[Dan(9698)]

the two sons of the biblical Joseph, who were the first Jews, born outside of the Holy Land.

Jews are decended from Judah, Joseph's brother.

Joseph's decendents are not "Jews", the whole family are Hebrew.

[Redhd2]

Joseph's decendents are not "Jews", the whole family are Hebrew.

Thats the way I understand it. Very Interesting, though, in light of Revelation 7:4-8. Twelve thousand from each tribe.
