বাইবেলের গোত্র ও জাতিসমূহ

২৩ tribes, nations, and peoples move through the Bible's story, from Israel's twelve tribes descended from Jacob's sons to the empires (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Rome) that conquered, exiled, and ruled over them in turn. Alliances shift constantly; a nation that's an enemy in one book is intermarrying with Israel by the next. Knowing who's who explains a lot of what looks like chaos on a first read: why a war breaks out, why a prophet is furious at a specific neighbor, why an exile lands people in one city instead of another.
