NASB | Joshua 19:40 ¶ The seventh lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Joshua 19:40 ¶ The seventh lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families. |
Bible Question: This is my point exactly! Why pick on Dan? If we are not to take it literally , then why list any tribe at all? There has to be some significance in this omission. |
Bible Answer: I've got in NKJV Nelson Study Bible, "Dan and Ephraim are omitted perhaps because of their gross idolatry during the period of the judges, demonstrated by the incident in Dan (see Judg. 18)." JFB Rev 7:5,"another akin for the omission of Dan, is, its having been the first to lapse into idolatry (#Jud 18:1-31); for which same reason the name Ephraim, also (compare #Jud 17:1-3 Ho 4:17), is omitted, and Joseph substituted. Also, it had been now for long almost extinct." Also, I take these verses literally to be Jewish people; they do not, in my interpretation, represent a sympol of "completeness" or a symbol of the church. I believe the Church (caps because we will be HOLY then) will have been raptured before this point, and this seal protects the 144000 Jews, who will save many other Jews from damnation. GOD bless! |
