Bible Question: who/what are the twelve tribes? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Teemac and welcoe to the forum, The 12 tribes of Israel originated with the 10 of the 11 sons of Jacob. Joseph, his 11th son was given a double portion. Because of this the last 2 members of the tribes were his two sons Ephraim and Manassas. Each son was given a different prophetic message from Jacob (see Gen 49). Each person became the head of a tribe that was given a different allotment of land when they reached the promised land except for Levi who became head of the priests and were not given any land. prayon |
