The term "the 12 tribes" is usually taken to refer to the 12 tribes of Israel, all of which are, by tradition, descended from the patriarch Jacob. The historical record is clear that sub-Saharan Africans were dark skinned long before the time of Jacob, so the belief that Blacks are descended from one of the 12 tribes is a bit bizarre. In the Middle Ages, Rabbi David ibn Zimra of Cairo said that Ethiopian Jews were descended from the tribe of Dan. There is evidence that the Lemba, an African tribe, are the dispersed remnant of Great Zimbabwe, and that their ancestors were Yemenite Jews. There is both cultural and genetic evidence to back this claim, and the DNA evidence suggests that Cohens (the priestly clan from the Levite tribe) were among the male ancestors of the Lemba.
