The word MASSA is not in the Bible. Therefore, the word MASSA is not a Hebrew word. (12563 hits)

The word MASSA means master. It is very poor English pronunciation, but of course the slaves were uneducated.

But, to say the word MASSA is a Hebrew word to make the false claim that Black Americans descendants of plantation slaves are Bible Hebrew people is a bold-face lie.

Harry:

Before you make a statement about words in the Bible you must conduct thorough research/ etymology of the word "MASSA" because English is a young-in language and derives meanings from Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew.

So I suggest that you RESEARCH before you make your statements.

I told you this many times and your hard-headness is making you look foolish.

Redeem yourself for your SAKE!

AS Steve has mentioned the word "massa" has it origins in a Ancient Language called HEBREW.

It is a root-verb (nasa'I) and is identical to the nouns (massa') meaning a load or burden as Steven mentioned previously, it also means (massa') utterance or oracle ("and so it comes to pass that King Lemuel of proverbs 31:1 is either an "ORACLE" or he is a KING OF MASSA.

And when the Bible was converted from Ancient Hebrew to English and written through translation, both the verbs (nsh') were still indistinguishable from the verb (nsi').

The so-called Phoenician (named by Greeks) or sometimes referred to as Moors created the English language and their genetic lineage goes back to Abraham.

And the gentleman King James of Scotland whom was brown-skinned and had lineage traced back to Abraham, spoke five languages fluently hired the most impressive scholars and many versed in Chaldee Hebrew compose the King James version of the Bible.

So if you make references to the BIBLE it is essential that you know the Ancient Hebrew or at least the modern versions to understand the origin of words.

Time to get it together and stop being emotional !!

IT's time for you to talk about construction and other topics that bring value other than talking about/bashing religions.

This channel has some very boring people and it is hard to believe that you guys were ever married ???????

Change your subject matters NOW !!!!!!!!!

HARRY,

YOUR WORDS: The word MASSA is not in the Bible. Therefore, the word MASSA is not a Hebrew word.
The word Massa or Massah is in the Bible 6 times. Here’s the "PROOF:”

Genesis 25:14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

Exodus 17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?

Deuteronomy 6:16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

Deuteronomy 9:22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath.

Deuteronomy 33:8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

1 Chronicles 1:30 Mishma, and Dumah, Massa, Hadad, and Tema,

HARRY, you don’t have to take my word that proofs that Massa or Massah is in The Holy Bible, you can go look up those Books of The Holy Bible and find those scriptures and see the truth for yourself.

Hello to All,

Let me explain this to you technical knucklehead! I think we are on two difference pages that can not be merged into one page. You all must come to my page and therefore I have the advantage and benefit to start first!

The plantation slaves used this word MASSA and I am using the same word as my ancestors used it and **** the Hebrew, Greek and any one else. Where I am coming from is when plantation slavery begins in the 15th century and therefore **** the Hebrew or Greeks.

This word MASSA to my ancestors meant your life belongs to this human White American man. **** what the White Steve said that MASSA means burden. The meaning of MASSA to my ancestors were more than just a FU*KING burden; it was our LIFE the MASSA had in his hands to do with what ever he wanted and the slaves couldn’t do anything about it was much more than just a FU*KING burden.

Now, I said that the word MASSA in not in the Bible and it isn’t that would make the case that Black Americans are Biblical Hebrew people.

My focus is on Black Americans descendants of plantation slaves because I am their first genuine prophet and can protect them from other dumb-ass Naggers try to say that my Black American people are Hebrew people when Black Americans are a NEW race of people and how they saw things and used words is where everything starts for me you ass-holes!

I am not wrong about anything I say!!

HARRY,

Look at you, your blog topic is The word MASSA is not in the Bible. Therefore, the word MASSA is not a Hebrew word.

HARRY, Is the word MASSA in The Holy Bible or not? That is the question?

Monday, January 12th 2015 at 3:40PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.

Mr. Deacon,

You presented the concept that Black Americans are Biblical Hebrew people and that the word MASSA they brought with them coming from Africa some how proves that Black American descendants of plantation slaves are really Biblical Hebrew people.

The word MASSA in the Bible is spelled the same, but is not the same word as used by the slaves since the meanings are not the same and the languages are not the same.

