Bible Question:
Revelation 7:4-8 lists 12 tribes. The list includes Mannaseh and Joseph? But Ephraim, Joseph's second born, the one blessed by Jacob with a greater blessing than Mannaseh is not shown, and then Jacob's son Dan is not listed either. Why was Mannaseh listed in place of Dan? |
Bible Answer: from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, (NASB Revelation 7:6) 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). |
