Rev 7:7      Rev 7:9

Revelation 7:8

from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000 [Gen. 30:20],
from the tribe of Joseph 12,000 [Gen. 30:24]
and of the tribe of Benjamin 12,000 [the youngest, see Gen. 35:18] who received the seal.
[The twelve tribes originate from Jacob's twelve sons. This is the only list of the tribes in the New Testament and is unusual in several respects. This is the only time Jude is mentioned first, perhaps because Jesus was of that tribe, see Rev 5:5; Matt. 1:2; Luke 3:33. Jacob's eldest son, Reuben, comes second, and last comes the youngest, Benjamin, but the others do not appear in order of birth. It is important to emphasize that neither numerical nor verbal symbolism is an exact science. It should not be used to create new doctrines, but can sometimes reinforce a message that is already clear in the text. See also the introduction to Revelation for more on numerical symbolism.]