You are damn stupid!
The systemic breeding process is what makes Black Americans a NEW race of people. Black Americans are a unique and special because making a NEW race of people by another people has never in the history of Creation has been done. So, unique and special is this situation that it requires God to step in on behalf of the NEWLY made slave people.

Plantation slavery is why Black Americans can not be associated or mistaken to be Hebrew, Egyptian and African people. The only person that would know this divine information would be Black America’s first genuine prophet. This divine information is my second revelation.

If you had the Spirit of God in you, you would know me!

HARRY,

Are you admitting that massa is in The Holy Bible?

Monday, January 12th 2015 at 8:41PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.

Mr. Deacon,

You are a man with a hard stupid fu*king head. I’ll repeat what I said in my previous comment; I said this, “The word MASSA in the Bible is spelled the same, but is not the same word as used by the slaves since the meanings are not the same and the languages are not the same.”

Idiot, does it look to you as though I am admitting that Massa is in the Bible? I said they are not the same words ass-hole! The word Massa used by the plantation slaves is English while the Massa use by the Hebrew is a Hebrew word meaning two different things.

We will look at the word from the perspective of the slaves and not from the Hebrew side.

I am not going to argue this out with you because you can’t analytically think and rationally reason!

@Harry

Since you referred to me as technical ass-hole let me give something else to "chewing on" biting from your own phrases, excuse me (lol)...

Since you claim that all so-called black americans were breed by the so-called whiteman that you heap praise frequently on this channel.

Get up on this?

Your theory is found wanton because the first indentured servants in this country arrived from England and Europe approximately 1617.

Many were brown-skinned Moor descendants and Caucasians as well.

In fact Jacob (Yaiqab) had to labor for the right to marry his distant cousins Leah and Rachel for eight years and then had the blessing of his uncle Laban to marry his two daughters Leah & Rachel.

That is indentured servitude !

The first colony in America was "James Fort aka Jamestown" in May 24, 1607.

Guess who gave the order, a brown skinned King James of Scotland (June 19, 1566- March 1625) and his son ruled after his death Charles I (March 27, 1625-1649).....

Legal slavery started after 1650 after massive slave revolts in the Virginia colonies.

Ohh. your precious so-called whiteman was breed by the brown skinned Moors throughout Europe as well beginning around 600 AD- 1400 AD.

All of this is historical facts and please correct me if I'm wrong because this history lesson came from me learning the information from the libraries of Cambridge University in England during my travels.

You can swear and get frustrated all you want. FACTS ARE FACTS!

Do your research better next time !

Mr. Saint,

You are not on the same page as I am on! I am talking about plantation slavery and not indentured servitude. I am talking about the millions of plantation slaves Pres. Abraham Lincoln freed from plantation slavery, do you understand!

@Harry

Read and listen to my latest post.

Your "DADDY" the so-called white man in AMERICA could not create a new race because he was breed first by the brown skinned Moors throughout Europe!

Mr. Saint,

You are not on the same page that I am on!

I don’t give a **** whether the Caucasian people were first breed into existence by the brown skinned Moors. Where Caucasian people came from has nothing to do with his sperms in his testicles and his DNA deposited into the first wave of African slaves that he bred himself with and every slave generation thereafter making a NEW race of people known today as Black Americans!

I am talking about the moment and period when the old White slave masters came in contact with the African slaves and then moving forward to today! Do you understand that?

Even if the Caucasian people were bred into existence by the brown skinned Moors they were still a fertile race that breed with the African slaves that brought about a NEW race of people into existence known today as Black Americans descendants of plantation slaves that Pres. Abraham Lincoln freed when plantation slavery was outlawed.

The focus is not on whom the Caucasian people are but who Black Americans are!

YOUR WORDS: The word MASSA is not in the Bible. Therefore, the word MASSA is not a Hebrew word.

NOW, that I have shown you that the words MASSA or MASSAH is found 6 times in The Holy Bible and where to find those words and what these words was referring to. According to your very simple statement of yours, then this word you claim that is not in The Holy Bible is a Hebrew word. "IS A HEBREW WORD."

YOUR WORDS: The word MASSA is not in the Bible. Therefore, the word MASSA is not a Hebrew word, is in a HEBREW word. When your vague, unclear, nebulous self, wrote this blog, you was not talking about slaves or the way you use the term "MASSA," you clearly pointed out and made references to The Holy Bible and clearly stated that the word "MASSA" is not in THE HOLY BIBLE.

