[Dan27390]

The 12 tribes of Israel stem from the 12 sons of Jacob, who was named ‘Israel’ by God. Jacob was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham, who is considered the father of the Jews. Joseph, the youngest son of Jacob, brought his brothers and their families into Egypt during a famine, and there the Israelite nation started growing in number. By the time Moses came around, the Israelites numbered upwards of several hundred thousand, and each was divided into their respective tribe via geneology. Today the tribal lineages are lost, however, we do know that the knowledge was present in New Testament times because Jesus was of the tribe of Judah, and the Apostle Paul was of the Tribe of Benjamin. Ashkenazic Jews are modern day Hebraic Jews; that is, the same ethnicity (Hebrew) as the ancient Israelites were. They were present in Israel/Palestine long before the modern day nation of Israel was founded.
