1 | What Happened To The Tribe Of Dan? | Rev 7:5 | bowler | 206334 | ||
I would like to know what happened to the tribe of Dan? Revelation chapter 7:5-8, lists the tribes as those from among whom the 144,000 were to be choosen as the following although I have reversed the order because of the order elswhere in the Bible - 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levi 4)Judah 5)Zebulun 6)Issachar 7)Gad 8)Asher 9)Naphtali 10)Joseph 11)Benjamin Numbers 1:20-47 lists the tribes as a list of tribes as warriors, excluding Levites as warriors, but mentioning them as - 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levites 4)Judah 5)Zebulun 6)Issachar 7)Dan 8)Gad 9)Asher 10)Naphtali 11)Joseph 12)Benjamin 13)Manasseh Genesis 49:3-27 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levi 4)Judah 5)Zebulan 6)Isaachar 7)Dan 8)Gad 9)Asher 10)Naphtali 11)Joseph 12)Benjamin So by the time we get to Revelation, what has happened to the tribe of Dan? blessings abound, bowler |

2 | What Happened To The Tribe Of Dan? | Rev 7:5 | Cody Mac | 206340 | ||
Ok let it be noted that there is speculation about this. For a time Ephraim and Manasseh are considered under Joseph, while clans they are not individual. So there are always 12 and never 13. By Revelation Dan is believed by some to have slipped into being idolators. So that to keep it 12 Manasseh is allowed to take their place as a tribe and to be one of the 12 mentioned in Revelation. Kings 18:30-31 And the children of Dan set up the graven image and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land./And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. Perhaps there are two seperate images or perhaps they tried to credit Micah with their inheritance instead of giving credit to God. Who knows. |

Cody Mac Thank you very much. At some point the tribe of Manasseh and the tribe of Gad were half tribes. I tried to trace the history of Dan while waiting for an answer and found that it simply dissapears out of scripture sometime after the building of the Milo at Jerusalem, scripture has the tribe of Dan going up into the hills and then they are not heard of again. Perhaps your explanation shows best what happened there, they rebelled against God somewhere along the line. What has me pulling my mustache in thought is that in Revelation there are not 12 tribes but 11 mentioned, and that in Numbers there not 12 but 13 mentioned. I try not to enter into speculation though it is far safer to find a definite scriptural answer. blessings abound, bowler |

bowler, I know you must have by now looked at these, but if you haven't #19286-7 gives a good account of Dan. My own thoughts are, going along with what this other post says, Dan disappeared. Manasses is apparently counted for Dan. Revelation 7:4-8 144,000 12 tribes of Israel 4) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5) Of the tribe of (JUDA) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (REUBEN) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (GAD) were sealed twelve thousand. 6 ) Of the tribe of (ASER) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (NEPHTHALI) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (MANASSES) were sealed twelve thousand. 7) Of the tribe of (Simeon) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (LEVI) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (ISSACHAR) were sealed twelve thousand. 8) Of the tribe of (ZABULON) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (JOSEPH) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of (BENJAMIN) were sealed twelve thousand In Him Imm |

Immanuelsown I am trying to still learn about and get used to how this site works and I keep stumbling on what people are saying! So thanks for pointing me to a link, or do you call them branches? I do believe Doc was most helpful in this manner as well, I had to get into the right search box first and then everything poped up. Now I must say, that was a most engaging post you gave me there, very thorough, very thorough indeed. I will keep stuyding to find out who subsituted for whom and whom was a half tribe of whom and why Revelation only lists 11 tribes out of a possible 13. blessings abound, bowler |
