Bible Question: The tribe of Dan is not mentioned in this verse. What happened to them? And in what book did they exit out of the chosen tribes? Thanks! |
Bible Answer: Welcome to the forum, Granny. It is usually Levi that is omitted from the list of tribes. When ever they are listed, there are always 12. Here Manasseh is listed, but not his brother Ephraim; both are sons of Joseph. That would be another question. There are various answers, including Dan was one of the first tribes to embrace idolatry (Jud 18:30). It is interesting to note Dan is imcluded in the millennial distribution of land (Eze 48:2). I don't think they exited the tribal list, expect for here. I hope I answered your question, Searcher |
