	wow...having to perform Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat actually came in handy...

	Hebrew pronunciations should also be accepted, and naphtali with an 'F'

	Jacob also had a daughter, Dinah, as clearly described in Genesis 34:1.

	MusicNutMeggie:	Dec 16th, 2008 at 09:18 GMT	14 points
	Yes, Jacob had at least one daughter-- this should be retitled "Sons of Jacob", and Hebrew can be transliterated several different ways, so Napthali, Naftali, Yissasschar, Zebulon should all be accepted.

	Definitely agree that Dinah should be a bonus at least...

	thefinestmuffins:	Jan 17th, 2009 at 15:08 GMT	9 points
	agreed that alternate spellings should be accepted and that Dinah needs some representation. Anyone who's read The Red Tent will be pretty attached to her.

	Great quiz. It's so terrific to be challenged by things you really ought to know, but have forgotten....

	I wonder if the more accurate title shouldn't be the 12 Tribes of Israel - I believe that's who these are, and it would be easier to understand why a daughter is not listed.

	Bodhisvaha: haha, that's exactly how I remembered them.

	ShepherdBook:	May 22nd, 2009 at 16:28 GMT	5 points
	Lee - the 12 tribes of Israel are slightly different. For example, there was no tribe of Joseph. Also, the Levites were not counted in among the 12 tribes (they were essentially a thirteenth tribe).

	I agree with Dinah being a bonus, alternate spelling acceptions, and renaming the quiz. To Sheperd Book and Kickawesome: The twelve tribes of Israel are different. Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, took tribal right and formed seperate tribes and yes ther would be 13 tribes including Levites. But, Levi was not a 13th tribe of nations, it was a priestly tribe with completely seperate duties than those of the other 12. I'm such a Bible nerd. Lol. :P

	the spelling is very difficult like joseph could be yosef judah could be yehuda

	LBBrian:	Aug 5th, 2009 at 00:24 GMT	5 points
	This was a great reminder of things I learned a long time ago and want to remember for the future...I also agree that if it remains titled as the "children" of Jacob, then to leave out Dinah is to perpetuate the minimization of women.

	segacs:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 15:28 GMT	4 points
	Dinah needs to be included, I agree. And I also agree that variations closer to the original Hebrew need to be accepted. I kept trying different variations before getting the "accepted" English spelling. Very frustrating. "Shimon" should be accepted for "Simeon", "Yehuda" for "Judah", etc.

	ilusha:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 21:13 GMT	0 points
	Another hebrew spelling that should be accepted is Binyamin or Binyamen. Issachar, Megan, by the way, is never pronounced as Issasschar in the hebrew despite seeming that way. The extra "s" in Issachar essentially highlights the double "sin" in the spelling.

	dang. this was frustrating having to try and figure out these goyishe pronunciations! maybe better next time. haha.

	tulliuscicero:	May 27th, 2010 at 16:56 GMT	2 points
	I agree with applesauce91. Having to use King James's retarded goy spelling made it take way too long. Also, Dinah should be in here.

	Good quiz, the spelling almost got me on a few.

	I once ran into a Jewish man who said I was a hypocrite for believing in the bible and not being able to name all of Israel's sons. I memorized them that day, and actually ran into him again and was able to recite it for him. Still got it.

	BLANK was the first of the Children of Israel, BLANK and BLANK the next in line. BLANK and BLANK and BLANK and BLANK, BLANK and BLANK took the total to nine! JACOB! JACOB AND SONS! BLANK-amin and BLANK-ah which leaves only one! JACOB! JACOB AND SONS! BLANK, Jacob's favorite son! I was the one named after a sandwich

	"Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel, with Simeon and Levi the next in line..." Over 300 performances of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" left me that - and I remember the colors in order too!

	St. Reuben- patron saint of sandwiches.
