Bible Question:
I would like to know what happened to the tribe of Dan? Revelation chapter 7:5-8, lists the tribes as those from among whom the 144,000 were to be choosen as the following although I have reversed the order because of the order elswhere in the Bible - 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levi 4)Judah 5)Zebulun 6)Issachar 7)Gad 8)Asher 9)Naphtali 10)Joseph 11)Benjamin Numbers 1:20-47 lists the tribes as a list of tribes as warriors, excluding Levites as warriors, but mentioning them as - 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levites 4)Judah 5)Zebulun 6)Issachar 7)Dan 8)Gad 9)Asher 10)Naphtali 11)Joseph 12)Benjamin 13)Manasseh Genesis 49:3-27 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levi 4)Judah 5)Zebulan 6)Isaachar 7)Dan 8)Gad 9)Asher 10)Naphtali 11)Joseph 12)Benjamin So by the time we get to Revelation, what has happened to the tribe of Dan? blessings abound, bowler |
Bible Answer: Ok let it be noted that there is speculation about this. For a time Ephraim and Manasseh are considered under Joseph, while clans they are not individual. So there are always 12 and never 13. By Revelation Dan is believed by some to have slipped into being idolators. So that to keep it 12 Manasseh is allowed to take their place as a tribe and to be one of the 12 mentioned in Revelation. Kings 18:30-31 And the children of Dan set up the graven image and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land./And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. Perhaps there are two seperate images or perhaps they tried to credit Micah with their inheritance instead of giving credit to God. Who knows. |
