah and the highest of honors to His Holy and Divine Prophet Noble Drew Ali. I extend honors to the Harbinger and Forerunner, Marcus Mosiah Garvey. I extend honors to all true and Divine Prophets and I extend honors to you all for when man honors man, he honors his Father, God-Allah.

In this exposition, this researcher, Sheik Way-El, aka Lord Abba, will attempt to bring some light to a find given by one of the few brothers that I have grown to respect from the Amen Ra Squad, that being, Ishmael Bey.

He had brought an interesting find to my attention a few years ago pertaining to the Wolof word for Moor which is “Nar”. His finds came from a book called “The Devil's Lane: Sex and Race in the Early South” edited by Catherine Clinton and Michele Gillespie. In it, on page 243 we find:

“Nar, the Wolof name for Moor, means “burn,” a preferred technique of warfare among the Moors. The nation designation Nar is found on Louisiana documents dating from the Spanish period (1770-1803).”[1]

The above citation is critical in so many regards when compared to records in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, where Moors are cited on the legal records which means that there were many of our people who knew that they were Moors as opposed to Negroes and Black people. References of the Nar, can be found among old sources of the 1800’s relayed by European writers in their (rather skewed) field studies of the peoples of the land of Africa where Moors are called “Nar nation” by tribes in Senegal that the Europeans list as Oulao and Biffeche (Bisseche?)[2]

This lends support to a theory that this author makes when he posits that there is a thread of traditional knowledge that was passed down from the first people on this earth who are in fact the Moors about their most ancient appellation to each generation or civilization and these are the adept artificers and builders of the ancient world whose model we have used today to build the modern world. Such is not the subject of this treatise and so it will not be extended in this treatise however, to get a glimpse at what I speak in curt detail, please review my blog called THE MOORS CAME FROM THE SACRED MOUNT MERU. 

According to an online Wollof - English Dictionary, we find for the word Nar:

naar

(n) Moor, Arabic descent. Naar yu bari ci Gambia bi Muritani leñu jogee. Many Mooris in the Gambia came from Mouritania.[3]

In the above cited, we see that the very name Naar is said to derive from Arabic descent. The Arabic word for fire is in fact Nar (نار) which is a derivative of the noun Nur (نور) which means “luminosity”. The Hebrew word for fire is esh (אש) however, the Hebrew word for light is pronounced “Owr” (אור) which corresponds with luminosity and in the Aramaic dialect, which is closer to the Arabic in general, we have nwr for the word fire[4]. It is clear that all of these are cognates and would undoubtedly have sprung from its parent language which is the Moabite language Mudar from whence the Aramaic, the Hebrew, the Syriac, and the Arabic dialects directly derive.

The Hebrew word for light OWR is spelled "aleph vav resh" (אור) which produces the sound RUT.  We will revisit this “rut”, later on. Jesus or Yeshua is called in the Hebrew Ohr Ha-Olam which translates as “the Light of the World”. We will connect this to the aleph vav resh or “rut” as well.

A very curious but logical question has to be asked and that is; how does the Wolof and other tribes of that region come to call these Moors by the appellation Nar which is simply said to be some sort of special firefighting technique, if, these tribes do not speak Arabic? Did these Arabic speaking Moors tell these tribes and nations that this was their name? Can we find any records of these Moors who spoke Arabic referring to themselves as Nar? Does the word Nar even relate to the word Moor? From this, this researcher will do his best to put the pieces of this puzzle together.

In spoken language the world over, going back to ancient dialects like the Egyptian, the letter N and M are interchangeable and they represent what is known as “nasals”. The alveolar nasal is a type of consonantal sound used in numerous spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar nasals is 〈n〉, and the equivalent X-SAMPA (Extended Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet) symbol is (n). The vast majority of languages have either an alveolar or dental nasal. There are a few languages that lack either sound but have [m] (e.g. colloquial Samoan). There are some languages (e.g., Rotokas) that lack both [m] and [n].[5]

In our case, in terms of this exposition, where we are using Hebrew and Aramaic and Arabic chiefly, these interchangeable letters (N & M) are called “Edenics”. We all know the part of the pledge of allegiance where it says “and amber waves of grain…”, but did you know that the word aMber comes from Arabic aNbar and in this; we have a clear example of an M and N nasal interchange. In the Hebrew it is Nun (N) and Mem (M) and these are interchangeable in many of the Hebrew words and we find this occurrence in our English and many languages around the world. There are many unacknowledged Nun words that gave us English M words, including the elM tree from the ilaN (shade tree), or the moron from the NaR (youth). Just as Greek moros (foolish) developed from moro (child), a foolish adult in Yiddish is accused of NaR(ishkeit).[6] The last sentence is ripe with things that this author could touch on but that would add another 3-4 pages to this treatise however, you clearly see the expression of mor and nar expressed as a word meaning “youth” made into cognates of other words in later languages and dialects.

What this researcher believes that we have with owr, or ohr and its several variations, is what is known in spoken language studies as a voiceless alveolar nasal sound where the N and M are silent. Theoretically, we can deduce based on what we have above that, Nar can in fact be the same as Moor and is quite possible, that this term in some form derived from a pidgin of transplant and spoken languages in the aforementioned African regions. How about the root of the Arabic word Nar which is Nur which is pronounced ‘noor’? Can we then, based on the above language breakdown use the Mwr (moor) instead? I want to stress, this is only theoretical however, we still have not, nor can we reconcile the fact that these Wolof and other Moors speaking their own dialect, called the Arabic speaking Moors by the Arabic name Nar. What this author also failed to mention also is that the Wolof word for fire is listed as boi, to illuminate is niit and to burn is lakk[7]. But what about the other word for Moor according to the Wolof dictionary which is Amet? The Wolof to English dictionary has this:

Amet (n) Moor. Amet bi Muriani la jónée. The Moore is from Muritania.[8]

This researcher does not believe that the appellation Nar is based on some special fire technique, as the authors of the cited source “The Devil's Lane: Sex and Race in the Early South”, never gave an example or a historical reference, and this researcher has found no instances as to why the Wolof Moors called these Arabic speaking Moors Nar (outside of the Devil’s Lane reference) especially when we have cited in the referenced Wolof to English dictionary another name in the Wolof for the word Moor. If my research fell short in this regard, I look forward to a fill in the blanks in this respect.

