Overview

The twelve sons of the patriarch Jacob became heads of the tribes of Israel. In common with many biblical names, the names given to Jacob's sons highlight aspects of their personal characters and their subsequent histories. Andrew Bonar traces the biblical accounts of the twelve men and the tribes they founded. As he skilfully guides us through clues from the Old Testament narratives, Andrew Bonar shows us how each tribe continued to bear the characteristics of its founder, sometimes extending even into New Testament times.
