Why is the fourth book of the old testament named Numbers?
Technically, the Hebrew name means "in the wilderness" but it was changed to Numbers due to the numbering (or census) of Israel tribes within the book.
Where are the twelve tribes of Israel listed in the Bible?
Another answer from our community:Numbers 2 is a good place to find all the tribes. This chapter details the camping arrangement of the tribes while they travelled in the wilderness:On the east: Judah, Issachar and Zebulun (v3-7)On the south: Reuben, Simeon and Gad (v10-14)On the west: Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin (v18-22)On the north: Dan, Asher and Naphtali (v25-29)These camped in a rectangle around the tabernacle. The tribe of Levi encamped in a smaller rectangle between the other 12 tribes and the tabernacle.If you do your counting, you will find that there are actually 13 tribes listed. This is for two reasons:Joseph was given firstborn status and as such had a double portion. Instead of a single tribe of Joseph, his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh were made tribes. In Gen 48:5 Jacob claims his grandsons as his own.The Levites were not given tribal land and were instead dispersed throughout Israel. God says that the Levites were dedicated to him in place of all the firstborn sons of Israel which were saved during the last plague on Egypt (Num 3:40-41)In other places the tribes are listed differently. When Jacob's blesses his sons (Gen 49) 12 are listed but Joseph is listed on his own instead of Ephraim and Manasseh.In Revelation 7:1-8 where 144,000 faithful (12,000 from each tribe), Levi, Ephraim and Manasseh are all present, but Dan is omitted from the 12. It is important to remember that Revelation is highly symbolic. In Jacob's 'blessings' Dan is represented as a "serpent by the roadside, a viper along the path" (Gen 49:17). The snake is a symbol of sin throughout the Bible. It may be that this symbolism is used in this list, excluding the tribe representing sin as it is the righteous who are being sealed.
Is it true that Abram Isaac Jacob and Judah mentioned in genealogy list of Matthew and Luke were not real people but names of tribes of people?
No. Abram, whose name was changed by God to Abraham, was the father of Isaac. (See Gen. 21.) Isaac was the father of Jacob. (See Gen. 25:19 and the following verses.) Isaac had 12 sons who, roughly speaking, gave their names to the 12 tribes of the Israelites. One of those sons was named Judah, and his descendants, generally speaking, were members of the tribe of Judah. (See Gen. 49 where Jacob blesses his sons, but is also making prophecies about the tribes that will be named for each of them.)
