The Hebrew word OSR (ayin shin resh) is today pronounced for similar to
how Aesir is pronounced. It sounds something like Aye-sir
, spoken
quickly, and with the emphasis on the first syllable. OSR means "ten" in
Hebrew. We know the northern Ten Tribes of Israel were scattered around the
world. Could the Viking legends of their descent from the Aesir be a
recollection of their flight out of the Assyrian empire long ago? Could their
very name carry the meaning of "ten tribes"? If true, then a brief study of
Viking religion will show the depths of depravity that the Israelites sank
into. This is why we were sent into Exile.
This also fits in with the Viking tales of the Vanir, who fought with the Aesir. The Vanir lived around lake Van in Turkey. The Israelites had to pass through the Vanir as they migrated West from Assyria. Lake Van was the historical location of Urartu, literally translated as "the highlands" in old Akkadian.
