Which Jewish tribe was Jesus a member of?
Which tribe of Israel was Jesus a member of? Judah. Jesus was a Jew. The tribes are also called the sons of Jacob. Jacob wrestled all night with God to receive Gods blessing, and Jacob prevailed, as in, he won! At dawn God dislocated the man’s hip, and ended the fight.Then he blessed him and any future children he would have, AND all their generations. Then God gave him a new name. Israel = “He wrestled God, and prevailed.” As Israel, he had 12 sons. The TRIBE of Judah is three families combined, Benjamin, Levi and Judah. All three families called themselves “Jews” at the time of Christ, however Jesus was a Jew from the Family of Judah, from the blood line of King David. I hope this helps.