So what happens when we take the position of the voiceless nasal and make silent or even remove the N or the M off of Nar or even Moor? We are left with OOR for the word Moor that we have today, and AR for the Wolof word for Moor (Nar) as cited above. This OOR, that is without the M, would be the exact identical in pronunciation for the Hebrew oor which means luminosity, or light. And then we have to look at the ar aspect of the above hypothesis and this is where “connect the dots” becomes the enjoyable part of this research project.

Biblical narratives posit that the ancient city of Moab was called “Ar” which is a direct phonetic contradistinction to “Ur” of Chaldees, the birthplace of Abraham who is the father of the multitudes. Just by pronouncing the words Ar and Ur and what is stated in the last paragraphs illuminates itself rather brightly; pun intended. Let us now closely analyze the word Ur, its relationship with Ar, and the various definitions associated with it: 

• ·    Light - The Hebrew word “Ur” is thought by many to mean “flame”. This may be derived from the Hebrew word ‘owr, which means “illumination or (concrete) luminary” light.” (OT:216 Strong's Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary) 
•  ·    Waking - The implication of “light” may be the origin of the Hebrew word ‘ur, which means “opening the eyes, to wake.” (OT:5782 Strong's Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary) One lexicon defines this as “a place guarded by waking or a watch) in the widest sense (even of a mere encampment or post).” (OT:5892 Strong's Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary) 
•  ·        City – The implication of “waking” may be the origin of the Hebrew word `iyr which is translated as “city”. One lexicon states, “Various other etymologies have been proposed: some taking the word as the Sanskrit ur, a town, or even the Hebrew ‘iyr.” (“UR” McClintock and Strong Encyclopedia) The Moabite word ‘Ar means “city.” (“AR” McClintock and Strong Encyclopedia) The Hebrew word Uru appears to be related and is defined as “city.” (OT:3389 Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon) A reference work describing the origin of the word “Jerusalem” states, “The oldest known form, Uru-sa-lim, has been considered by many to mean the ‘City of Peace.’” (“JERUSALEM” International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) 
•  ·      The chief city - These references may indicate that Ur was not simply a city of the Chaldeans, but was the CHIEF city of the Chaldees. The Moabites named their CHIEF CITY by the related word ‘Ar. One reference describes ‘Ar as “The chief city (as the name means) of Moab.” (“Ar” Fausset's Bible Dictionary) 

Another reference work states, “The Chaldeans were a warlike, aggressive people from the mountains of Kurdistan. Apparently they were Haldians (or Khaldians).” (“CHALDEANS” The New Unger's Bible Dictionary) This derivation may indicate that the Chaldeans were descendants of the one who “captured” many of the cities of Mesopotamia. Perhaps the phrase “Ur of the Chaldeans” should best be translated as “the chief city of the one(s) who capture”.

There are so many intriguing aspects noted in the above. In the above definitions, the second one given shows that Ar also means “Waking”. We can then assert that the very name Ar is directly connected to an eye which we can trace back to the name of the Egyptian sun god Ra (hard not to notice that Ra appears to be Ar backwards) where we get the epithet “The eye of Ra” and Ra being the sun god, would give us our light and luminosity.

 

Glyph of Amen-Ra showing sun disc

Various sources conclude that the eye of Ra comes to earth as a vengeful deity in the form of Sehkmet, as Ra was too old and weak too take vengeance upon those who mocked him. Sehkmet comes from the Egyptian word sehkem which translates as “power” and so her name is connected to the Egyptian word for eye which we will show below. In brief, this account is interesting because Sehkmet comes in the form of a lion. We will touch on this “lion” aspect later on in this discourse.

This connection is absolutely hard to ignore or dismiss. Osiris, whose name can be read as was+ir, where the eye appears to represent the sound 'ir' (ir=ar/ur?) seems to illumine this idea.

Glyph of Osiris. The eye represents the sound "iyr" like "ear"

According to James P. Allen, Wilbour Professor of Egyptology and Ancient Western Asian Studies for Brown University, the word for eye is “Ila” in the Oromo language[9]  which can be deduced to the consonant shift from the R to the L, common when transliterations are made from the Egyptian to the Proto-Semetic languages as they are called. According to Massey, Ar becomes Al in the "Semetic" tongue which gives us the word El[10] and, the fact that the Moorish Americans today trace their descendants as the ancient Moabites who inhabited the Northwestern and the Southwestern shores of Africa and, the fact that they wear annexed to their given names 'EL' for their national designation (much like Jews have "stein" as the root of their surnames) the parallels astound. 

