It's your verse. Why did you choose the verse about Nazarites if they don't mean much?

Well said.

Israelites are not jews. Jews are from Judah, not Israel.

I see. Well thank you for giving me things to look at! I think that many sides are guilty of cherry picking the bible. I recommend listening to the song "lifting the veil" by K-Rino. I would be curious of what you think of it, it discusses the many variations of the bible. I think you will agree with many parts (and disagree with others) I have trouble determining which scriptures are edited, to be trusted. Truly, it all comes from an ancient oral history that to some extent predates egypt/babylon/etc. etc. We act like gilgamesh for example is an older story than Noah, just because we have an older written document of it, but many of these afro-asiatic languages like Hebrew weren't put into writing for quite a long time. It's probable these stories are much older. I tend towards a spiritual examination from a buddhist perspective (not hindu which is paganism, christians tend to mix this up, buddhism is monotheist. I compare judaism to christianity as hinduism is to buddhism) and I find it 99% compatible with the spiritual teachings of Jesus, who I also follow. However, the buddhist perspective I don't think does justice to the spiritual war we find ourselves in that finds itself in the material. Thus, I commend the Jesus stance of establishing a "kingdom of God" and rejecting secular or any other forms of control where "God" is the "God-vernment" which is traditional to many societies from China to Egypt. I believe Jesus was speaking out against the law of Man being the "rule" here, rather than serving God.

Have a blessed day brother

Yes, everyone is guilty of cherry picking the bible. I only replied initially to make you reconsider that the israelites were blacks which most likely wasn't the case (from my understanding).
The bible was initially written in greek and much later translated into hebrew.
An example being "Adam" made from the 4 corners of the earth, A d a m being the first letters in east, west, north, south in Greek.
Ἀνατολὴ (the East), Δύσις (the West), Ἄρκτος (the North), and Μεσημβρία (the South)

Blessed day to you too
