Subject: why are the twelve tribes of isreal diff |
Bible Note: Makarios, Wouldn't another reason for the differences be that after Mt Sinai, the Levites were no longer counted among Israel as a "tribe" because they had been placed apart as to God? Therefore, aside from the prophecy of double portion going to Joseph, i.e. Manasseh and Ephraim, these two were counted as 2 tribes then brought back together as one single tribe to make room for the tribe of Joseph (or is Ephraim counted among Joseph's tribe? Never thought of this before?), and also the Levites were restored and counted among Israel. |
