Somali Jews in Somalia (mini documentary)

[Maakhri2024]

The original Somali story about them never mentioned anything whatsoever to do with Jews; in fact, their leader was called Bucur Bucayr or Maxamed Hanif, probably some dude synchronising Islam and waaqism in the Middle Ages, does not sound very Jewish, does it?

Bucur Bucayr or Maxamed xaniif ( Maḥamed ḥaniif ) .

Why was he referred to as Maḥamed Xaniif?

What does Xaniif signify?

 

[Riftvalley]

Do you know the true etymology of the word ( y-b-r : Yibir)?

Seems like you know so why don’t you tell us.

 

[Guure⁸]

Bucur Bucayr is Balcaam ina Becoor ( Balaam son of Beor ) as mentioned in the Torah.

This is not a Somali story, but a biblical story.
Balaam son of Beor ( Balcaam ina Becoor ) is a biblical name, a man who deviated from religion and practiced witchcraft and sorcery.
The early Church fathers often viewed Balaam son of Beor( Balcaam ina Becoor ) as a magician and soothsayer .

Numbers 22:5 sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor, who was at Pethor .

Numbers 22:5 Oo wargeeyayaal buu u diray Balcaam ina Becoor oo joogay Fetoor .
5 فَأرْسَلَ بَالَاقُ رُسُلًا إلَى بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ فِي فَتُورَ



Surah Al-A'raf, verse 175 :
And recite to them [O Muhammad] the story of the man to whom We gave Our signs and who turned away from them; then ultimately Satan caught up with him and he was led astray.
سورة الأعراف، الآية 175
وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا فَانسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ (175)

حدثنا ابن وكيع قال: حدثنا عمران بن عيينة, عن حصين, عن عمران بن الحارث, عن ابن عباس قال:
هو بلعم بن باعر

حدثني الحارث قال: حدثنا عبد العزيز قال: حدثنا سفيان, عن الأعمش, عن أبي الضحى, عن مسروق, عن ابن مسعود, في قوله: (واتل عليهم نبأ الذي آتيناه آياتنا) إلى (فكان من الغاوين)،
هو بلعم بن أبَر

حدثني محمد بن عمرو قال: حدثنا أبو عاصم, عن عيسى, عن ابن أبي نجيح, عن مجاهد: (فانسلخ منها) قال:
بلعام بن باعر, من بني إسرائيل

Now we claiming banu isreal

و ل د ( w - l - d ) in Arabic means to beget / gave birth .
י־ל־ד ( y-l-d ) in Hebrew means to beget / gave birth .
dhalay (dh-l-y ) in Somali means to beget / gave birth .
dhal + y = dhalay ( dh-l-y ) ↔ yadhal ( y -dh- l ) .
y ↔ w .
y ↔ k / g .

so :
( y-b-r : yibir) ↔ ( w-b-r : wabar) ↔ ( k-b-r : kabīr ) .
ك - ب -ر ↔ و - ب -ر ↔ ي - ب -ر
yawar / yiwir / yibir / yabar / wabar / kabīr : means chief or great person .

or could means the one who slaughter .
in Somali biree → bireey means : to slaughter .
bireey ( b-r-y ) ↔ yibiree ( y -b- r ) .
