| | | | | Kaifeng Jews: Encyclopedia II - Ten Lost Tribes - The Tribes in History The Kingdom of Israel actually consisted of only nine tribes - Reuben, Manasseh, Ephraim, Gad, Asher, Dan, Naphtali, Zebulun, and Issachar; and of these, it is quite possible that Reuben had disappeared or merged with Gad well before the destruction of the Kingdom in the 8th century. The tenth tribe was said to be either that of Simeon or those Levites that had been in the northern kingdom. The Tribe of Simeon, however, had actually been situated in the area that would become the Kingdom of Judah, but again according to some, had apparently been absorb ...

They refer to both religious and ethnic divisions.
Other Jewish ethnic groups include Mizrahi Jews (a term overlapping Sephardi, but emphasizing North African and Middle Eastern rather than Spanish history, and including the Maghre ...
