The Samaritans are traditionally believed to be descendants of the Israelites who remained in the land of Israel after the Assyrian conquest of the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 BCE. They primarily associate themselves with the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, which are part of the northern kingdom. The Samaritans have their own religious practices and a distinct version of the Torah, which they regard as sacred. Their community has historically maintained its identity separate from mainstream Judaism.
