20 The sons of Ephraim were Shuthelah and Bered his son , Tahath his son , Eleadah his son , Tahath his son , 21 Zabad his son , Shuthelah his son , and Ezer and Elead whom the men of Gath who were born in the land killed , because they came down to take their livestock . 22 Their father Ephraim mourned many days , and his relatives came to comfort him. 23 Then he went in to his wife , and she conceived and bore a son , and he named e him Beriah , because misfortune had come upon his house . 24 His daughter was Sheerah , who built lower and upper Beth-horon , also Uzzen-sheerah . 25 Rephah was his son along with Resheph , Telah his son , Tahan his son , 26 Ladan his son , Ammihud his son , Elishama his son , 27 Non his son and Joshua his son . 28 Their possessions and settlements were Bethel with its towns , and to the east Naaran , and to the west Gezer with its towns , and Shechem with its towns as far as Ayyah with its towns , 29 and along the borders of the sons of Manasseh , Beth-shean with its towns , Taanach with its towns , Megiddo with its towns , Dor with its towns . In these lived the sons of Joseph the son of Israel .

Here is no account either of Zebulun or Dan. We can assign no reason why they only should be omitted; but it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan, that idolatry began in that colony which fixed in Laish, and called it Dan, Revelation 7. Men become abominable when they forsake the worship of the true God, for any creature object.
