When we talk about our God being the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” they are known as the Patriarchs of the faith. We had three men with one calling to make a great nation for the glory of God. The 12 tribes were chosen first because they were from the line of Abraham, and secondly because they were the start of the nation of Israel. Bible Study shares, “The meaning of 12, which is considered a perfect number, is that it symbolizes God's power and authority, as well as serving as a perfect governmental foundation. It can also symbolize completeness of the nation of Israel as a whole.” If you are planning to visit Israel and the lands of the Bible, you might find this information useful.

During this time, Joseph was residing in Egypt and worked in the Pharaoh's government as a governor over all Egypt. Due to his favor with the Pharaoh, his relatives were given a territory to settle. The Israelites multiplied into a great nation and the Pharaoh, who did not know of Joseph, subjected them to slavery as he feared they would overpower the Egyptians because of their growth rate. In the Wilderness As I mentioned earlier, the tribe of Joseph in Numbers 1 is represented by Ephraim and Manasseh. Does this mean that Joseph’s tribe was split in two, representing 13 tribes instead of 12? No these two tribes represented the two sons born to Joseph while he was in Egypt. However, as you read in Genesis 48, Jacob in essence adopted them as his own and they were given the same blessing as Jacob’s other sons. Here is what Jacob said: To Naphtali, Jacob said that he was a "doe set free that utters beautiful words". The Hebrew word for "doe" comes from a root word, meaning "leader, mighty man, noble man", a word that express strength and prominence. To be a mighty man of God you have to be faithful and strong in your obedience, and this is what this blessing alludes to. The man Simeon (with his brother Levi) slaughtered the men of an entire city to avenge his sister ( Genesis 34:25–31). The tribe’s portion of land was within the midst of Judah’s territory ( Joshua 19:1); however, Simeon did not grow as rapidly as Judah and seems to have dispersed across multiple territories ( 1 Chronicles 4:38–43; 2 Chronicles 15:8–9). This is consistent with Jacob’s prophecy concerning Simeon and his brother Levi: “I will disperse them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.” 4. Levi.
