The Tribe of Judah (Hebrew: יהודה, Yehūḏāh) was one of the twelve Tribes of Israel. Its members were descended from Judah, the fourth son of Jacob by Leah, and were called Judahites (Hebrew: יהודים, Yehūḏīm).
Symbols
The gemstone of the tribe of Judah was the garnet, which appeared first in the second row of the Breastplate of Judgment. The tribe of Judah also adopted the lion as their symbol, based on Jacob's deathbed blessing of Judah.
In the wilderness
The tribe of Judah camped to the east of the Tabernacle and marched in the first rank, next to the tribes of Issachar and Zebulun.
In the land
The territory of Judah was a sizable territory in the southern portion of the Promised Land. King David used Hebron as his capital for seven and one-half years.
Representative descendants
