  Yehoshua-Reflections - Chapter 7, Verses 16-18 - Torah.org
The scrutiny of the tribes was done through the Heavenly indication of the stones on the "Urim V'Tumim." The Kohain Gadol wore a sacred breastplate with twelve precious glowing stones - corresponding to the twelve tribes - affixed to it.
Maimonides expresses this best through his classic statement, "The king is the heart of the entire nation." Accordingly, the tribe of Yehuda's stone represented their perfect leadership qualities accompanied by a total sense of concern and responsibility for the entire nation.
This could be part of Scriptures initial message when focusing on the tribe of Yehuda and stating, "And the Jewish people violated the ban and Achan partook...from the tribe of Yehuda from the ban." We noted earlier that the accompanying reading notes reflect a direct focus on the tribe of Yehuda.

The lost tribes of Israel were the tribes of the northern Kingdom of Israel deported by the Assyrians in the 8th century BC.
The Jews are the descendants of the tribes of Kingdom of Judah, as well as refugees from the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
Most descendants of the Israelite tribes are not Jewish; over the last two millennia the Jewish kingdom of Israel was destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of its citizens were taken away into slavery or killed.

The ten lost tribes are those from the northern Kingdom of Israel, who were deported by the Assyrians in the 8th century BC.
Some people hold that some of these ten tribes still maintained some semblance of their Israelite identity, and are waiting to be rediscovered.
Whatever the historical origin of the Israelite tribes, they had a distinct identity as recently as 722 BC, when the Assyrians conquered the northern Kingdom of Israel and sent its populace into exile.

Yehuda accepts personal responsibility for Binyamin, which of course leads to his subsequent initiative at the end of this week's parsha and the beginning of the next, and this assumption of responsibility is quite correctly seen as the mark which distinguished him and led to his selection for the leadership role.
Yehuda's attitude toward Binyamin is the opposite of what he showed toward Yosef, and therefore we are at a turning point in the development of his personality.
Yehuda, in his conversation with his father, evinces true leadership, by insisting on an answer, a choice, by forcing himself and his father to face up and grapple with their destiny and not passively let it overcome them.

In Biblical Israel, the tribes were organized into a northern and a southern kingdom, and the southern kingdom developped a distinct identity as the "Jews" as 722 BC, when the Assyrians conquered the northern Kingdom of Israel and sent its populace into exile.
Today's Jews are mostly descended from the Israelites of the Kingdom of Judah, and thus are often identified as Israelites.
One popular doctrine in Mormonism is that ten lost tribes of Israel exist in the form of their Gentile descendents, and in the future they will gather in the Americas and establish a new Zion.

Ya'acov sends Yoseph from Chevron, which is in Yehuda, to Sh'chem which is in Shomron (Samaria), from where Yoseph goes on to Dotan (Dothan), also in Shomron, and is then taken to Egypt ("the world").
Yehuda, therefore, 'ups and leaves', or in the words of the text he, "departs from his brothers and descends" ("va'yered" - "and he went down") to Adulam (38:1).
In verse 21, Yehuda is seen looking for the "harlot" (of verse 15), calling her here "k'desha", which is translated "temple prostitute".

However, the tribe of Binyamin appears to be an exception, as its borders are described in extraordinary detail in the second half of chapter 18.

Our Sages tell us that it is because Mordechai refused to bow down that he was called "Mordechai Hayehudi" He was given this title even though he was not from the tribe of Yehuda (Judah), but rather from the tribe of Benjamin.
"Yehuda" is from the word "hoda'ah," meaning "to acknowledge." The Talmud states that when a person rejects idol worship, it is as if he has acknowledged the entire Torah.
For this reason, he is called "Mordechai Hayehudi." And it is for this same reason that all Jews, regardless of their tribe, are called "Yehudim"- Jews, for they acknowledge the truth of G-d's Torah.

Hebron, which served as the tribe of Yehuda's center and where King David had ruled for seven years, was abandoned for Jerusalem.

Rav Yaakov Kaminetsky zt'l writes in his sefer Emet L'Yaakov (parshat Vayechi), that Yaakov blessed his sons in the presence of the whole family so that all would know what each tribe's role was in the Jewish people and that no one would encroach on another's domain.
Another reason for this was that they would all know that each one's role was critical for the Jewish people and that the nation as a whole would succeed only if each one did his role.

However, the crisis that surfaces upon their return is due precisely to the fact that this constituted not a standard, routine survey of territory, but rather a mission of a communal nature, that was composed in accordance with its nature and communal function.
After all, Moshe did not dispatch a small group of secret spies, but rather a delegation consisting of representatives from all the tribes, men whose tribes saw them as respected leaders, as the text itself testifies: "send one man from each of their ancestral tribes, each one a chieftain among them" (13:2).

In early February 2004 Prime Minister Sharon announced his intention to expel (aka evacuate or relocate or transfer or remove or ethnically cleanse) the almost 8,000 Jewish residents of Gush Katif in Gaza, an integral Halachic part of the Land of Israel in the Tribe of Yehuda (Judah).
This assertion is a reference to the fact that most all of the Biblical commentators maintain that Gaza is within the boundaries of Shevet Yehuda in Biblical Eretz Yisrael (see Genesis 15, Joshua 15:47, Kings 15:47 and Judges 1:18) and therefore it also has the Halachic requirement to be settled (and therefore certainly not abandoned).
Most commentators also require tithes to be taken from the produce grown in Gaza as is required of all produce grown in the Land of Israel and this is the practice today.
