- Gaodhal (Gaedel Gael Gadelas) Glas of Egypt cured by Moses; eponym of Gaelic (Irish Celts) Born 1571 B.C. He was bitten by a serpent, while he and his father were at the Hebrew camp and was immediately cured by the touch of the "Rod of Moses." Moses prophesied that no venomous creature should ever live where the posterity of Gaodhal should settle and that they should be the Patrons of all learning. On the advice of Moses, they seized the Egyptian's ships; from them, they beheld the Egyptians overthrown in the Red Sea. His descendants were called after him, Gaelhal (Gael). ---------------------- Irish Pedigrees or the Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation by John O'Hart - Gaodhal (or Gathelus), the son of Niul, and ancestor of Clan-na-Gael, that is, "the children or descendants of Gaodhal". In his youth this Gaodhal was stung in the neck by a serpent, and was immediately brought to Moses, who, laying his rod upon the wounded place, instantly cured him; whence followed the word "Glas" to be added to his named, as Gaodhal Glas (glas: Irish, green; Lat. glaucus; Gr. glaukos), on account of the green scar which the word signifies, and which, during his life, remained on his neck after the wound was healed. And Gaodhal obtained a further blessing, namely-that no venomous beast can live any time where his posterity should inhabit; which is verified in Creta or Candia, Gothia or Getulia, Ireland, etc. The Irish chroniclers affirm that from this time Gaodhal and his posterity did paint the figures of Beasts, Birds, etc., on their banners and shields, to distinguish their tribes and septs, in imitation of the Israelites; and that a "Thunderbolt" was the cognisance in their chief standard for many generations after this Gaodhal. --------------------- Ancient Mileisus Ancestry The name Gaodhal is a compond word meaning "a lover of learning". Gaodhal in his youth was bitten in the neck by a serpent. Upon which he was taken to Moses, who laying his rod upon the wounded place, instantly cured him. After that time the word "glas" was added to his name, Gaodhal Glas (signifying the green scar that remained on his neck after the wound was healed). A further blessing received by Gaodhal was -- "that no venomous beast can live any time where his posterity should inhabit; which is verified in Creta or Candia, Gothia or Getulia, Ireland, etc." A "Thunderbolt: was added to the standard of the chief for many generations. This dates the beginning of Gaelic Heraldry. The descendants of Gaodhal Glas were known as the Gadelians. -------------------------- Gaodhal Glas (aka "Gael) was the namesake of the Gaels or Gaelic race. As a child he was said to have been cured of a deadly serpent bite by Moses (of biblical fame). The "Isle of Destiny" was revealed to the family as seen in a vision by Moses. This would place this generation in Egypt at the time of the Exodus of the Jews/Israelites.
