The Twelve Tribes
The Israelites were divided along family lines, each called a shevet or mateh in Hebrew meaning literally a "staff" or "rod". The term is conventionally translated as "tribe" in English, although the divisions were not small isolated distinct ethnic groups in the modern sense of the term.
Some English speaking Jewish groups view the pronunciation, English transcription and Hebrew spelling of the tribal names to be extremely important. The transcriptions and spellings are as follows:
Reuben: ראובן, Standard Rəuven, Tiberian Rəʾ?ḇēn
Simeon: שמעון, Standard imon, Tiberian imʿn

Judah: יהודה, Standard Yəhuda, Tiberian Yəh?ḏāh
Dan: דן, Standard Dan, Tiberian Dān
