9th Zerah: Azariah of the Zerahites Tribal Affiliations – True Diversity



1:1   Azariah is reported to be a patriarch of the Scottish people.  I talk more about that in the following note/blog: Semi-Legendary Migrations to Ireland and Scotland, Especially Those By the Milesian Israelites.

1:2  Azariah is a Zerahite patriarch, which has certain implications for his tribal associations.  This patriarch Azariah is thought to be a reason for the success of the Scots as a nation that has produced numerous innovators, meaning that the laws for Cohenim are deeply associable with physical understanding of the universe even beyond the actions that a healer might engage in, where the Israelite caste qualifies to be a healer.  For example, the inventor of the television was Scottish.

1:3  That Azariah is associable with many tribes indicates a great deal of effort on the part of Azariah to master Torah.  These various designations probably indicate that Azariah appears different to some people.  Sometimes such a person might be observing the laws of nobles, sometimes he might be observing priestly laws, sometimes he might appear as a wicked Edomite, and so on.

Azariah’s Further Immersion in the Tribe of Levi (Note: Reverse from Jewish Typical Ordering [oldest first])
First Chronicles Chapter 6
(21) the son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of Zephaniah; (22) the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah; (23) the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel.
Perhaps the reverse order came from associating Azariah with either Christianity or idolatry.  For example, it is taught that Edomites where idolaters, but it is thought that while Zerahites might become idolaters they flee from their idolatrous ways rather than engage in sin!  Keep in mind the tractate Avodah Zerah of the Talmud means strange worship, such as the subject of idolatry.  I know that personally, I believe myself to be a Zerahite, and that I committed idolatry.  However, I hated the idol and fled from it, never worshiping it.  With Gd’s help, and my constant study and worship of Gd, may I continually earn Gd’s blessings.
