Marilyn Dayen's comment on 2014-05-07 06:19:06:

The Tirathites, Shimeathites, Suchathites are not, not descended of the tribes of Levi, or any other tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel. The Kenites are descendants of Cain. They are a non Hebrew group of people who infiltrated into the 12 tribes, primarily the tribe of Levi, even just before the fall of Judah, and Jerusalem. Jer. 35 6 19, esp. vs.11, which states they came to Jerusalem because of their fear of Nebuchadnezzar.
