Don’t mean to quibble, but the tribe of Levi is still in existence as anyone who goes to synagogue knows. First reading of the Torah is by a Kohen, second by a Levi, third by Israel which is any other tribe... Levi did not have their own land but instead had cities in the land of the other tribes.

Indeed. I am fully aware that Levites received cities rather than a land allotment. In reality, there were 13 tribes, because Joseph’s land inheritance went to both of his sons and Levi was set apart. The Levites had a n important role in Judah.