Among early scholars, the three oldest peoples in the world were the Ethiopians, the Egyptians, and the Arii. The double 'ii' is a Roman suffix denoting plurality but would undoubtedly stem from the Egyptian long ‘e’ (EE) (ee) sound for plurality. Apuleius, the famous Latin prose writer who was half Berber and half European, in his book The Golden Ass, cites a text where Isis is allegedly edifying herself. It says: 

“[T]he Ethiopians, the Arii and the Egyptians skilled in ancient learning, worshiping me by ceremonies perfectly appropriate, call me by my true name, Queen Isis.” (M.P. Hall 1926 pp. 119-120)

Gerald Massey in his The Natural Genesis: Two Volumes in One on page 22 says this of the Arii: 

“So far from the Aryan name having begun with the so-called Aryan race of Central Asia it is as old as the naming of the gods of the earliest orbit, the brotherhood of the seven stars. The Ari in Egyptian are the companions, the watchers who became the seven Kab-ari, as the Ari of Kheb (Egypt), or from Kab (Eg.) to revolve together. The Ari of Khep or Heb would account for the name of the Iberii in Africa and Ireland, and the Kam-ari, or Kymry or Wales. The Ari were Kamite Blacks before they were the Median Arioi or the Aryas of India. Apuleius mentions the Arii as an African race together with the Ǽthiopians or Kushites of the Persian Gulf, and the Egyptians. The Ari are also found as the Zingari, the European Attu-arii, Bioo-arii, Chattu-arii, Petu-arii, Ingu-arii, Bav-ari, Bulg-ari and other of this type-name, which was not derived from the Saxon Ware, for men. The Ari or Arya brotherhood had gone out over the world in the earliest times and was carried forth by and as the black people.” The Natural Genesis: Two Volumes in One By Gerald Massey pg. 22 (republished in 2011)

Several things we note in Massey’s explanation above and that is:

• 1.      He calls the Ari “Kamite Blacks” with Kamite denoting Ham.
• 2.     That he calls the Ari “companions” will match up with a later part of this exposition
• 3.     That he calls them also Iberii. Can this be an allusion to Iber or Eber from where the word Hebrew might derive?
• 4.     That he cites Apuleius who lived between 125-180 A.D. as was shown in our source above from Manly P. Hall’s works, directly connecting the Ari with the Cushites and the Egyptians
• 5.     That the people historically called Aryan are not the founders of this name, but are usurpers
• 6.     That these people, the Ari were the ones that went out into the world in the earliest times and he notes them by the accepted misnomer “black people”

All of the above points deserve much more inquiry than this paper allows however, this researcher thought it best to point these out to accentuate the very purpose of this discourse as this researcher believes that Ar, Ur, Nar, and Moor are all interrelated words that developed from the earliest times across many languages remaining linguistically similar through various language pidgins.

This sheds so much light on this word “Ar” which is also called a city of the Moabites in the biblical narrative. Just by looking at Ar in the singular and then using ancient pluralization, we would undoubtedly be called collectively, the “Ari/Arii”. Gerald Massey in the above says that these Ari or Arya where we would undoubtedly get the word Aryan from today, were in fact a “black” people and that they had gone out and carried this forth to the rest of the world. Ham and Ethiopian, or Ham and Cush, are used exclusively to refer to Moors whom are falsely called by the misnomer “black” people in modern academia and so to relate, according to Massey’s versions of events, it is these Arii that carried civilization to the whole world. These would have been the Cushites, or Hamites, two names connected with hot, or fervent, which later became “sunburnt” with the advent of the later name Ethiopian given by the Greeks. Ethiopian means SUNDERED AND TWAIN or “something divided”[11] and was later made to mean sunburnt to refer to the dark skins of the Moors as the same way the Judaic codex writers translates Cush or Cushi to mean black. These meanings, black and sunburnt, are what are known as false cognates given our people. Those with Eyes Wide Open are here to set things back in the proper order.

It becomes clear via the biblical narrative that the placing of the Moabites in the city of Ar albeit the bible's historical events are largely actual accounts greatly distorted and which are told eponymously and as etiological myths, is merely connecting the Moabites to the most ancient branch of mankind in a way that the biblical codex writers were adept at doing. We Moorish American Moslems of the M.S. T. of A. teach that the Moors were the first people of the world and that Moor and Moabite are synonymous terms.[12] [13] 

Let us now look at some of the other breakdowns of the word OWR as the Hebrew word for light and other meanings:

·        05782. `uwr, oor; ayin vav resh;

a primitive root (rather identical with 5783 through the idea of opening the eyes); to wake (literally or figuratively):--(a- )wake(-n, up), lift up (self), X master, raise (up), stir up (self).

·        See Hebrew 05783 (`uwr) ayin vav resh;

a primitive root; to (be) bare:--be made naked.

Hab 3:9 only use;

·        05785. `owr, ore; ayin vav resh;

from 5783; skin (as naked); by implication, hide, leather:--hide, leather, skin. See Hebrew 05783 (`uwr)

·        0216. 'owr, ore; aleph vav resh

from 215; illumination or (concrete) luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.):--bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.

·        See Hebrew 0215 ('owr) aleph vav resh;

a primitive root; to be (causative, make) luminous (literally and metaphorically):--X break of day, glorious, kindle, (be, en-, give, show) light (-en, -ened), set on fire, shine.

The phonetic similarity of the root of these words is remarkable. Even with the aleph/ayin difference, the pronunciation is almost indistinguishable. It is however, hard for this researcher who is not versed in the Hebrew language to fully give a breakdown in this regard, nevertheless, we must highlight these instances and use our common sense and stand to be corrected if we err.

We also find among early Christian writers where the Moors of North West and South West Africa that invaded Spain are collectively called “Chaldeans”[14] and the relationship between Ur, the ancient home of Abraham, and Ar again irradiate themselves brightly and the parallel, also, connected in name and actual personages, is weighty to ignore and chalk up as fanciful conflations.

So we see above in the first listed from the Concordance that the Hebrew oor alludes to an eye, or the opening of the eyes or to awaken. This can be directly related to the morning hours when the sun and its penetrating light or luminosity first appears to light the portion of the world that it shines on.  Remember that this researcher said earlier that this is enjoyable, putting this type of research together because it opens up so many thoughts, ideas, other avenues to research, and in some cases, concrete facts that cannot be disputed.

