Bartie Musa Commentary: The book “Hebrewisms of West Africa” written by an Edomite in the 1800s (published in 1930) is one of the books which truly opened my eyes to the true biblical identity of so-called West Africans (which I am one of them) and the Americas. This book was basically an Edomite explorer going around West Africa and noticing “hey wait a minute. Why do these people have the customs of “jews” and all these biblical customs and rites” and documenting it all across West Africa to Jamaica.
This was a key piece in my awakening before I even began listening to the brothers, it put together the puzzle pieces and helped me personally (I’m sure other brothers have other resources and books) which helped them come to the same conclusion and realize who we truly are as Judah. One thing I noticed if you want truth you have to go to the older books, it’s not surprise this book was written in the 1800s before the founding of the 1948 crew and all their nonsense. Anyways let’s get straight into the analysis and learn more about the Hebrewisms of West Africa and how we came to the conclusion that the so-called blacks taken from the West coast of Africa to the Americas today are the Southern Kingdom of Judah.

Tracing the Real Jews: From Jerusalem to West Africa to Babylon
📜 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32
📜 “Thou shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee…” – Jeremiah 17:4
📜 “Ye shall be sold unto your enemies… by the way whereof I spake unto thee, thou shalt see it no more again.” – Deuteronomy 28:68
🌍 WHY IT MATTERS: THE REAL IDENTITY OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
The truth is not lost — it was stolen, buried under centuries of conquest, forced conversion, colonialism, and deception. The journey of the Israelites didn’t stop in Jerusalem. After the Roman sieges, the true descendants of Jacob fled into Africa. They settled among indigenous populations, preserved laws, customs, and holy days — even while persecuted, scattered, and eventually enslaved.
This article will trace that unbroken prophetic line:
👉🏽 From ancient Israel under siege by Rome…
👉🏽 Through West African migration and Hebrew survival…
👉🏽 To Babylon the Great (America) via the transatlantic slave trade.
We are not Gentiles grafted in — we are the root that was severed, regathered, and is now awakening. This is the truth Edomite Christianity never wanted you to know.
🏛️ 1. THE FLIGHT FROM JERUSALEM: PROPHECY FULFILLED
In 70 AD, General Titus of Rome laid siege to Jerusalem. Over one million Israelites perished; the rest fled.
🔁 This moment was not just historical — it was prophetic.
📖 Luke 21:24 – “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations…”
Thousands upon thousands of Israelites — mostly from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi — fled southward into the continent of Africa, traveling through Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. Over the centuries, they settled across West Africa — Yoruba, Igbo, Ashanti, Fulani, Mandé, and others.
These weren’t just Africans. These were Israelites in exile, carrying Torah customs and covenant culture with them.
🧬 2. EVIDENCE OF HEBREW CULTURE IN WEST AFRICA
Author Joseph J. Williams in Hebrewisms of West Africa provides overwhelming evidence of Israelite customs alive and thriving in pre-colonial African societies. These weren’t vague resemblances — these were direct parallels to Mosaic law.
🔍 Examples of Hebrew Practices in West African Tribes:
| 🕎 Custom | 📚 Practice in West Africa | ✡️ Torah Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Circumcision on 8th day | Yoruba, Ashanti, Igbo tribes | Genesis 17:12 |
| Purification after childbirth | Ashanti and Dahomey women isolated after birth | Leviticus 12 |
| Separation of women during menses | Fulani and Yoruba enforced “taboo days” | Leviticus 15:19 |
| Taboos on unclean animals | Many tribes avoided pork, shellfish, scavengers | Leviticus 11 |
| Sabbatical customs | Rest days every 7 days/months in ancient Yoruba | Exodus 20:8 |
| Levirate marriage | Widows marrying brother-in-law to preserve seed | Deuteronomy 25:5 |
| Blowing trumpets for holy days | Practiced in Yoruba festivals | Numbers 10:10 |
These customs were practiced long before European contact, meaning they could not have been copied from Christianity or Islam. They were inherited — passed down from Jacob’s seed.
🚢 3. FROM WEST AFRICA TO BABYLON: THE SLAVE TRADE
📖 Deuteronomy 28:68 – “And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships…”
This was not metaphor. It was the final phase of prophetic judgment. After centuries of living in West Africa, the Israelites were hunted, captured, and sold in the transatlantic slave trade.
Key Points:
- Slave ports like Elmina, Ouidah, and Cape Coast targeted communities with Hebraic customs.
- Tribes like the Igbo are still called “the Jews of Africa” to this day.
- British and Portuguese documents from the 1600s reference “Jews” being sold from the coasts of Benin and Dahomey.
- Many slaves brought to America carried Hebrew names, songs of deliverance, and oral traditions of being a “chosen people.”
The “negroes” in America are not African in origin — they are Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, sold into Babylon as punishment and prophecy.
