Judah was one of the twelve sons of Jacob, and his descendants formed one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Judah is notable for its leadership role among the tribes, as it was prophesied in <a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a> that the scepter would not depart from Judah, indicating a royal lineage. This prophecy is fulfilled in the line of King David and ultimately in Jesus Christ, who is referred to as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" in <a href="/revelation/5-5.htm">Revelation 5:5</a>. The tribe's prominence is also seen in its central role during the wilderness wanderings and its position in the camp and march formations as described in the Book of Numbers.<p><b>and their registration numbered 76,500</b><br>The census of the tribe of Judah, numbering 76,500, reflects its status as the largest tribe at this point in Israel's history. This census was conducted as part of the second numbering of the Israelites in the wilderness, as recorded in <a href="/numbers/26.htm">Numbers 26</a>. The increase in numbers from the first census (<a href="/numbers/1-27.htm">Numbers 1:27</a>, where Judah numbered 74,600) indicates the tribe's growth and vitality despite the challenges faced during the wilderness period. This growth can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars (<a href="/genesis/15-5.htm">Genesis 15:5</a>). The large number also underscores Judah's military strength and its future role in leading the conquest of Canaan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joseph.htm">Joseph</a></b><br>One of the twelve sons of Jacob, Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers but rose to become a powerful leader in Egypt.
