The lost tribe of Gad


Gad
Gad had 7 sons:
1st son: Ziphion
2nd son: Haggi
3rd son: Shuni
4th son: Ezbon
5th son: Eri
6th son: Arodi
7th son: Areli
Gen 46:16


The Erites, Arodites, and Arelites
Eri and his wife Ishamal, along with his 2 younger brothers Areli and Arodi, journeyed down into Africa crossing the Nile River into Sudan (Old Ethiopia) to Chad and eventually Lokojia which is now the present day Nigeria by way of River Benue and then through the River Niger where they eventually landed in Aguleri in what is know today as Nigeria around 1305 BCE (Igbo History by Victor M.C. Eyisi pg. 2-3, 49)

Thus, the Erites, Arodites, and Arelites Num 26:15-18 are the so called Igbos of Nigeria, part of the lost tribe of Gad.
