Twelve Tribes

The tribal allotments of Israel are displayed here across the land of Canaan and the territory east of the Jordan River, reflecting the divisions described in Joshua 13:8 - 19:49. The map shows the western tribes, including Judah, Simeon, Benjamin, Ephraim, Dan, West Manasseh, Issachar, Zebulun, Naphtali, and Asher, along with the eastern inheritances of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh. Key cities such as Jerusalem, Hebron, Shechem, Shiloh, Jericho, Megiddo, Hazor, Beersheba, and Ramoth-gilead help show how Israel's tribes were spread across varied terrain, from coastal plains and fertile valleys to hill country, wilderness, and Transjordan highlands. The map highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to give Abraham's descendants the land of Canaan, while also showing that each tribe had a distinct inheritance and responsibility to settle, defend, and remain faithful within its allotted portion.
