A careful reading of The Bible suggests a very different story. The Book of Judges preserves an ancient poem from the late second millennium and considered to be the earliest reference to the Hebrew tribes. This is usually called the Song of Deborah (Judges 5:2-31), and the poet honours those tribes of Israel that joined in battle against a Canaanite coalition and castigates those that held back. It seems there were only ten tribes at this early stage, named as: Reuben, Benjamin, Ephraim, Manasseh, Zebulon, Issachar, Dan, Naphtali, Asher, Gilead, to which we could add Levi. This list notably omits Judah, Simeon and Gad, but has Gilead, as well as the otherwise unknown Meroz, which could have been an eleventh tribe. This and some other obscure passages suggests the evolution of the Hebrew tribal system, rather than the patrilineal version more commonly accepted.
