the 12 tribes are actually in the Old Testament. when Jesus chose 12 apostles, it was generally understood that these were the 12 tribes of the New Covenant, which was a system that relied on the grace and forgiveness of God, rather than on man's remorse and sacrifice. The 12 tribes in the Old Testament are named forthe 12 sons of Israel (Jacob). They are: Reuben, Judah, Dan, Benjamin, Naphtali, Asher, Zeubulun, Issachar, Gad, Simeon, Levi, and the two half tribes of Joseph: Manasseh and Ephraim.
