The Israelites, descendants of the biblical patriarch Jacob, were divided into twelve tribes which were named after Jacob's sons and grandsons. These tribes were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.
The Levites were made up of three families, from Levi's sons Gershon, Kehath, and Merari. (Gen. 46:11; 1Chronicles 6:1)
