>>One curious conversation topic is how lists of the tribes vary slightly from source to source, none of the sources being self conscious about it.<<

I'm not sure what you mean by "from source to source". The only source that should be considered is scripture. The twelve tribes are clearly identified in scripture.

Various passages... you’ll see discrepancies (huh? discrepancies in scripture... well yes they are, which is a rude surprise to those who think they are dealing with a wooden book).
