Bible Question (short): Differences in the listing of the Tribes |
Question (full): Shalom y'all, This is a question about "end times" and reconciling some differences in the 12 Tribes. In Gen. 48 we have a listing of the 12 sons of Jacob with Joseph effectively being replaced by his 2 sons, this gives us 13 tribes, so Levi is dropped as an inheritor of a portion of Canaan becoming the ransom for the firstborn dedicated to God, that gives us 12 again. I know, this is not news. But in Rev. 7 where we have the 12 Tribes where the 144,000 sealed come from we no longer see Ephraim and Dan but we do see Joseph and Levi. I don't have a lot of trouble figuring out the return of Levi, and not a whole lot of trouble with the disappearance of Ephraim - but I am wondering about the missing Dan and why Joseph was brought back in (because Manasseh is still among the names). Any help out there? Still learning Cheri |