From this, I want to bring you to the sons of Judah according to the Biblical narrative. Judah had 5 sons, 3 by a Canaanite woman (Genesis 38:2) who is simply called Beth-Shua. We will stick with the three sons of the Canaanite woman for this exposition. These sons are:

• ·        Er
• ·        Onan
• ·        Shelah

The breakdowns to these names are so intriguing, coupled with the fact that Judah, an Israelite tribe but listed eponymously as an actual human male, married and had sons by a Canaanite which is forbidden according to the Biblical narrative (Genesis 26:34–35; 28:8; Ezra 9–10 to name a few), however, we will leave these alone in this note but rest assured, in future works we will highlight these things in depth and prove how the Biblical narrative was written to shift around the connection between Moab and Israel and script them as sworn enemies to each other. This author feels this is blatantly false in will show and prove in future works.

Let us get back to the sons of Judah, in particular, the son named Er. I have scanned the below from out of my Smith’s Bible Dictionary which unfortunately, has no publishing date and based on matching up some of the meanings, I have traced it between (1966-77) however, based on some of the sources cited, it could be earlier.

 Notice that the name Er means watchful.  The same exact name in the Strong’s Concordance appears as it appears above in connection to this name meaning or relating to an eye and also light, bare, naked and hide. Can this hide referring to skin be a play on the Adam and Eve story when it said that they hid themselves from the Lord (Genesis 3:7) and the God of the Bible asked them why did they cover themselves, cover their nakedness (Gen. 3:10-11)? Was this subtle racism to show the skin as a badge of shame? Can this somehow be the codex writer’s allusion that the very first people were in fact Moors? Remember, there are two different Adams in the Bible, one is created on the sixth day (Gen. 1:26-31), and one is created on the seventh day (Gen. 2:7). Is not Prophet Jesus connected to Adam and called “the light of the world”? What about the word for lamb in the New Testament Greek which is amnos[15] but there are several instances, where this word is listed as arnion[16] from the Greek arni for lamb. Doesn’t arnion sound a lot like Arnon, the river of the Moabites in the Biblical city of Ar? Prophet Noble Drew Ali says that Prophet Jesus is of the TRUE BLOOD of Moabites and Canaanites and the inhabitants of Africa[17]. Prophet Jesus represents the lamb spoken of in Revelation however, in Revelations, he is called “the strong lion of Judah” (Revelation 5:5) and lion in the Hebrew can be found as Ari and the Greek word for lamb in Revelations, almost exclusively, besides one reference in the book of John, is arnion[18]. This researcher feels strongly that these are clues hidden right in our very faces. There is no coincidence that our brother Ishmael Bey found this word Nar for it lead to this exposition and a connection of the dots that the rulers and the rich, the concealers of our history would not have ever thought we would connect.

What about the city cited in the Bible called Aroer which was taken from Sihon, the king of the Amorites (Joshua 13:9) situated 35 miles north of the river Arnon? Here we connect the Amorites with a city apparently named in based on some derivation of Ar. The bible dictionaries including the one that I have translates the city Aroer as “ruins”. What is so odd about this is that many cities that were destroyed or left desolate are given the translation “ruins” by their translators so we know for an absolute fact that this cannot be the name as the Hebrew name for ruins is galal (gaw-lal') cited from Strong’s 1556 a primitive root; to roll (literally or figuratively):--commit, remove, roll (away, down, together), run down, seek occasion, trust, wallow. This is how you pull the cover off of the secrets.

What about this other interesting notion that, like shown by Massey above, where the R and the L are interchangeable and so, it can conceivably be insinuated that Er is another way of saying El. Is this an impossibility? Is not Er the son of Bath-Shua, a Canaanite woman whose namesake is also listed as the mother of Solomon (1Chron. 3:5)?  Isn’t the Canaanite God called by the most ancient name of El? Isn’t El, from whence the word Allah derives, the ancient name for God in general? This author would love a written critique in the form of rebuttal of these points made if any could be put together in this regard.

Er, in the Strong’s Concordance, also connects with the Moabite city Ar and Ai[19] and other uses for the name variant Ar that the codex writers use to mean “enemy” which is what the codex writers of the old Testament did, they took original names, and gave them derogatory meanings. To not belabor this point, we bring you to another of the sons of Judah not by the Canaanite woman called Zarah. Zarah is the self-same as Zerah and Zara who is listed as a Cushite or an Ethiopian.

Notice that Zerah is said to mean “a rising of light” which is the self-same as the Arabic word Zahra or Zahara and the same as the Hebrew Zohar where we get the Kabbalistic texts from. 

What is interesting to note is that, this is the name of a Cushite king said to have invaded Judah. Common sense tells us that these Cushites were more than likely not trying to invade Judah, but take it back since 2^nd Chronicles is written well after the book of Joshua in the biblical chronology. So I know that one reading this might be asking “how can he so confidently come to say that this Cushite is not invading Judah, but trying to take it back?” I get this a lot as I am often accused of trying to squeeze a square peg in a round hole but these accusations never come in written rebuttals, just Facebook or YouTube comments.

