Jacob’s family and the twelve tribes

Subhashini Sumanasekara’s illustrated introduction connects Jacob’s twelve sons with the formation of the twelve tribes of Israel. It explains what a tribe is and describes the tribes’ places around the tabernacle and their roles in Israel’s journey. Biblical references give the book’s structure, including Jacob’s blessings in Genesis 49, Moses’ blessings in Deuteronomy 33, and the image of God’s people in Revelation 7. Alongside these accounts, the book introduces tribal banners and presents teamwork, kindness, and the idea that each person has gifts as themes for young readers.

This beautifully illustrated book introduces young readers to Jacob (Israel), his twelve sons, and how their families became the twelve tribes of Israel.

With simple explanations, engaging visuals, and easy-to-follow Bible-based storytelling, kids will explore the meaning of tribal banners, blessings, and teamwork. The book also highlights key Bible connections, including Jacob's blessings (Genesis 49), Moses' blessings (Deuteronomy 33), and the hopeful picture of God's people in Revelation 7.

Perfect for ages 6 to 12, this book encourages children to see that everyone has gifts, every person matters, and God calls His family to live with faith, order, and kindness. Ideal for family reading, Sunday school, homeschooling, and classroom Bible time.
