Any one having paid critical attention to the early history of this country, can scarcely remain in doubt as regards the existence of an intimate acquaintance between the Jews and the old Britons or Welch. An eminent Cornish scholar of last century, who devoted a great deal of his time to prove the affinity between the Hebrew and Welch languages, observes,¹ “It would be difficult to adduce a single article or form of construction in the Hebrew grammar, but the same is to be found in Welch, and that there are many whole sentences in both languages exactly the same in the very words.” From two columns of quotations, which he adduces, I select the following for your satisfaction, and shall translate them according to the Welch:―― ¹ See Monthly Magazine, 1796, vol. ii., p. 543. בני אלים Beni Elyv, Reared ones of power.――Ps. xxix. 1. מחיה מתים Mychweii Methion, Thou dost quicken those that have failed. בלע אדני את כל נאות יעקב By-llwng adon-ydh holl neuodh Iago, The Lord has swallowed up all the tabernacles of Jacob.――Lam. ii. 2. דרך ביתה יצעד Dyrac buth-hi ai-i-sengyd, The avenue of her dwelling he would go to tread. ――Prov. vii. 8. דרכי שאול ביתה יורדות אל חדרי מות Dyracei sâl buth-hi ea-warededh ill cadeiriau mêth. That leads to vileness is her abode, going the descent to the seat of failing.――Prov. vii. 27. ברוך אתה יהוה אלהינו מלך העולם Barwch wytti iâ el-eini maelog y-hwylma, Seat of increase art thou, Supreme, our intellectual power, possessor of the space of revolution.¹ ¹ The first sentence of almost all Jewish thanksgivings to this very day. מגיני על אלהים Meigen-i hwyl elyv. My protection is from the intelligences.――Ps. vii. 11. מיהוא זה מלך הכבוד יהוה צבאות חוא מלך הכביד סלה Py yw-o sy maeloc y-cavad I-A-YW-YO savwyod yw-o maeloc y-cavad. Sela. Who is he that is possessor of attainments? I THAT AM HIM of hosts, he is the possessor of attainment――BEHOLD.――Ps. xxiv. 10.¹
