Las Doce Tribus de Israel (Hebreo: ישראל, Yisrāʼēl) son las tribus que descienden de cada uno de los doce hijos del patriarca bíblico Jacob, que pasó a llamarse Israel por Dios in Genesis 32:28 .

Cada tribu tenía su propio símbolo, su propia piedra preciosa (representado en el pectoral de doce gemas usado por el Sumo Sacerdote), su propio lugar en el campamento, y su propio lugar en el orden de marcha.

Historia

Israel had a prophetic vision concerning the future condition of his sons in Plantilla:Bible ref. The Tribes of Israel were founded by the twelve sons of Jacob as the tribal fathers of the people.^[1] While the Hebrews were in captivity in Egypt they where grouped according to their father's houses (Plantilla:Bible ref). The entire encampment of the Israelites at Sinai was organized and to each tribe was given its place in which to march and in what place to camp.^[2] At this time, the Levites were set apart for the service of the tabernacle so that the tribe of Joseph was splited and counted as two tribes: the tribe of Manasseh and the tribe of Ephraim.^[3] When the Israelites entered the land of Canaan portions of the land where assigned to each of the twelve tribes.^[4] The twelve tribes remained united as a state, one people, until the death of Solomon, when they revolted.^[5] Under Rehoboam the United Kingdom of Israel was split into its Northern and Southern (Judah) halves.^[6] The Kingdom of Israel gathered the ten northern tribes and the Kingdom of Judah included the tribes of Judah, a portion of Benjamin and Simeon.^[6] After being taken captive by the Assyrians, the ten tribes of the Kingdom of Israel became known as the lost ten tribes.^[7] According to rabbinic literature, some of the lost ten tribes are beyond the legendary river Sambatyon.^[7] According to Pliny, the river runs rapidly for six days but its waters flow ceases in days of Shabbat and the Jews can not cross it because they are prevented from traveling on the Shabbat days.^[8] Some traditions attribute Yemenite Jews and black Jews of Ethiopia as belonging to the remnants of the lost ten tribes.^[9]
