Hello G sus: If you look throughout the OT (Old Testament) that there were several instances of tribe shuffling to come up with 12 tribes. If you didn't want to include Levi in the accounting then you include the two sons of Josephs but not Joseph. If you wanted to include Levi then instead of counting the two sons of Joseph you count Joseph himself. In this case I don't know why Dan is not included but the idea is that the twelve tribes Israel are involved and that the entire nation of Israel is represented by the twelve tribes. |
