“ Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,

“ Speak to Solomon’s son Rehoboam, the king of Judah. Speak to all the people of Israel in Judah and Benjamin. Tell them,

“ Say to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,

“ Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people,

Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

“ Say this to King Rehoboam son of Solomon of Judah and to all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin,

“ Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin— a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law.

And I heard how many were marked with the seal of God— 144,000 were sealed from all the tribes of Israel:from Judah 12,000 from Reuben 12,000 from Gad 12,000from Asher 12,000 from Naphtali 12,000 from Manasseh 12,000from Simeon 12,000 from Levi 12,000 from Issachar 12,000from Zebulun 12,000 from Joseph 12,000 from Benjamin 12,000

These are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said as he told his sons good bye. He blessed each one with an appropriate message.

And this is still going on today. They continue to follow their former practices instead of truly worshiping the Lord and obeying the decrees, regulations, instructions, and commands he gave the descendants of Jacob, whose name he changed to Israel.

Then Moses carefully wrote down all the Lord’s instructions. Early the next morning Moses got up and built an altar at the foot of the mountain. He also set up twelve pillars, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
