Bible Question:
Rev.7:4-8 lists the tribes of the children of Israal. These are the 144,000 who will receive the Seal of God. Why is the tribe of Dan not listed? In Numbers, Moses is asked to do a census and lists the original tribes. The Levites weres not counted in the census because they were appointed over the tabernacle. Dan was included in this census. Among those listed in Revelation, is the tribe of Joseph (which I take to include of the Ephraim). All tribes are accounted for except Dan. Can anyone give insight on this? |
Bible Answer: Rev. 7:6 "Manasseh. One of the two Joseph tribes (Ephraim and Manasseh), yet mentioned separately, probably to make up 12 tribes since Dan is omitted. This omission is due perhaps to Dan's early connection with idolatry (Judg 18:30)" (p. 1857, Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999). . . . If it is true that, "Dan is not listed because the purpose of the chapter is not to set forth the twelve tribes of Israel as set forth in the OT," then why pick on Dan? If this is the reason, why not omit any old tribe at random? Why does it have to be Dan? |
