The Twelve Tribes of Judah are more properly called the Twelve Tribes of Israel (since they are all descended from Israel, not Judah). Each of the Tribes has its own symbol, relating to its history. Examples include the Lion as the symbol of Judah, the Sailboat as the symbol of Zebulun, the Tree as the symbol of Asher, and the Wolf as the symbol of Benjamin.
