The biblical figure Bukkiah match the name of a large clan of the Gor Banjara tribe. If you do not see the big picture, simply another very strange coincidence? The Bible explains that Bukkiah was a temple musician from the Israeli tribe of Levi serving in king Solomons Temple in Jerusalem: 1 Chronicles 25:4 As for Heman, from his sons: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shubael and Jerimoth; Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti-Ezer; Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir and Mahazioth. (…) Bukkiah is the great grand son of the prophet Samuel. When the Gor Banjara community acknowledge their biblical identity, this tribe will be able to preserve their Middle Eastern nomadic fingerprints. Unfortunately their unique dress code, patterns, symbols and rituals are fading away quickly in the 21st century.
