 That's where the ethnos developed, which is not quite the same thing. We don't even know if the tribe of Binyamin were native or newcomers at the dawn of their literature. Tradition says newcomers, archeology disagrees.

LOL re three npubs - if I muted you, I'd only have maxi-flamewars and photos of food for entertainment.

 That's why everyone complains that their feed is just maxi-flamewars and photos of food: they're not following me. 😂

 Well, I'm partially Jewish, like many people with Czech or south-Germanic ancestry, and it is clearly genetically traceable back to pre-Biblical Levantine. Maybe I'm even one of Mary's distant cousins, or something.

I feel like they also owe me 40 acres and a mule, along with the Czech Republic, the state of South Carolina, Great Britain, and Nigeria.

 My Jewish ancestry is from Silesia, but I'll happy file an additional claim to Ukraine and southern Russia - there's almost certainly Khazarian in my DNA. 

I don't want a mule, though. Can I have robots instead?
