The Twelve Tribes of Israel and the Death of Jacob (Discussion Questions)Categories: Family
Read Genesis 48-50 The end of chapter 48 and chapter 49 establish the Twelve Tribes of Israel - 10 of Israel's children and 2 of Joseph's children. Joseph himself is not established as the head of a tribe. Though Levi is not given a tribe, his progeny become the Levites. Chapter 50 tells of the death of Jacob, how the Egyptians mourned, and how Pharaoh allowed Joseph (and his brethren) to take Israel back to his home and bury him in Canaan.
