There’s no great source for the other tribes other than Levi (basically the law of Moses description of their role and John the Baptist’s statement to Joseph and Oliver), Judah (we know a lot about the Jews in the last days and their role from various scriptures, and Ephraim (from Hosea, Isaiah, and the Doctrine and Covenants which essentially is a set of commandments for the Church which is now largely Ephraim). The roles of the other ten (since there are 13 tribes) are more obscure. We know most about Benjamin after the first three I mentioned, but then the rest have very thin information in scripture. What I meant by the quote you cited is that when someone is declared part of one of the less common tribes, there might be elements in their personal patriarchal blessing which talk about their role. Since the blessings are sacred and private–we don’t know what’s in them. I’m just speculating that if you could find everyone who had been told they were from Naphtali (for example) and then collate the information in their blessings, you might get a clue as to the role of Naphtali in the latter days. I’ll send you a thing I wrote on Benjamin for a Mom who wanted to know about that tribe since her son was told he was in that one. Best regards, T

You’re welcome. Thanks for the idea on the Egyptian’s entrance into slavery for food–good insight.
