Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand,…. “Asher”, which the Septuagint pronounce “Aser”, as here, signifies “blessed”, Ge 30:13; as all the sealed ones are, blessed with all spiritual blessings, with grace here, and glory hereafter.
Of the tribe of Nephthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand; the name of this tribe signifies “wrestlings”, Ge 30:8; and may design the wrestlings of saints, both with God in prayer, and with their enemies, sin, Satan, and the world, and also their strivings together for the faith of the Gospel.
Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand; this word signifies “forgetting”, Ge 41:51; and shows that the followers of Christ should forget the things that are behind, their sinful lusts and pleasures, the onions and garlic in Egypt, and their former company and acquaintance, their own people, and their father’s house, and all their labours and sufferings for the sake of Christ.

Rev 7:6. , Napthali: Manasseh) Dan is omitted, because that tribe had now long ago fallen away to the single family of Hussim, as the Hebrews say; and this family itself seems to have perished by wars before the times of Esdras. For in the Chronicles, where the posterity of the patriarchs is mentioned, Dan is omitted. And perhaps this is predicted in Amo 8:14. John of Antioch relates that a few survived of the tribe of Dan, and that they fled into Phnicia.-Grotius. It is not so much that Dan is omitted, as that his small numbers, concealed under Manasseh, are joined with Napthali, whose brother he was by the same mother. [For Napthali alone, unless this is here tacitly implied, throughout the whole, series, would not have his brother by the same mother mentioned in connection with him. As for the rest, Levi, in this enumeration, occupies his own place again, and two portions are given to Joseph, the one in his own name, the other under the name of Manasseh.-V. g.]
