Clans
Many are being moved in to clans (smaller inner-groups or families) within their tribes. (History: Israel was a nation brought together the hand of God. The nation was comprised of tribes which had a unique subculture within each tribe. Tribes were further divided into clans. Clans were family groups that were identified by their father’s name. The people within each clan were closer in relationship than they were with other tribes(wo)men. Clans lived together and “did life” together. They were involved in each other’s lives in a more intimate manner and functioned in a covenant relationship more closely.)
