The hardest part will be to specifically identify the tribe. We will try to pick one tribe by each person looking at the characteristics of each one according to the Bible, including the blessings given to each of the twelve sons by Jacob in Genesis 30, and then by Moses in Deuteronomy 33.

The blessings or gifts from the Lord are irrevocable, and He said that the blessings will pass to the future generations. So, most of us should be able to look at the blessings that we have today and see to which tribe these blessings were given by YHVH.

Romans 11:29

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Deuteronomy 28:2

And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:

Notice that the blessings are contingent on obeying the voice of the LORD, which is the Word of YHVH.

For example:

1)      Do you love boats, navigation, and the seas? That blessing was given to Zebulun, and that may be your tribe. Genesis 49:13

2)      Are you involved in the teaching of the Torah? That blessing was given to Levi. Deuteronomy 33:8:11

3)      Are you eloquent with words? That blessing was given to Naphtali. Genesis 49:21

4)      Do you work with livestock? That blessing was given to Ruben and Gad.   Numbers 7:25-35

5)    Are you successful with money and happy at the same time? Is there longevity in your family and women with the gift of prophecy? Those blessing were given to Asher. Deuteronomy 33:24-25 (Ana from the N.T. that receives Yeshua as a baby in the Temple and prophesied over Him was from the tribe of Asher. Luke 2:36)

6)      Are you involved in the military? That blessing was given to Simeon. “Mighty men of valor fit for war” 1 Chronicles 12:25

7)      Are you musicians and/or dancers? Those blessing are given to Levi (Miriam, Moses’s sister Exodus 15:20; also the Levites serving at the Temple), and to Judah (King David, 2 Samuel 6:14 & The Psalms).

8)      Do you know the times we live in and are hard working? That blessing is given to Issachar.  Genesis 49:14-15; 1 Chronicles 7:5

9)      Do you have dreams that later on become true? Or are successful in agriculture? Those blessing were given to Joseph. Genesis 37:5; Deuteronomy 33:13-17

10)  Are you into archery and are accurate in target shooting, besides being interested in the military? Or are you a leader in your community as was King Saul? Or love the word of YHVH and evangelize the world, even unto death like the apostle Paul? Those blessing were given to Benjamin Genesis 49:27; 1 Chronicles 12:2; 1 Samuel 9:21; Romans 11:1

11)  Are you a craftsman with the ability to teach others? That blessing was given to the tribe of Dan.  Exodus 35:34

12)  Do you have good fortune? That blessing was given to Gad.  Genesis 30:11; Deuteronomy 33:20-21

13)  Do you believe that YHVH can do great things for His people through you, even though you are weak? That blessing was given to Gideon, of the tribe of Manasseh. Judges 6:15

14)  Are you physically strong as Samson, or are you a judge? Those blessing were also given to the tribe of Dan. Judges 13; G49:16-17

15)  Is your family numerous? Are there in your family women with leadership and prophecy gifts, able to judge? These gifts were given to Deborah, of the tribe of Ephraim. Genesis 41:52; Judges 4:5.

16)  Did you serve in the military? Are you prosperous? Are you a leader of your community? Are you zealous for the Word of YHVH? Do you teach the Word Of YHVH? These were blessings manifested in Joshua from the tribe of Ephraim.                                The Book of Joshua; Deuteronomy 33:17
