But of the rest are listed. All except for Ephraim and Dan.

Lots and lots of debate about that.

Danites were said to be rabid in idolatry.

But, why list one of Joesephs sons but not the other. I cant go with the Levite explaination as the Levites are listed.

Interesting.

Might it be, like some have theories on that the Danites became what we know as modern day europeans? Vikings?
And that Ephraim is the USA?
So niether is included?

You ever figure that out lemme know.

Ephraim was Joseph's son, so there's only one of Jacobs's sons (Israel's tribes) missing - Dan.

Danites were said to be rabid in idolatry.

That is probably the reason but I don't have more insight into that yet. I'm reading through the Old Testament and I expect at some point I'll have more understanding about what happened to Dan.
