The 12 Tribes Of Israel (And Their Histories)
The households of 12 brothers would be enslaved, freed by Moses, and led into the land of Canaan promised to their ancestor Abraham. These are the 12 tribes of Israel.
House of Joseph
The first born of Jacob’s favorite wife Rachel, Joseph was highly favored and received a double inheritance.
Manasseh
One of the tribes of Joseph, Manasseh was granted the land east and west of the Jordan River south of the Sea of Galilee.
Ephraim
Ephraim was the younger of Joseph’s two sons, but received the blessing of inheritance from Joseph. It was in their land south of Manasseh that major religious centers were built, and despite little land, it was Ephraim that would become the dominant force in the north.
