Bible Question (short): Tribes of Manassah and Ephraim the same? |
Question (full): Of the twelve tribes of Israel, is the tribe of Ephraim the other half of the half tribe of Manassah? In Chronicles 7:14, the tribe of Manassah picks up at Manassah's descendent Asriel. In Chronicles 5:24, one of the heads of the family of Manassah is named Azriel. Are they the same person? If so, then wouldn't that make the two tribes both descending from the line of Joseph (there is not a tribe named after Joseph)? Thank you for all of your help. |
