No one seems sure as to why though there is some speculation. Some will say the tribe of Dan seemed to fall away from God's path and to idolatry - see Judges 18 and 1 Kings 12 as examples. Indeed Dan's territory became a center of pagan worship.

Tying this to the prophecy Israel gave about each of his sons, we read in Genesis 48:16-18 of Dan's 'wandering' and perhaps their abandoning their true faith as described above, when interpreting the 'a viper by the path' phrase.

In any event, the last verse tells us that Dan will eventually be saved with the other tribes and all peoples of the world, "I have waited for your salvation, O LORD!"

Please note that the tribe of Ephraim is excluded as well. His father Joseph is included with brother Manasseh. Another question perhaps?

Why isn't the Tribe of Dan in the 144000 You demand an explanation?

Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: sealed an hundred forty four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5 Of the tribe of Juda sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of Aser sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin sealed twelve thousand. So it appears as if one of Joseph's sons took Dan's place, wheather this is intentional or a slip up, is hard to say with out the original script. http://www.hubpages.com/hub/biblenames
