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

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

	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 19:08 GMT	7 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 20:28 GMT	3 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 04:24 GMT	3 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 19:28 GMT	2 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.