I now turn your attention the fact that the Prophet Noble Drew Ali said that the Moors were driven out of their homeland by Joshua, the robber son of Nun. In Windsor’s From Babylon to Timbuctoo, we cite:

“these Canaanites of Africa were driven out of the land of Canaan by Joshua. About 332 B.C. Alexander conquered Palestine. As stated above, the Africans came to Alexander claiming that the land of Canaan belonged to them. The point that I want to elucidate is that these Canaanites considered themselves Africans. We can correctly say that the Hebrew-Canaanite language is one of the African languages.”[20]

Rudolph Windsor, drawing from the Babylonian Talmud (compiled over the period of Late Antiquity 3rd to 5th centuries), correctly posits that the Africans were in fact descended from ancient Canaan which is not only the region called Palestine today, but this author asserts based on hours of research, also includes all of Arabia and parts of present day Iraq. The Babylonian Talmud relays the account like this:

“The rabbis taught: On the twenty-fourth of Nissan the contractors of duty were taken off from Judah and Jerusalem. This was when the Africans summoned Israel before Alexander of Macedonia, claiming that the land of Canaan belonged to them. As it reads [Num. Xxxiv. 2]:

 "The land of Canaan according to its boundaries"-- and that they were the descendants of Canaan. Said Gbiah b. Psisa to the sages: Permit me, and I will appear before Alexander as advocate of the defendant Israel, and if they defeat me, say to them, "You have defeated an ignoramus among us"; and if I defeat them, say to them, "The law of Moses has defeated you." He got this permission, and did so. Then he said to them: What is your evidence? And their answer was: From your Torah. Then said he: “I in defence will also bring my evidence from the same. It reads [Gen. ix. 25]: "And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." Now, to whom belongs the estate of a slave, if not to his master. And not this only, but I summon you before the king for the many years you have not done any service for us.” And Alexander commanded them to give answer, for which they requested from him three days' time. And he gave it to them. And as they could not find any right answer at the appointed time they fled, leaving their fields, which were sown, and their vineyards, which were planted. And this year was a Sabbatical one.”[21]

We also find Christian sources dating back to 298 – 373 A.D. where the Africans are mentioned as Canaanites by their own testimonies.

“In St. Athanasius’s time, the Africans still said they were descended from the Canaanites; and it is said, that the Punic tongue was almost entirely the same with the Canaantish and Hebrew languages.” [22]

The above makes it clear that the Africans wanted Canaan back and this is why these raids listed in the Bible by Taharka (2 Kings 19:9; Isaiah 37:9), Shishak (2 Chronicles 12:3) and other clearly Moorish or if you want to use the term African or even the misnomer “black” rulers, like Zerah are said to have gone to “invade” Judah and other renamed parts of these ancient places. Let us analyze this a little closely before we close out as it is all relative because the Africans or Cushites, also called “black” people, the same so called “black” people that Gerald Massey gives the name Ari to (which would also render Ali), cited in several sources above as a group of people who existed coeval with the Egyptians and Ethiopians meaning that, they were in fact Moors, the term that this author prefers to call our people as this author believes it is in fact the most ancient appellation of our people and the bible accounts these Moors trying to get their lands back.

In the case of Shishak, the king of Egypt, an actual historical figure existing outside of the Biblical narrative (some erroneously believe that all characters in the Bible are made up fictions) for instance, in 2Chronicles 12:3, is said to have gathered the Libyans, Sukkites or Sukkiim, and Cushites together for war to take the city of Judah. In the NIV Bible, the footnote says for Cushites “that is, people from the upper Nile region” meaning, the area called Sudan or Nubia today. The biblical verse reads:

 “Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem in the fifth year of King of Rehoboam. With twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horseman and the innumerable of Libyans, Sukkites and Cushites that came with him from Egypt, he captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem. ” 2Chronicles 12:2-4 NIV

 It is no doubt the race of the Libyans are Moors. I say that because there is some contention as to the race of the Libyans and this scholastic battle was waged in the book Golden Age of the Moor by Ivan Van Sertima where  Wayne B. Chandler challenged sister Dana Marniche’s (Reynolds) claims that the Libyans were a so called “black” people. Sister Dana Marniche gave the clearest of proofs while Wayne B. Chandler appeared to rely more on what was attributed to the Libyans by other writers as opposed to actually taking into account the in-depth sources that the sister Dana Marniche gave to solidify her argument and thus win that battle in this authors eyes. Be that as it may, we know without doubt who the Cushites are but this group, the Sukkites or the Sukkim, what about them?

Notice in the above scanned image that it gives as the meaning of these people as “dwelling in booths.” When we look at the context of what is being relayed here according to the biblical scholars; then this author makes a bold, yet unsupported assertion. The actual meaning of the word booths as is used in this regard, according to the same dictionary reads:

Booths: Huts made of branches of trees or other very perishable materials.

 Now, this bold assertion based on the contextual definition given above, is, that these represent your African tribes who are more or less your hunter gathering tribes whose civilization is based on a primitive sedentary (non-nomadic) lifestyle. This author says that it is these collectively who went and took Jerusalem which we can, based on the definitions given above, simply call Ur-Salem or Ar-Salem which is said to mean, “City of peace”. This author will also boldly assert that, these people collectively are the Moors (Nar, Ari), the Moabites, children (moro) of the father (ab), God, whom we today call Allah. Of connecting that name  moro with children or sons, this researcher has a bevy of information that he will present in the book THE MOABITES WHO ARE THE MOORS, OR THE WORLDS FIRST PEOPLE.

And this is why this author believes that Prophet Mohammed was sent, to finish the task of the breaking of the iron hand oppression of the pale skin nations of Europe who governed large portions of the Mideast and had made alliances with certain tribes in Arabia which formed the foundation of the Coptic church that had control of the southern portions of Arabia like Yemen during the 3rd century A.D.

