Twelve Tribes

Hebrew scriptures

 * '''Joshua 18

[1] Then all the assembly of the Israelites congregated at Shi′loh, and they set up the tent of meeting there, as the land was now subdued before them. [2] But there were still seven tribes left of the Israelites whose inheritance had not been allotted. [3] So Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land that Jehovah the God of your forefathers has given you? [4]

[7] But the Levites have no share among you, because the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance; and Gad, Reu′ben, and the half tribe of Ma·nas′seh have already taken their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.”
