The Twelve Tribes of Israel were the twelve families, or clans, that descended from Israel (Jacob). They formed the country and nation of Israel after the children of Israel entered into the Promised Land, and the land was divided up into twelve sections, one for each tribe.
In the future Millennial Kingdom, the Promised Land will also be divided up based on the Twelve Tribes. (Ezekiel 45-47)
