The majority of the Tribe of Ephraim belongs to the Z283 y-dna clans of R1a which entered Europe as three different groups. The clan of Beredi of Z280 y-dna are associated with the name Rus which may come from the Hebrew word Rosh for Head or Prince. Beredi is their original clan name which developed into Peradi, Parada, Parata, Barata, Paratan or Parthia and Parthian. They left Paradan where they had established a kingdom after their defeat by the Romans and then Sassanids in the area of Pakistan and Afghanistan and they moved north through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan into the area that would be named Russia after their leader the Rosh or Ruling Prince. Some legends refer to their leader as Perdun. These Z280 y-dna Ephraimites are known also as the Balto-Slavic peoples. The emblem of Rus is the Parthian Bear. They are also called the Red Slavs due to their complexion and dirty blonde hair.
The Royal House descended from King Vonones I of Parthia took the name of Vononi which became Von, Vend, Wend, Vanir etc (Sla-voni means people of Vonones) . They were lead by a legendary leader who some called Cechy or Czech as well as Velus, Volo or Vologases. They left Parada or Paratan to escape the Sassanids and moved into Azerbaijan (Albania) and then Kazakhstan and some of them became Khazar Rulers and they later entered Europe in the area known as Czechia as the Z284 y-dna clan of Ephraim. Some of them then moved north into Scandinavia and then to Scotland. The MacDonalds descend from this Jewish Khazar branch of the Tribe of Ephraim. They were known as the Black Slavs due to their darker complexion and hair.
Another group of Ephraimites are the so-called Proto-Slavs of Central and Western Europe of M458 y-dna. They were originally called the Erani clan as they left Europe from the Persian Empire where they had left their name Eran in the form Iran. They are most likely the first of the three clans to enter Europe after the fall of the Parthian Empire. They represent the Ephraimite Parthians who remained in the lands of Media (Mitanni) and Persia (Iran) during the time of the Parthian Empire whereas the Z280 and Z284 Parthians were those who had established the Indo-Parthian kingdom. The Indo-Parthians were those who came from the regions of the Indian Ocean and the secret Parthian capital City called Parthia or Ophir (now underwater in the Perth Canyon). The leader of the Erani Proto-Slavs was called Lech and is considered to be the founder of Poland and represented by the white eagle. They were known as the White Slavs due to their fair skin and blonde hair. The name Lech probably meant milk white, Cech meant black and Rus meant red in the original Parthian language of the Slavs.
The three brothers who led the three clans may have been the three sons of Vologases VI of Parthia - Vologases (Vachagan/ Cechy) the Black Cat, Oroes (Rus) the Red Bear and Artabanus (Lech) the White Eagle. However they may represent the three sons of Vologases V - Vologases VI (associated with Caucasian Albania), Artabanus V (associated with Media) and Oroes II (associated with Caucasian Iberia). These three brothers may have been known as the ones that gathered them into the areas of Iberia, Media and Albania rather than to Europe. However it may have been their sons or grandsons that then led their clans into Europe. It would seem that these three names were retain by the leaders of these three clans in modified form - Volo or Velus among the Czechs, Ban or Pan among the Poles and Croats and Rus or Rosh or Rhos among the Russians for their traditional ruling clan who were also known as Dvor (from the Hebrew word Dov for Bear).The so-called Varangians or Radbards took the name Rus when they replaced and intermarried with the reigning nobility clan of the Ruthenian peoples.
The original Rurik belonged to R1b L21 y-dna but the Rurikids mostly do not descend from him on a male line. They descend from Igor (who has been confused with Rurik's son Ingwar). Though a maternal line Rurikid, he belonged to N1c1 y-dna on his paternal lineage. Thus the R1b L21 and N1cl nobles of Russia are from the original Varangian group but the original Rus descended from Oroes of Parthia and Iberia or his brothers may be found among those Rurikids who are R1a1 such as the Volkonsky, Szuyski, Droutskoy-Sokolinsky (Drucki), Belosselsky-Belozersky and Bariatynsky and Obolensky. However due to the evolutionary molecular clocks used to evaluate y-dna those studying the results often come to false conclusions about the relatedness of those who share a major haplogroup. It would seem that the Obolensky, Volkonsky and Baryatinski are all descended from the clan of Cechy (Vologases) and not Oroes (Rus) and the Szuyski and Drucki belong to the clan of Oroes (Rus) as do the Belosselsky-Belozersky.While these are the Slavic clans they belong to that does not mean they descend from the original Parthian Royal House. It is interesting that both the Drucki and King Willem-Alexander of Holland descend from theCTS3402 branch of R1a Z280 y-dna. This is most likely the Parthian Royal House that the three brothers belong to. It is possible that R1a Y33 is the Royal House of Lech (Artabanus), R1a Y2613 is the Royal House of Rus (Oroes) and R1a YP237 is the Royal House of Cechy (Vologases).
