Question

Which tribe of israel looked after the religious aspects of life?

Answer 1

Answer:

When Joshua led the Israelites into the land of Canaan the Levites were the only Israelite tribe that received cities but were not allowed to be landowners, because "the Lord God of Israel is their inheritance, as he said to them" (Book of Joshua, Joshua 13:33).

Answer 2

The tribe of Israel which looked after the religious aspects of life is Levi.

• The Levi tribe, being the tribe from which the religious authorities originated, is one of Israel's most powerful tribes.
• The priests had been a separate group and were called "Cohenim." To this day, people whose family name is "Cohen" are descendants of priests.
• People whose family name is "Levi" are descendants of the people who helped the priests.
• In Israel, without demonstrating that he belongs to such classes, one can not change his name to Cohen or Levi.
