The knowledge of who is of the northern tribes.

We have no way of positively knowing who they are.

That plays in heavily on the assertion you made WRT whether one is grafted in or “root.”

If you are trying to teach or get us to believe that the Celts, Angles, Saxons and Danes were descendants of the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel you can give that nonsense up right now. There is ample record that those tribes were not “lost” as people try to teach today.

James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

Do you suppose the Holy Spirit didn’t know what He was having James write? The Celts, Angles etc were pagan, heathen and barbarous. The 12 Tribes that James is writing to were attending synagogue.

James 2:2 For if there come unto your assembly (Greek: sunagógé) a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

They knew clearly where those 10 northern tribes were and were writing to them. They also acknowledged they were the sons of Abraham.

James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Paul knew where all the twelve tribes were and that they were serving God.

Acts 26:6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers: 7 unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come.

Even Josephus knew where and who they were.

"There are two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while until now there have been ten tribes beyond the Euphrates who number into the countless myriads whose number cannot be ascertained" (Antiquities XI. 133).

And God also knows and will separated 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes during the tribulation.

So please don’t preach any of the “lost tribe” nonsense to me. It’s perfectly clear that they were still 12 tribes, James, Paul, Josephus, and God all knew where and who they were. And you can bet the Jews know today.
