Who are the “Lost Tribes of Israel”?
One of the great mysteries of world history is the subject of the “Lost Tribes of Israel.” The disappearance from recorded history of roughly 80 percent of the Jewish population of ancient Israel – in 722 BC – has captivated biblical scholars, historians, rabbis and Christians for centuries.
What happened, where did they go – and is there anyone left in the world who can trace their genealogy to these people who seem to have vanished?
How did the “Lost Tribes of Israel” become lost?
After King David’s son Solomon died, the Israelites divided their kingdom in two. The north became Israel and the south, Judah. The Northern Kingdom comprised 10 tribes: Reuben, Simeon, Manasseh, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim, Dan, Asher, Naphtali and Gad. The tribes of Judah and Benjamin lived to the south in Judah.
Who are the “Lost Tribes of Israel”?
As Jewish people came to reside throughout the world, certain clans have maintained their Jewish identity outside of and relatively hidden from the mainstream Jewish population. The “Lost Tribes of Israel” are the physical descendants of Israel (Jacob) who, through expulsion, captivity or migration have become disassociated from the generally recognized worldwide Jewish community.
How did the “Lost Tribes of Israel” get lost?
In 722 BC, Assyria conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Members of 10 tribes fled, were taken captive or deported to other lands. One of Assyria’s tactics was to remove their prisoners of war from their homelands and bring in other captives to live there. As they conquered an area, they relocated the people to other regions of the empire to speed their assimilation and quash any spark of national identity or hope of return.
In approximately 586 BC, Babylon conquered Judah, destroying the Temple and making prisoners of the southern tribes. Some eventually returned to rebuild Jerusalem, but more than 500 years later, in 70 AD, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple and, again, Jewish people dispersed into the world at large.
Where did the “Lost Tribes of Israel” go?
Captives from the Ten Tribes were taken north, south, and east. Some who fled captivity went south into Egypt while others followed trade routes eastward into the Orient and Africa, some continuing their migration across the millennia.
As they assimilated into the cultures and regions to which they migrated, the “Lost Tribes of Israel” often encountered persecution. Some Jewish people were forced to convert, at least outwardly, to other religions. Others continued their faith and Jewish customs in secret, generation after generation. Hidden from the world at large, they were considered lost until relatively recently in world history. Populations from the “Lost Tribes” have been discovered and verified in surprising places all around the world, including China, Ethiopia, India, Zimbabwe, Somaliland, Afghanistan, Nigeria and other locations.

Abraham's descendants and the descendants of ‘Imrān, above the nations” (3:33).[3] “We saved the Israelites from the degrading scourge, from Pharaoh, who was a tyrant and a transgressor, and chose them knowingly (akhtarnāhum) above the nations. We showed them miracles which tested them beyond all doubt” (44:30-32). “We gave the Book to the Israelites and exalted them (faḍalnāhum) above the nations.” (45:16) “O Children of Israel: remember my favor (ni‘matī) which I have bestowed upon you and that I exalted you (faḍaltukum) above the nations” (2:122). In each of these verses, the Qur’ān refers to Israel as chosen. The same message may be learned by noting that the Israelites were given the Book as an inheritance wa-awrathnā Banī Isra’īla ’l-Kitāb (40:53); and that “the Book was bestowed as inheritance upon those whom God has chosen” (alladhīna ’stafaynā min ‘ibādinā) (33:32). The Qur’ān also honors the Israelites with peace, Guidance and safety: “peace upon those who have followed the Guidance” and “we have saved you from your enemy”—in context, both referring to the Israelites (20:47, 84).

Isaaqs are automatically disqualified from being one of the lost tribes of Israel. We never endured slavery or any other of the curses in Deuteronomy.
