    Who was the first leader of the Israelites?

    Question #97229. Asked by storky1. (Jul 04 08 6:50 AM)

    		Well, they descended from Jacob (Israel):

    "The term Israelite typically denotes the ancient people of the Biblical period descended directly from Jacob."

    And were led by Moses, then Joshua:

    "The tribes were assigned territories following the conquests of land under Moses and Joshua."

    		The original "Sons of Israel" in the Bible - the literal 12 - coexisted under the semiformal "leadership" which was split between Reuven, Judah and Joseph, though others among them sometimes assumed certain leadership roles for short periods.
