Tiglath Pileser III received tributes from Tayma, as well as from other Arabian oases. The Assyrians recorded how a coalition headed by Samsi, queen of the Arabs, was defeated. The coalition was made up of Massaa, the city of Tayma, the tribes of Saba, Hajappa, Badana, Hatti, and Idiba’il, which lay far to the west. Once defeated, these tribes had to send tribute of gold, silver, camels, and spices of all kinds. dwelling place.

Also, look at Isaiah 11:11-12 for more insight. “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.” In the book of Joshua 13, God commanded Joshua to divide the land among the tribes. The Lord laid out the land to be possessed and told him to divide the land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes and half-tribe Manasseh. Verse 14 spells out that the tribe of Levi received no inheritance. “The sacrifices of Israel made by fire are their inheritance” ( Joshua 13:14). In verse eight, the Lord says that the Reubenites and Gadites had already received their inheritance from Moses. Why Did God Choose 12 Tribes? As we have already mentioned, the sons of Kedar became known as the Kedarites. The Kedarites were the main military power of the sons of Ishmael. Isaiah speaks of Kedar’s “glory and her gifted archers” (Isaiah 21:16-17). Ezekiel 27:21 associates Arabia with all of the princes of Kedar, suggesting a confederation under their leadership. To Asher, Jacob said that his family would prosper. In the Song of Deborah ( Judges 5:17), the tribe of Asher is one of the two tribes of Israel, the other being the Danites, associated with seafaring and, by implication, sea commerce.

Manasseh: “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father ’s household”( Genesis 41:51) This is the oldest son of Joseph: “God has taken away my disgrace” ( Genesis 30:23). The tribe of Joseph was split into two names after his sons ( Genesis 48:13-22). Manasseh was given the most land and was placed over the Jordan River. Warm and dry from April to October.

Joshua 13:33 - "To the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, as He had said to them." Isaac is depicted in Scripture as a man of great faithfulness to the Lord. God told Abraham to sacrifice him ( Genesis 22), and Isaac submitted to God faithfully, but later a ram was chosen in his place for the sacrifice and he was spared. Rebekah was chosen as a wife for Isaac ( Genesis 24). Like Sarah, she was barren and later conceived, becoming pregnant with twins. Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

During their captivity in Egypt, God heard their cries and called Moses to rescue his fellow Israelites from their plight. Along their escape from Egypt they stopped at Mount Sinai, where God gave them the Ten Commandments which are still followed by Jews and Christians today. The Israelites crossed the Red Sea and were guided by God through the wilderness where they wandered for forty years due to disobedience and unbelief. During these forty years, God still provided for them with manna which rained from heaven. After the forty years, they were led into the Promised Land by Joshua. Moses died in the wilderness along with other adults except for Caleb and Joshua. In the Promised Land Hebrews 12:22-24 - "You have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the gathering and Church of the Firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel."

Issachar The Tribe of Reuben received half the southernmost portion of land of the Ammorites taken from king Sihon, all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites. Their territory was located: east of the Dead Sea, north of the Arnon River and as far north as the city Heshbon, the capital city of the Amorites from where king Sihon reigned ( Joshua 13:15-23). As you know it is the death and resurrection of Jesus, whose earthly lineage is of the tribe of Judah, that brought salvation to all mankind, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Genesis 12. All the nations, peoples and families of the world have been blessed through Abraham’s lineage because of Jesus.

Asher: “How happy I am! The women will call me happy” ( Genesis 30:13). The food of Asher is said to be rich ( Genesis 49:20). This tribe was located northwest on the Mediterranean.
