“But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,”
King James Version (KJV)
(Why is 2 Esdras shown with the King James Bible?)

I have had numerous conversations with Hebrew Israelites who would like me to believe that the 10 tribes cross the entire ocean to America. I must say after studying the text there is nothing in there that would suggest that they travelled 11,000 nautical miles to America.
I asked them to consider reading 2nd Chron 30 where King Hezekiah sent letters to all of Judah and Israel and invited them to come up to Jerusalem to keep passover.
After reading the chapter it is obvious to men that at least 6 of the tribes are in the region that the bible describes as "escaping the hands of the Assyrians"
v18 says "a multitude of people" from the 10 tribes got involved in the passover.
King Hezekiah began to reign over Judah in the thid year of King Hoshea's reign over Israel.
So apart from the fact that the 10 tribes crossed the Euphrates I would like to READ proof of them crossing the ocean into the Americas

Some have said the further country where never mankind dwelt is america & the indians are the israelites that came here. Only problem with that the oldest human remains found in america dating 7000 to 12,000 years old have been Caucasian. No indian remains have ever been dated that old.