And what of the name Arabia? It is written like this Ar’abia by the translators. Can it be that Ar-abia is in some way connected to the Moabite city Ar of the biblical narrative? Is it that the whole of Arabia represents the whole of the dominion of Moab? Is Ar-ab somehow connected to Mo’ab? Those familiar with my research know that I constantly show how the apostrophe (‘) in Mo’ab is there to represent the phoneme sound for ‘R’ thus giving the name of Mo’ab or Mo’ab (Mo[R]ab) which is the exact name of the Moors who took Spain and called by the Christian pens, Morabites and Almoravids with the latter denoting “The” (Al) Morav-ids or Morab-ids as the v and the b are interchangeable in the Hebrew and certain Berber dialects.[23]

If the Ar-ab hypothesis is just conflation by the author, why is there no settled etymology for word Arab or Arabia? The bible dictionaries merely list Arabia as “east country.” These words do not connect to the Hebrew word for east (qedem), or country (‘erets) so where does this translation come from? Notice in the below scanned image from the Smith’s Bible Dictionary that the word Ar which is NOT the real name of the city, its real name is Rabbath Moab which gives this researcher even more confidence that this is (Ar, same as Nar) is referencing the people themselves, who are anciently called the Ar or Ari, which can, by using the nasal context above, across time and language, be written is (N)ar, (M)ar, (N)oor, (M)oor, all meaning the same exact thing. Let me stress, this is this authors hypothesis.

Now we bring you to the Bible dictionary's definition of Ar:

Notice the second name listed Ara. It means lion. You will note also that Judah is in fact called Ari, another name for lion. Also notice the very 3^rd definition, Ar’ab which just happens to be another name for Judah. The definition says that the city is lost. Now, let us put the proverbial “two and two” together. You have a city in Arabia that is said to be lost, meaning cannot be located by modern means and, you have the word Arabia with no connectable linguistic etymology and so the codex writers give it the name east country. This researcher, based on what he has uncovered thus far in researching biblical names and places, feels that these were very shrewd cover ups to hide the race of the true Arabians, the people Ar, the people Nar, the people Moor. Look below at the scanned image of the definition of an Arabian. It says that a part of these nomads were the sons of Keturah, the 3^rd, barely mentioned wife of Abraham. Her ethnicity is unmistakably Moorish or what some of you may call by the misnomer “black”.

 Did you notice the name of the king “Aretas”? The online Strong’s Concordance in the Greek (the book Maccabees is revealed in the Greek) has:

 702. Aretas ar-et'-as of foreign origin; Aretas, an Arabian:--Aretas.

 Notice that it says “of foreign origin” so what exactly is the etymology to this word? How is that there are no etymological breakdowns absolutely conclusive for this word Ar especially when it connects to other words as we have shown with Aroer above?

Then we have the name Arba which simply seems like a play on words because the name Kirjath means a city in the Hebrew and one of the cities taken by Joshua’s troops was Kirjath-arba (the city of Arba) which is the same name as Arbah in Gen. 35:27 which in fact is Hebron which means that originally, this was the possession of the Moors before Joshua’s troops ran them from here.

 

Notice that the second definitions lists Ar’ba as meaning “hero-baal”. Is this the true root of the word Arab? So many ways we can dissect the past several definitions but for now, we will move on.

What is interesting to note is that phonetically, this name Arba, appears to be a play on the name Arab which, appears to be a play on the name Rabbah, the very name of the city of Moab! Arba, Arab, Rabba, all appear to be the same exact word semantically jumbled up by the codex writers having no stable definitions that one can point to definitively because when you get to the bottom of the Rabbah at image, the 2^nd definition reveals that the city Ar was also called Rabbath Moab and then at number 3, it says it is a “city of Judah”.

So here we see a coalescence with Moab and Ammon, the ancient people of the land falsely given a condemnable slander by those who changed the texts of the Torah to read that somehow Lot, a righteous man could be tricked by his own two daughters to drink excessively on back to back nights and have sex with them and produce two sons, Moab and Ammon (Ben-Ami), all because there was NO MAN IN ALL OF THE EARTH THAT WOULD GO IN UNTO THEM (Gen. 19:31). Ammon is the exact same as Amon or Amen, one of the God’s of Egypt.

It is possible, it is quite possible and plausible that, Amen-Ra (Ammon and Ar) represents two branches of our race that came together to form one nation during our rule in Egypt and in some later date, when pushed out, formed ourselves another kingdom in North Arabia or, always maintained a kingdom in these parts of Arabia and from here, went and formed the Egyptian civilization and the many others we have in Africa even until this day. Prophet Noble Drew Ali informs us in Moorish Holy Koran that the sons of Canaan who were driven out of the Holy Lands “received permission from the Pharoahs of Egypt to settle in that portion of Egypt. In later years they formed themselves kingdoms. These kingdoms are called this day Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, etc.”

Remember, ancient writers list the people Ar as existing coevally with the Egyptians and the Ethiopians and so this is hardly something that can be dismissed as conflation. Of course, more research would have to be done in this regard but the parallel, the parallel astounds even if you want to in this instance, accuse the author of conflation. I will answer up to the charge with a bevy of research!

Now here is where it gets EVEN MORE interesting. In the below scanned image, we see that Rabbath is of the children of Ammon. Underneath we see Rabbi and after we see Rabbith meaning multitude.

Now we have Rabbath, the same exact as Rabbah, which connects to form the city Rabbath-Moab and this author believes he has cracked one of the vital codes pertaining to our history as is scripted in the bible and that is, a continuation of Hamite (Ammon) and Cushite (Ra) who are undoubtedly the ancient Moors. Dunjee Houston in her seminal works states that Amen-Ra is in fact Cush.[24]

It is this authors view that, these places do not represent the area known as Palestine proper today, no, it is this authors opinion based on intense research and perusal of various sources and cross referencing professional scholars like Dr. Wesley Muhammad, sister Dana Marniche, Africanist and linguist Bernard Leeman, Kamal Salibi who wrote The Bible Came From Arabia, and several other early works, this author is convinced that most if not all of what is happening in the Old Testament narrative, is in fact taking place deep in Arabia and not where we believe Israel to be today.

