Our Story
Author
Moved by a desire for a deeper understanding of the holy word, Moriyah began learning Hebrew and traveled to Israel and Ethiopia to further his study and research. His research led him to write a book explaining Noah’s curse on his grandson Canaan in 1996, Canaan’s Curse. Moriyah also wrote the first edition of, Ancient Israelites, Blacks or Whites?, in 1997. The updated versions of both of these books reflect more than twenty years of research on the topics of the ethnicity of the ancient Israelites. Moriyah has also published a number of articles aimed to help anyone in their journey to follow and live by the words of YHWH.
