The 12 tribes of Israel were the descendants of the 12 sons of Jacob (also called Israel). Each son became the ancestor of a tribe, and their names are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph (whose two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, each formed separate tribes), and Benjamin. The tribes formed the foundation of the nation of Israel, with their territories established after the Exodus from Egypt and the conquest of the Promised Land. The tribes are mentioned throughout the Bible, with key passages in Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

The Twelve Tribes of Israel
(Verse 1)
From the land of promise, through the desert sands,
Twelve brothers came together, with God's mighty hand.
Born to Jacob, a man of faith,
Twelve tribes to carry God's holy grace.

Reuben, the first, with a heart so bold,
Simeon and Levi, warriors of old.
Judah, the king, the lion's might,
Issachar and Zebulun, walking in the light.

(Chorus)
The Twelve Tribes of Israel, called by His name,
In every heart, a legacy, a flame.
Through trials and blessings, they rise and stand,
God's chosen people, in the promised land.

(Verse 2)
Dan, the judge, with justice in his soul,
Naphtali, the swift, with a heart made whole.
Gad and Asher, warriors of peace,
Ephraim and Manasseh, blessings that never cease.

Benjamin, the youngest, in his faith so true,
Each tribe a story, each tribe a view.
Together they journey, together they pray,
The Twelve Tribes of Israel, in God's way.

(Chorus)
The Twelve Tribes of Israel, called by His name,
In every heart, a legacy, a flame.
Through trials and blessings, they rise and stand,
God's chosen people, in the promised land.

(Bridge)
From the wilderness to the kingdom's rise,
Through the prophets' word and the nation's cries.
A covenant eternal, a promise made,
In every generation, His love will never fade.

(Verse 3)
From Abraham's seed, through Jacob's line,
The Twelve Tribes of Israel, forever shine.
Through the storms, through the fire,
They’re called to follow, to reach higher.

With each step forward, God's will they seek,
For the Twelve Tribes are strong, though they’re meek.
Through every trial, they’ll never fall,
For Israel's tribes are chosen by God’s call.

(Chorus)
The Twelve Tribes of Israel, called by His name,
In every heart, a legacy, a flame.
Through trials and blessings, they rise and stand,
God's chosen people, in the promised land.

(Outro)
The Twelve Tribes, they shine so bright,
A testament of faith, in God's holy light.
Through history's pages, they march on strong,
The Twelve Tribes of Israel, forever belong.
