Israelite Clans

 This list provides a census of the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land, which helps us obtain verified historical records.

Why the need for all this information you may ask? The summation of it all is this is the Land God gave to them, regardless of who lived there at the time. The whole world belongs to God, He created the world, and it is not ours, we are simply custodians. This is a fundamental that most have forgotten. Those who oppose the will of God will suffer the consequences.