The Volo of Albania (Satoy) with the Ban of Media (Arshak) and the Oroes of Iberia (Oroes Saumag) fled to the north into the Russian steppes before the advance of the Roman soldiers of the Emperor Julian in 363. The still pagan Slavs took this opportunity to get away from growing Sasanid control and Christian missionary pressure. They moved north and then west due to the Huns appearing in the east. The Iberians became known as the Sclavoni, the Albanians the Veneti and the Medians the Antes.
Besides these three clans of Ephraim of Parthian origin there are other clans descended from Ephraim such as the ones that were involved in Joseph's interstellar project (they were like all the Israelites of that time IJK y-dna), whose descendants are known as SRY1532.2* or YP4141 (R1a2). The group that settled in Canaan when the others were enslaved in Egypt descendants were of YP1272 y-dna. YP1051 are the descendants of an Ephraimite clan that did not take part in the Exodus but may have been present in the Egyptian colonies in Europe.
It is thus Russia and Poland and the other Slavic nations that are the Commonwealth of Nations mentioned in the Bible in regard to Jacob's prophecy for his grandson Ephraim. It would seem the birthright blessing passed to Ephraim's grandson Beredi and thus to the Russian people today who are the birthright nation. Biblical prophecy speaks of a day in the future in which the envy of Ephraim (Russia and the Slavic nations) against Judah (the Jews and the British) will come to an end and they will unite in unity.
In the future God through the Great Monarch may establish three Slavic Kingdoms in Europe according to some Catholic prophecies- the Kingdom of Russia for those of mainly R1a Z280 y-dna, the Kingdom of Poland or Lechia for those mainly of R1a Z284 y-dna and the Kingdom of Czechia or the Southern Slavs for those mainly of R1a M458. Will the Poles invite the Dutch Prince Claus-Casimir of the Netherlands who is a Royal descendant of Artabanus Lech of R1a Z280 Y33 y-dna to be their new king as King Casimir V? I have speculated that Prince Christian Valdemar could be the future Czar Vladimir III of Russia- is it possible that on his y-dna line that he belongs to R1a Z280 Y2613? Does Prince Peter of Serbia's family descend from Cechy of R1a Z280 YP237 and could he be the monarch of a Southern Slavic Kingdom as Peter III? Or possibly a younger member of his family.
The Tahanite clan of Ephraim were also known as the Sarmatians and the Thyssagetae (Teutons / Tahuni). The Massagetae were from the R1a- Z93 of the Tribe of Manasseh. The Issedones were the I1 clan of Asher. The Getae was the I1 clan of Gad and the Neuri the I2 clan of Naphtali. The Sacae were the R1b DF19 clans of Issachar. The Parithi (Beredi), Arii (Erani) and Bactri (Bekeri) were the R1b Z283 clans of Ephraim. Among the Bactri were found the R2a clans of Benjamin. Benjamin is also found among the R1a S2857 of the Dorians of R1a-L664. The Ephraimite Dorians were R1a S3479 y-dna and the Dorian Western Manassehites were R1a-S2894 y-dna.
The Sagaritii are the R1b-L238 Zebulonites. The Germanii, Mardi and Persae are the R1b-U152 y-dna Tribes of Reuben. The Pasargadae may have been also a Reubenite clan with the Royal House descending from Ephraim. The Jyrcae may have been a the clan of Jahleel of Zebulon (R1b-DF99). The Agathysri or Asrieli are the R1a- Z93 branch of Manasseh that became R1a Z2124 y-dna and the ancestors of the core of the Khazar population but with a Royal House from the Tribe of Ephraim. The Hyrcanii were a clan of the Levites (R1b and J2). And the Gandarii were from the House of Aaron (R1b and J1). The Armenians along with the Hyrcanii and Gandarii were those Judahites, Levites and Priests taken into Exile at the time of the Assyrian exiles from both R1b and J haplogroups. The Geloni are the Gileadites of the Tribe of Manasseh of R1a who had fair skin, blue-eyes and red hair.
These Israelite Tribes threw off Assyrian rule around 485 BC and Assyria fell about 15 years later in 470 BC (Alternative Chronology - 612 BC in Accepted Chronology of Academia). It was around this time with the rise of the Babylonians / Chatti that the IJ clans of Israel known as the Samartians became their journey into Europe and the R1b Israelites moved into their former lands.
