1 | 13 Tribes or 12 Tribes? | Genesis | Norrie | 106433 | ||
Maybe where the confusion is at is that Jacob has 12 sons but when it came time to divide the land, the names of Joseph's two sons are named instead of him. Levi didn't get land, they were the priests. | ||||||
2 | 13 Tribes or 12 Tribes? | Genesis | JCrichton | 106464 | ||
Correct! Since the tribe of Levi were separated to serve the Lord with the religious duties (priesthood, altar, etc.) Joseph's sons were incorporated in the naming of the tribes so that there would still be twelve tribes (representing the sons of Jacob. My question is, what happened to the tribe of Dan? Joshua 19:40-48 tells us of the aportion of land they received; while Revelation 7:1-5 (5-8) omits Dan as one of the twelve tribes of Israel. I must have missed something about the tribe of Dan, since it was excluded as one of the tribes at the same time that Levi was included as part of the twelve tribes! Thanks for your comments. God Bless! |