Notice where Leeman’s map puts Israel and Judah. Notice the name Jeddah also. Notice on the map “Old Jerusalem” as being a part of this area whose real appellation would have been Rabbath or Rabba/Rabba or Arba/Arab with Judah being Jeddah, a city of Rabba. Notice that, according to this map, where New Jerusalem is situated, where Palestine proper is located today.

Look at the image below giving the definition for Amon. Notice the first Amon is connected Judah. This cannot be a coincidence, this is a skilled way of hiding the truth of a people conquered largely by this book and its weilders, and secondly, by a people who knew we would not look close enough. This is why this author moves with Prophet Noble Drew Ali who brought the indisputable facts.

 

It is clear that Ammon relates to Amen-Ra of which this author boldly asserts is the connection of two branches of our ancestry because the very name Amen-Ra is a connection of two Gods of ancient Egypt, Amun (the hidden one) and Re (the sun) and was the king of Gods in his human form. In the Hebrew, this epithet would be rendered Malek-Elohim. Malek means king and the God of the Ammonites is Moloch which is nothing more than a slick play on the word Malek, which in fact means king. Put two and two together for those of you who come across this missive. They demonized your ancestry and its Gods.

Remember, Abraham also means “father of the multitude” and we see for Amon above, the same meaning giving. Are these in any way connected? Look at the word Abraham. If the M is removed, it would give us ABRAHA which seems to fit in with this researchers theory relating the words Rabba, Rabbah, Rabbath, Arba, and Arab. Again, take the M off of Abraha(m) and look at again. Again, this is this researchers theory that appears on its face, as appearing to having a connection.

In the above we clearly see that Ham is also called Jupiter Ammon, the same called for Cush and we simply see that Cush and Ham, and Moab and Ammon and Canaan and the tribes connecting to them called “sons” in the biblical eponymous narratives are all related, and, in fact, are all one.

Drawing off of the works of Corippus, an epic poem written by him called Johannis, in hexameters of eight books containing 4700 lines, he details the wars between the Moors and the Byzantine empire during the years of 534-538 A.D. Flavius Cresconius Corippus began writing these epics in the 550’s and the wars are styled in a way as a form of “Holy wars” by the literary analysis of the texts.[25] This was obviously before the advent of the Mohammedan religion.

In this works, the pagan Moors, those who were not converts to Christianity, are subject to the usual Christian attacks; they adore idols devoid of meaning and put their trust in “false gods”, who are called Ammon and Gurzil (2.111-12). Gurzil was a war deity of the ancient Berbers of North Africa fashioned in the form of a bull who is identified with the Egyptian Amun which the same as Ammon. This same idol was taken into battles by the Moabitess queen Dhiya (Kahina) into battles with the forces of Islam.

The accounts recall the pagan priest and Moorish chief Ierna who flees on horseback, carrying off a heavy statue of his god Gurzil. Far from saving him, the burdensome idol slows him down and he is caught and killed (4.1137-63). This is meant to prove that the faith of the Moors in the power of these gods and in the effectiveness of their rites imposes a lack of understanding that leads them to their ruin. The poem also gives a description of the Moors consulting the oracles at the sanctuary of Ammon.[26]

The historian will note in the above, the pre-wars between Christianity and these Moors, whom the Christians wrote in their own works as Moabites in conflict before the time of Prophet Mohammed. The Moslem will note what salvation Islam must have brought to a people who put their faith in stone images as opposed to the almighty unseen Allah. Under Islam, these Moors would go back and take Spain in 711 A.D. and most of Europe, thus proving the power of Allah was greater than the power of the Christian god and that power placed in stone idols that voodoo worshipers today still adore. This researcher however, wants to point out the fact that these Moors in North Africa, whose own traditions, from the Berber tribes, to the peoples of Yoruba land on the Southwest coasts of Africa, all have a tradition that has been passed down that they came from ancient Canaan and inhabited those parts of Africa. Arabia has in fact been identified with ancient Canaan, not just in the doctrine of the M.S.T of A., but by accredited scholars as well.[27]

In early research recorded in 16^th – 17^th century works, we get yet another connection linking Moab, the Ammonites, the Sabians, the Chaldeans, and the Canaanites, the sun or Ra and even the ancient high priest Melchizedek.

“…as the Baal-peor of the Moabites, the Baal, or Moloch, of the Ammonites; the title signifies lord with all people, who are those particularly that are said to have passed their seed thro’ fire, and meant thereby the sun, whose heat being , as it were, the life of all things, they accounted the heat of fire to be sacred; which must have been one of the first doctrine of the Sabians in Chaldea, by whom we have said, this error was first broached, and communicated, by degrees, to the nations round about. This appears by what we read of Abraham, who left his country on the other side of the Euphrates, for the idolatries of the land; and, to avoid them, came into the land of Canaan, where he found the sentiments and practices of men more conformable to religion, and the duties we owe to God; for Melchisedek was then alive in Canaan, and stiled the priest of the Most High God; and the people where were, for the most part, in a state of purity in matters of religion, as all the nations about must also have been…Nothing then is plainer, than that the religion of the Moabites, Ammonites, Midianites, Edomites, Amalekites, Cananites and Philistines, was only the old Sabian religion of the Chaldees.”[28] [bold, italicized and underlined emphasis mines]

We have conclusively shown in the latter that, Ammon is in fact related to the Moors, who are in fact the Moabites, biblically brothers, but historically the same people. And here, we locate the ancient people of Ar, resisting attacks and conversion of Christian forces based on a war that has been raging with the same groups for millennia, all based on someone writing “cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren” as shown cited in the Babylonian Talmud above, and Moab, being cursed “forever” all because they did not give the army of Israel bread and water (Deut. 23:3-4). This is the propaganda of the scriptures that must be corrected or else we are doomed to repeat the lies of men and teach this to our children.

