Why Mormons talk about the 'twelve tribes of Israel'

Okay, well admit it... We weren't crazy familiar with the 12 tribes of Israel going into this episode. BUT in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), you might hear the twelve tribes of Israel referred to in patriarchal blessings and so forth.    In this episode, we talk about the twelve tribes, their responsibilities, and why it's so commonly mentioned in the Church of Jesus Christ.    Kwaku talks about his patriarchal blessing mentioning that he is from the tribe of Abraham. David then talks more about the history of the twelve tribes and how they came to be. Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted
