Best Answer

Dinah is not a tribe of Israel because she provides no offspring.

Rabbis speculate that she may have had one daughter from the Rape of Shchem which would be Asenath, Joseph's future wife in Egypt. In this case, her claim to be a tribe would have been absorbed by Joseph's marriage of Asenath, leading to the same general outcome that she loses out on becoming a tribe because her offspring are not a unique set of Hebrew individuals.
