Representative Text

Jacob lived in Canaan, there he had twelve sons;
(Count on fingers)
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun;
Issachar and Asher, Naphthali and Dan;
Joseph, Gad and Benjamin.

In the land of Egypt, Jospeh had two sons;
Ephraim and Manasseh, a tribe for every one.
Tribes were twelve in number - Levites too had one;
Thus were all the tribes begun.
