ation 7:6 and Manasseh mentioned instead?" A. We are not given specific rea son for this. No Scripture definitely states why. Interestingly, in Revel ation 7:7, Levi is included so that the list comes to 12 although he did not have an inheritance in Is rael. The Lord was the inheritance of Levi.

Judges 8 also relates that the tribe of Dan was the first of all to go into idol atry. We should observe also that in Ezekiel 47 and 48 the tribes of Judah and Dan are both included in the distribution of land. Q. Walla Walla, Wash. "Could you please explain Psalm 51:11 and John 7:39?"

He asks that the Holy Spirit not be taken from him .The pas sage in John deals with the fact that the Holy Spirit had not yet been given as we know Him today. The reason is that Jesus was not yet glorified following His cruci fixion. These verses should be con sidered from a dispensational point of view. In Old Testament times
