HELLO ALEX
FURTHER TO YOUR MAIL OF NOVEMBER 28, 2008 I WOULD LIKE TO
PROVIDE YOU WITH TWO ADDITIONAL MEANNINGS OR SOURCES TO
THE NAME LOYA IN BIBLE AND HEBREW TRADITION:
1. AS YOU SURELY KNOW WHEN THE HEBREWS CONQUERED KNAAN
AFTER ESCAPPING FROM EGYPT, THE LAND WAS DIVIDED BETWEEN
THE TRIBES.
EACH TRIBE GOT A TERITORY EXCEPT THE LEVI TRIBE WHO WAS
GRANTED THE RIGHT TO BUILD 44 REFUGE CITYES/SETELMENTS
WITHIN THE OTHER TRIBES TERITORY AS A REFUGE FOR WHO HAD
COMMITED UNINTENTIONALY CRIME, MURDER/KILL, ETC….
THIS CITYS WERE CALLED LOYA CITYS.
2. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED THE AREA IN THE
HEBREW TEMPLE [ CALLED BEIT HAMIKDASH - IN HEREW ] WHERE
THE LEVI TRIBE SERVED, WAS CALLED LOYA AREA.
TILL THIS DAY THERE ARE A REMAINS OF ANCIENT SETELMENT IN
LAKISH DISTRICT NEAR THE CITY OF KIRIAT GAT IN ISRAEL,
NAMED HIRBET LOYA IN ARABIC IT MEANS RUINS OF LOYA .
I HOPE YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH AND THIS
INFO. WILL BE USEFULL TO YOU .
PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER INFO. ON OUR
ROOTS , SOURCE ETC…..
MOTI LOYA