I don’t care about how the word MASSA or MASSAH is used by you or the slaves that is not the point. The point is, you are incorrect and just plain wrong when you made this statement: “The word MASSA is not in the Bible. Therefore, the word MASSA is not a Hebrew word.”

Now that you have been caught in another LIE again, just look at you back peddling to include unrelated material to cover up your LIES with more of your unrelated BS. This got to be the best laugh I had this morning, Thank You HARRY.

Don’t you ever tell nobody that the word MASSA or MASSAH is not in The Holy Bible again because you was wrong when you made this statement and you are wrong now! The word MASSA or MASSHA is in THE HOLY BIBLE 6 times KNUCKLEHEAD.
Tuesday, January 13th 2015 at 10:40AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.

Harry watley, first off Massah is a Hebrew word from the Hebrew strongs #4853 meaning Oppressor or Burden ! So you are wrong from the jump ! Second of all, the first slaves had YAH in their name and their origin was listed as eboo or heebo both which are loose mispronunciations of the word HEBREW ! You can confirm this by going to slavevoyage.com and putting “ Yah “ under names and you will see it was in almost all of their names and they all were listed as Hebrew and that’s just ONE slave ledger which there are thousands more out there lol. That is also why my people the GEECHI GULLAH people created the song QUM BA YAH which means ARISE=QUM abBA=FATHER YAH=GOD! Second, there was a place called the kingdom of Judah and the people there were said to be Judaic and were remnants of the lost tribes of Israel that migrated there in 70AD When Jerusalem was captured. It was conquered by the dahome and then turned into the LARGEST slave port in Africa and was later renamed Benin. West Africa was majority Hebrew to the point it was called Golfo De Judeos or Gulf of the Jews on the first map created of Africa ! Both sides of the Niger River delta were Hebrew strong holds as well ! If slaves were not taken from west Africa then they were taken from the Congo ! In 1550 Leo Africanus stated in his book that from the The land of Abassia to THE CONGO it was known as THE LAND OF THE HEBREWS by cartographers of the time. So right there we see both areas slaves were taken were FULL OF HEBREWS AND THE SLAVES THAT CAME HAD YAH IN THEIR NAME AND ALSO IN THE FIRST CHURCH BUILT BY SLAVES THEY ETCHED HEBREW WRITING INTO THE PEWS !!!! Now back to your quick history lesson about your people by somebody 40 years younger than you lol. Even Henry Kissinger in a White House memo to Nixon( that you can get from the library of Congress as well as a gov. Website) said that the igbos are the wandering Jews of west Africa !!!! Also heebo and eebo meant Igbo and Igbo meant Hebrew and I can point you to a book from the 1800s proving this ! Mind you it says we would be sent to Egypt on slave ships for a second time to a land we had never been to for a WORLDWIDE SLAVERY 400 years and we would be discontinued from thine heritage and forget who we were and nobody could buy us out of slavery , and our wives would be raped in front of us and so on and so forth and we would wake up in our captivity and remember we were Israel. That sounds NOTHING like the Jewish people we know today and everything like the blacks in America lol. What’s on the dollar ? A pyramid ! Who forgot where we came from and who we came from ? Blacks! Who is the only race of people to go into worldwide slavery and what’s the only world wide slavery in history ???? BLACKS AND TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE !!!! How long was it from when the first slaves were taken from the coast of Africa up until the end of Jim Crow ??? 400 years !!! When did the first Hebrew Israelites appear ???? Around THE END OF JIM CROW !!!!! Which is so far showing you that prophecy was SPOT ON !!!! On top of that edom/Rome was supposed to be behind it and white Americans can be genetically traced right back to Rome !!! I can go on and on but clearly African Americans are the lost Hebrew people and history proves that as well as biblical prophecy. You over there saying delusional **** about being a prophet but if it was true you would know this !!! Even Zephaniah says the dispersed Hebrews would be beyond the rivers of kush and Ethiopia !!!!!! That’s central Africa !!! That’s exactly where africanus said the land of the Hebrews was !!! Lol so yeah nothing but FACTS for ya !!!!
