Tribe of Judah

"Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?”"

"For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest."

"He rejected the tent of Joseph | and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim."

"Vicit Leo de tribu Juda, radix David."
