Israel isn’t hard to understand. What part of my question is? Where & what is the Stick of Joseph? Are you saying the stick is Israel? The bible pertains mainly to the tribe of Judah. Where is the book pertaining to the rest of Israel? The Stick of Joseph?

Um, that would be the GATHERING of Israel, from all over the earth: verse 21 from the Ez. reference: ... I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.

Now compare with this from the stick of Jospeh: There are many many more, it's one of the central themes of the Book of Mormon, the gathering of God's chosen people, Israel, back to the lands and the true faith of their fathers.

1 Nephi 22:

11 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to make bare his arm in the eyes of all the nations, in bringing about his covenants and his gospel unto those who are of the house of Israel.

12 Wherefore, he will bring them again out of captivity, and they shall be gathered together to the lands of their inheritance; and they shall be brought out of obscurity and out of darkness; and they shall know that the Lord is their Savior and their Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel.
