Answer 7

Joseph (Jacob's eleventh son, of Rachel) Joseph was the 11th son of Jacob and the first son of Jacob's favorite wife, Rachel, and he was the biblical hero in the drama of Genesis 37-50. Joseph's favored status and his coat of many colors, a gift from his father, caused his brothers to be jealous, and they staged his accidental "death." Joseph was actually taken to Egypt, where his ability to interpret dreams brought him into favor with the pharaoh. Joseph became a high Egyptian official. When, during a famine, his unsuspecting brothers sought grain in Egypt, the forgiving Joseph--whom his brothers did not at first recognize--arranged a family reunion. Thus the whole family of Jacob moved to Egypt and lived there until the Exodus.

Judah (Deut. 33:7; Judges 1:3; 2Sam. 2:10; 19:11; 1Kings 12:21; Hebrews 7:14; Rev. 5:5; 1Chr. 2:3). (Jacob's fourth son, of Leah)

Issachar (1Chr. 7:1-5; Deut. 33:18); (Jacob's fifth son, of Leah)

Benjamin (1Chr. 7:6-12; 1Chr. 8:1-32). (Jacob's twelfth son, of Rachel) Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob and the name of the smallest of Israel's twelve tribes. Because Jacob's favorite wife, Rachel, died after Benjamin's birth, the boy was especially dear to his father and to his only full brother, Joseph. Thus Benjamin figures prominently in the Joseph narrative (Gen. 37-50). The name "Benjamin" may mean "son of the south" and refer to the Benjamite tribe's location. King Saul, Jeremiah, and Saint Paul were Benjamites.

Reubenites (1Chr. 5:1) Reuben (Jacob's first born son, of Leah), firstborn of the Twelve.

Levites (Gen. 29:34; 35:23; 49:5; Exod. 6:16; 32:26; Numbers 1:50; 3:6; 3:39; 8:18; 8:24; 18:3; 26:57; 35:2; Deut. 12:19; 1Chr 23:27; more). Levi (Jacob's third son, of Leah). In Jos. 14:3, Moses had distributed the inheritance among the Twelve tribes, but with Joseph now being represented by the two tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim, and with the Levites not receiving an inheritance.

Naphtali (Numbers 2:29; Deut. 33:23; Jos. 19:32; Judges 1:33; 4:6; 6:35; 2Kings 15:29; 1Chr. 7:13). (Jacob's sixth son, of Bilhah)

Manasseh (1Chr. 7:14-19); (Actually from Joseph's eldest son, but later recognized as a separate tribe in Gen. 48:5. Manasseh and Ephraim counted instead of Joseph and Levi.). Moses treated the tribe of Manasseh as two separate halves when he allocated the inheritance as specified by God.

Ephraim (Numbers 1:33; Deut. 33:17; Jos. 16:5; Judges 1:22; 8:1; 12:1; 2Sam. 2:9; 1Chr. 7:20-29; 2Chr. 15:9; 28:7; Isa. 11:13). (Actually from Joseph' second son, but later recognized as a separate tribe in Gen. 48:5. Manasseh and Ephraim counted instead of Joseph and Levi.).

Gadites (Gen. 46:16); Gad (Jacob's seventh son, of Zilpah)

Asher (1Chr. 7:30-40); (Jacob's eighth son, of Zilpah)

Simeon (Numbers 1:22; 25:14; 26:14; Jos. 19:1; Judges 1:3; 1Chr. 4:24); (Jacob's second son, of Leah)

Dan (Numbers 1:39; Jos 19:48; Judges 18:30; Gen. 46:23). (Jacob's ninth son, of Bilhah). Seldom mentioned in the Bible.

Zebulon or Zebulun (Judges 1:30; 4:6; 6:35; 1Chr. 12:33; 2Chr. 30:11; Matt. 4:15; Numbers 1:9; 2:7; Deut. 33:18). (Jacob's tenth son, of Leah). Seldom specifically mentioned in the Bible.
