Hmmm…nice idea—I wonder. I’m not yet sure what I make of the various ways in which the 12 tribes can be listed and what it means when some are/aren’t included. Would like to do a full study on it at some point to try to get a more systematic view of the whole issue.
Magnificent, mate!
Very eye-opening, thank you! Goes well with the way the temple is described with human language (e.g. ribs, face) in 1 Kings 6-7.
I notice Dan is missing from the list, just as he is in Revelation. I assume that's because he's left the promised land at the end of Judges.

Please do!
Maybe. Feel free to beat me to it…
I’d second this request for a systematic treatment of the tribe listings!
Appears there is always another layer of meaning to excavate in scripture .
