Levi tribe of priest stood by Moses during golden calf idol at Mount Sinai in Exodus 32:25-29. So made ministers in Tabernacle or Temple no tribal land the LORD is their inheritance in Numbers 18:19- 20. Levites received pasture land for their cattle in Joshua 21. Levite laws in Deuteronomy 33:8-11. Moses, Aaron, John the Baptist, Barnabas are levites. Zebulun in days of judges and King David had largest presence in army made David king of Israel at Hebron served with “undivided heart” in 1 Chronicles 12:33. Issachar was loyal to Deborah and Barak in Judges 5:15 are “men who understood times with knowledge of what Israel should do” in 1 Chronicles 12:32. Dan did not secure their portion of land in Judges 1:34; 18:1 migrate north served other gods in Judges 18:14-17. Had new priesthood in Judges 18-20.

Asher rich foods in Genesis 49:20 the tribe possess region of eastern Galilee and its olive groves.

East settlement is “half-tribe of Manasseh.” Levi did not receive tribal territory like other tribes. Joseph’s sons head own tribes received inheritance of land. So Joseph is counted one of the 12 in Genesis 49; Deuteronomy 33 if Levi is not counted, Ephraim and Manasseh are: 12 tribes 1 (Levi) 1 (Joseph) + 1 (Ephraim) + 1 (Manasseh) = 12 tribes.
