mixture of history and tradition, these writings give us much intelligence
respecting the aborigines of Britain. Eminent scholars support the
authenticity of these Triads.
However, we need to move to Ireland for much of Britain’s
sacred history. Ireland preserved ethnic legends due to an absence of
foreign invasions over many centuries, the continuity of tribal government
and the existence of a special class of sages, the Druids, whose duty it was
to maintain genealogies and keep alive the deeds of their ancestors. Their
ethnic legends are wonderfully colorful and broadly consistent with
western religion and archeology.
The Book of Invasions, or Lebar Gabhala tells of the arrival of the
five principal peoples: Partholan, Nemed, the Firbolgs, the Tuatha-De-
Danaan, perhaps the lost tribe of Dan, and the Scots or Milesians.
In Genesis, Jacob foretold what would befall each of the tribes.
Of Dan, he said: 602
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves
together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last
days … Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that
biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. I have
waited for thy salvation, O Lord.
The Tribe of Dan became lost to the Torah, along with that of
Dan’s female twin, Dinah. 603 Scholars characterize them as lost because
the Book of Chronicles omits to record their descendants. 604
Scholars normally mean the ten lost tribes when they refer to ten
tribes that the Assyrians dissipated in 721-718BCE. Judah was never lost.
The other tribe that was never lost was Dan. After Genesis, the Torah
simply excluded Dan.
The tribe of Dan originally entered the promised land of Israel in
the time of Joshua. They occupied a strip of coast country on the
Mediterranean, west of Jerusalem. From the beginning of their
settlement, they seemed to have played no major part in the internal
affairs of the new nation, but preferred to engage in shipping and
international commerce.
The Bible says they were principally seamen: 605
Dan abode in ships.
Deborah complained that the people of Dan preferred to remain
with their ships, rather than taking to the field of battle in order to assist
the other Israelites in the defeat of their enemies.
