The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel is the first study to treat the history of claims to an Israelite identity as an ongoing historical phenomenon from biblical times to the present. By treating the Hebrew Bible's accounts of Israel as one of many efforts to construct an Israelite history, rather than source material for later legends, Andrew Tobolowsky brings a long-term comparative approach to biblical and nonbiblical "Israelite" histories. In the process, he sheds new light on how the structure of the twelve tribes tradition enables the creation of so many different visions of Israel, and generates new questions: How can we explain the enduring power of the myth of the twelve tribes of Israel? How does "becoming Israel" work, why has it proven so popular, and how did it change over time? Finally, what can the changing shape of Israel itself reveal about those who claimed it?

This Element explores constructions of Israelite identity among Jewish, Samaritan Israelites, and Christian authors in Late Antiquity, especially early Late Antiquity. It identifies three major strategies for claiming an Israelite identity between these three groups: a 'biological' strategy, a 'biology plus' strategy, and an 'abiological' strategy, referring to the difference between Jewish claims to Israel premised on exclusive biological descent, Samaritan Israelite acknowledgments of shared descent, and the 'Verus Israel' tradition in Christianity, which disavows the importance of descent. Using this framework, it makes various general conclusions about the construction of ethnic identity itself, including the inadequacy of treating descent claims as the sine qua non of ethnicity and role played in any given vision of ethnic identity by the individual creativity of a given author.

Andrew Tobolowsky bietet in dieser Studie einen neuen Zugang zur biblischen Beschreibung der Stämme Israels als "Söhne Jakobs". Unterschiedliche Thesen über die frühisraelitische Geschichte und das Fehlen von Bezugnahmen auf Jakob in den meisten Erzählungen machen es unwahrscheinlich, dass dieses Verständnis Teil eines frühen Stammesdiskurses war. Stattdessen zieht Andrew Tobolowsky die auffälligen Ähnlichkeiten zwischen der Rolle, die Jakobs Kinder in der biblischen Erzählung spielen und der Rolle, die Figuren wie Hellen und Herakles in der Konstruktion griechischer Urgeschichten spielen, heran. Er schließt, dass das "stammes-genealogische" Konzept erstmals in der spätpersischen Periode entwickelt wurde, als Werkzeug für eine neu integrierte, kohärente Darstellung einer gemeinsamen ethnischen Vergangenheit; der ersten durchgängigen biblischen Vorstellung einer israelitischen Geschichte von Adam bis zum Fall Jerusalems und darüber hinaus.
