Bible Question: If the Samaritan woman wasnt a Jew, how could Jacob be her ancestor? (John 4:12) |
Bible Answer: God day to you, Lynnette, welcome to the SBF, Let me show you in the Bible, what Doc said. According to 2 Kings 17:6, "The king of Assyria captured Samaria (Northern Kingdom) and deported the Israelites to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River and in the towns of the Medes." I have read He left some behind ... then brought others back, so the people were not "pure" Israelites, tho like the Samaritan woman point to Jacob as their ancestor. ... verse 24 says "The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Kuthah, Avva, Hamath and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites." ... in verse 27 priests were sent for relgious order. The Samaritans also claim the tribe of Levi. IMHO ... Assyria probably knew the South Kingdom (Judah) would not embrace the mixed group. John 4:9 says, "For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans." This could have started right away. Searcher |