🏴 4. AMERICA: THE LAND OF SPIRITUAL BONDAGE
📖 Revelation 11:8 – “…the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.”
America is spiritual Egypt. It is Babylon the Great. It is Rome reincarnated. And here in this land, the Israelites — now renamed African-Americans, Haitians, and West Indians — were stripped of everything:
- 📛 Their identity
- 🕊️ Their heritage
- 📜 Their laws
- 🕯️ Their language
- 👑 Their kingdom
But Yahawah does not forget His people.
📖 Baruch 2:30 – “For I knew that they would not hear me… But in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.”
That remembrance is now. That awakening is now.
📖 5. THE SCRIPTURES ALIGN WITH HISTORY
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a historical and prophetic confirmation.
Every major aspect of Israel’s downfall and regathering is outlined in scripture — and fulfilled by the journey from Jerusalem → West Africa → America.
| 🧠 Prophecy | 📍 Fulfillment |
|---|---|
| Dispersed among nations – Deut. 4:27 | Roman conquest + African exile |
| Sold into ships – Deut. 28:68 | Transatlantic slave trade |
| Forget heritage – Jer. 17:4 | Chattel slavery, forced religion |
| Called by bywords – Deut. 28:37 | “Negro,” “Black,” “Colored” |
| Remember in captivity – Baruch 2:30 | Awakening in Babylon |
| Regathered by faith – Hosea 1:10 | The remnant rising now |
The Bible is a book of prophecy and bloodline. Not universal religion. The people of the Book are waking up — and it starts with historical breadcrumbs like Hebrewisms of West Africa.
🌎 6. NOT JUST JUDAH — BUT ALL ISRAEL
While this article centers on Judah, Benjamin, and Levi’s exile into West Africa and eventual shipment to America and the Caribbean, we must also acknowledge:
- The Northern Kingdom (Ephraim and the 9.5 tribes) were scattered far earlier, fulfilling 2 Esdras 13:40–45 — fleeing Assyrian captivity and migrating to a “new land,” known as Arsareth (the Americas).
- The so-called Latinos and Native tribes — Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Seminoles, Quechua, and more — are also Israelites, awakening to their role.
Yahawashi’s kingdom is for all twelve tribes — and the awakening is happening simultaneously, in fulfillment of Ezekiel 37: the two sticks becoming one.
🧱 7. WHY THIS PROVES WHO WE ARE
Hebrewisms of West Africa opened the floodgates. It revealed that:
- The customs match the commandments.
- The timelines match the curses.
- The locations match the migrations.
- The identity matches the prophecy.
No other people on Earth — not the so-called Jews in Israel, not the Gentile Christians, not the secular historians — fit every marker in the Torah’s covenant curses except the descendants of the transatlantic slave trade.
We didn’t convert. We were scattered.
We didn’t stumble into religion. We were cut off from our heritage.
We aren’t adopting culture. We are returning to the covenant.
🔥 8. THE HEBREW FLAME REIGNITES IN BABYLON
The remnant of Judah is rising. From Harlem street corners to Lagos neighborhoods, from Kingston hills to Atlanta apartments — the elect are waking up.
📖 Isaiah 44:5 – “One shall say, I am the Lord’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob…”
The return is not to a “religion” — but to identity, law, and nationhood. We are not Africans. We are Israelites. And books like Hebrewisms of West Africa are torches in the darkness, guiding us back to the light.
✊🏾 CONCLUSION: THE BOOK THAT AWAKENED MANY
Many of us first woke up when the doctrine was taught by the prophets — but before that, the historical puzzle pieces came from works like this.
Hebrewisms of West Africa didn’t just show that we were in Africa.
It showed we were Israel in exile.
And it gave millions their first glimpse into the truth of who we are.
📜 “And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation…” – Exodus 19:6
📜 “For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish…” – Isaiah 60:12
The Kingdom is coming. But the awakening starts with remembrance.
Let the words of the prophets, the truth of the scriptures, and the testimony of our ancestors confirm it:
🗣️ We are the Israelites.
🛡️ We are the covenant people.
🔥 And our redemption draws near.
🕊️ ALL PRAISES TO YAHAWAH BAHASHAM YAHAWASHI
Shalawam to the hopeful elect.
The truth is ours. The crown is coming.
Bartie Musa Commentary: The truth of who the true biblical Israelites are, who Judah is (so-called blacks) is overwhelming. Hebrewisms of West Africa is just another puzzle piece that helped us get a picture on our heritage and reclaim the true and correct understanding of the bible in these last days. Do not let any of these heathens convince you that the holy bible is a “white man’s book” it is not. It was written for us, by us back when we were in the land. And it was specifically designed for our awakening in these last days. Anyways LORD willing this was edifying and interesting, all praises to Yahawah bahasham Yahawashi for restoring unto us our truth in these last days. Shalawam to all the hopeful elect brothers & sisters out there.