So we conclude, Nar (naar) is in fact Moor, the illuminated ones (nwr) (owr), the Lords (mor in Aramaic lexicon 12399 as MoReA and 12400 MoReH[29]), the light of the world, those whose bare skin, their hides, are a badge, made to be a dark curse by some cruel god full of human emotions which in the light of aught, is undoubted written by the pernicious hands of some men seeking to make whole portions of humanity second class citizens in the nation under the rulership of God, Allah. Could you, who have read this, imagine what would have happened to us had not Islam come? When Islam became corrupted through ahadith and Uthman’s own version of the Koran (see the Hafsa codex) which is what we erroneously accept today as the first and only version of the Koran of Mohammed, could you imagine where we would be if Prophet Noble Drew Ali did come to us?

We will end this exposition with this. Earlier in this exposition, we cited "aleph vav resh" which produces the sound RUT. What is ironic about this is that, the name Ruth that we have for Ruth the Moabitess, is in fact pronounced Rut. While the two sequences in the Hebrew are different, both appear to produce the same word. The –th that we have today is a suffix from Germanic origins. The online etymological dictionary has for this suffix:

 th (2) 

suffix forming nouns of action, state, or quality from verbs or adjectives (e.g. depth, strength, truth), from Old English -ðu, -ð, from Proto-Germanic *-itho (cf. Old Norse -þ, Old High German -ida, Gothic -iþa), abstract noun suffix, from PIE *-ita (cf. Sanskrit -tati-; Greek -tet-; Latin -tati-, as in libertatem "liberty" from liber"free"). Sometimes in English reduced to -t, especially after -h- (e.g. height).

 Mirriam Webster’s online dictionary has for a definition of ruth that says:

ruth noun \ˈrüth\
Definition of RUTH1:  compassion for the misery of another
2:  sorrow for one's own faults :  remorse Examples of RUTH1.      <listening to your flippant comments about the homeless, I wonder if you have any ruth>
2.      Origin of RUTHMiddle English ruthe, from ruen to rueFirst Known Use: 13th century Related to RUTH Synonymsbigheartedness, charity, commiseration, compassion,feeling, good-heartedness, humanity, kindheartedness,kindliness, kindness, largeheartedness, mercy, pity, heart,softheartedness, sympathy, warmheartedness[30]

So in the Germanic to English speaking dialects, RUT becomes RUTH. An analysis of this can be found in several spoken languages the world over where Ruth is pronounced Rut in some form or variation and even in the English, with the t or –th at all.

• Hirut (Amharic)
• Rue (English)
• Rufa (Russian)
• Rút (Irish Gaelic)
• Rút (Czech)
• Rut (German), (Italian), (Maltese), (Spanish),(Swedish), (Afrikaans)
• Rūta (Lithuanian)
• Ruta (Polish)
• Rute (Portuguese)
• Ruut (Finnish and Estonian)

What is interesting to note here is that the double lion in Egypt is referred to as Ruti. Gerald Massey gives an excellent breakdown of this figure in his A Book of the Beginnings, Volume 2 (pg. 505). Naomi (who is directly connected to Ruth) has two sons who eventually perish from sickness. Prophet Noble Drew Ali informs us that the Prophet Jesus is from the tribe of Canaanites and Moabites and the inhabitants of Africa (Ch. 46. v. 2).

Ruth is the matriarchal grandmother of Prophet Jesus who was born in Judah, of Bethlehem, in the house of David. In the book of Ruth, Ruth is cited as saying Ruth:

 “Moreover, may your house be like the house of Perez whom Tamar bore to Judah…” (4:12)

Strong’s Concordance has:

6557 Perets peh'-rets the same as 6556; Perets, the name of two Israelites:--Perez, Pharez.

Again, the connection to Moab and Judah is made, although hidden in plain site by the biblical codex writers. This researcher also believes that the name Perez/Pharez is an allusion to the ancient Canaanite tribe called the Perizzites , one of the oldest tribes of ancient Canaan whose name is said to mean “villagers” or “dwellers in the open country” but we debunked that myth earlier because this is precisely what the Hebrew word ‘erets defines unless, ‘erets is actually perets as shown in Strong’s 6557 above where the (‘) represents as phoneme for the letter ‘P’. I will not touch on that at this point and will now conclude this treatise.

So it is settled, according to this researcher at least, that Nar does in fact mean Moor and that they are not two distinct designations, but are one and the same as has been convincingly constructed in the above. Nar is Moor. Also, this writer wanted to show the connection between the Moabites and the Israelites as to say that because there was a war between two fractions of our same people (Moors) that happened thousands of years ago, and scripted in the bible in a way where the Europeans have placed themselves in the place of the Israelites, and have been waging war against us ever since, that my brothers who identify as Hebrew Israelites, do not fall for that trap and look a little bit deeper into the scriptures and the history of our people and you will see that they are one and the same, as opposed to fighting us over someone elses misrepresentations of our history. The 5 Germanic tribes warred with each other incessantly for a time; do you say them dismissing and warring with each other today? We are one people; search your heart for the answers.

He was originally the god of Ethiopia. Amen-Ra was Cush, the son of Ham from whom the Cushites sprang. He was not one of the oldest deities of Egypt because he was preceeded by the gods of the ages of Noah (Saturn) and Ham. About the time of the rise of Thebes his name from his worldwide conquests must have been entered into the cycle of gods; for Africans deified their dead kings.
