12 or 13 Tribes of Israel? | B.R.I.C.K. #29

Welcome to B.R.I.C.K.s: Biblical Revelations in Christ’s Kingdom!

In B.R.I.C.K. #29 “Were There 12 or 13 Tribes of Israel?”, we explore the often perplexing question of whether Israel consisted of 12 or 13 tribes. We dive into the unique structure of Jacob’s descendants, clarifying how Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, received his double portion of inheritance while still representing the tribe of Joseph. This lesson covers key scriptural references from Deuteronomy, 1 Chronicles, Ezekiel, and Joshua, illustrating how Israel’s divisions were understood in biblical context, including insights on the “half-tribe” of Manasseh. We also touch on how this understanding plays into later prophetic references to the tribes.

As always, Yeshuans, agree or disagree, seek and follow YAHAVAH, not me!
