There is a lot to be memorized there if you were keen but I don’t think that is the purpose of the site. It’s more a reference page.
 
Having them as a reference is, I think, the idea.

I’m not sure it’s particularly helpful to memorise things like the 12 Tribes of Israel, the 14 Holy Helpers, the 9 choirs of angels or the order of creation, after all.

14 Tribes in all. Israel adopted his grandsons thro’ Joseph - Ephraim and Mannseh as his own sons and gave them an inheritance alongwith the twelve.

When the kingdom of Israel split, Judah and Benjamin were together and later came to be called Judah while the rest ten plus two were one and referred to as Ephraim.

From the link provided:h

The 12 Tribes of Israel
In order of their birth:

Reuben
Simeon
Levi
Judah
Zabulon
Issachar
Dan
Gad
Asher
Naphtali
Joseph (Menasseh and Ephraim)
Benjamin

When God told Moses how to construct the priestly garments in Deuteronomy, He commanded 12 (not 14) stones to be set into the High Priest’s breastplate - one for each of the tribes.

Our Lord Himself referred to the Apostles sitting on thrones and judging the 12 (not 14) tribes of Israel.

I think I’ll take His word rather than yours.
