| Mar 13, 2023 at 18:38 | comment | added | Deuteronomy | "The lost tribes, once identified by Eliyahu, would not need to convert since they have Eliyahu as the witness of their Jewishness." Elijah cannot through fiat, and in contravention of halakhah, deem someone Jewish whose mother is not Jewish. | |
| Mar 13, 2023 at 18:37 | comment | added | Deuteronomy | "will inform every Jew to which of the twelve tribes he belongs" According to this anonymous source, Elijah will clarify the tribal ancestry of Jews, not gentiles with paternal Israelite ancestry (which OP is asking about). | |
