Tribal lists differ
Not every biblical list of the tribes names the same twelve: Levi is sometimes left out and Joseph counted as Ephraim and Manasseh, and Revelation 7 leaves out Dan and Ephraim by name. Numbers 1:20–49Genesis 49:1–28Deuteronomy 33:6–25Revelation 7:4–8
Every relationship here comes from a cited passage. Solid lines are stated parent links; dashed lines mean generations are not all listed; dotted lines mark legal or adoptive parents; a question mark marks a disputed or interpretive link. Political succession and office are never drawn as family.
