THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF THE 12 TRIBES

 
 
   
 

 

If you translate the meaning of the names of the twelve tribes you will find the story of the Gospel. 

 

Name                                                               Definition                                                                         

 

Reuben                                                            Behold a son, Look on Me

 

Simeon                                                              Hear Him, Hear Me

 

Levi                                                                  (and) Be Joined With me

 

Judah                                                               Give Him Praise, Now will I praise the Lord

 

Dan                                                                  Judge

 

Naphtali                                                           (His) Strife

 

Gad                                                                  (and His) Fortune

 

Asher                                                               Happy and Blessed

 

Issachar                                                            (am I for) He Brings (my) Reward

 

Zebulun                                                            Dwelling with Us

 

Joseph                                                              He shall Add

 

Benjamin                                                          (For He is) The Son of His Right Hand

 

So when we read these definitions, it will say "Behold a Son, Look on Me, Hear Him, Hear Me and be Joined with Me.  Give Him Praise.  How will I praise the Lord?  Judge His strife and His Fortune.  Happy and Blessed am I for He brings my reward dwelling with us. He shall Add, for He is the Son of His Right hand.
