The tribe of Judah was the largest of the twelve tribes of Israel. This tribe was known for its leadership and prominence in the kingdom of Israel.

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. The most common symbol representing all twelve tribes is the breastplate of the High Priest adorned with twelve semi-precious and precious stones representing the twelve tribes. This is called Avnei Ha-Khoshan in Hebrew. A link to an image of this is provided.

The Twelve Tribes of Israel are important in the Bible because they represent the twelve sons of Jacob, who was renamed Israel. Each tribe played a unique role in the history and religious practices of the Israelites, and their descendants formed the foundation of the nation of Israel. The tribes are often used symbolically to represent unity and diversity among God's chosen people.
All priests were from the tribe of Levi. This tribe was not allocated land in the division of Canaan, but were provided for in biblical laws.
The twelve tribes of Israel were the descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Each tribe had its own territory and leader, and together they formed the nation of Israel. The tribes played a significant role in the history of Israel, as they were the foundation of the nation and were responsible for governing different regions, providing military support, and upholding religious practices. The tribes also played a key role in the establishment of the kingdom of Israel and the eventual division of the nation into two kingdoms.
The separate family groups that descended from Jacob are known as the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Each tribe is named after one of Jacob's sons, who later became the patriarchs of these tribes.
