  • Rev 7:4 -> "And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousands, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel. Out of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand had been sealed.  Out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand had been sealed. Out of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand had been sealed."

Since Ephraim is not one of the 12 main tribes I don't think it's too unusual that they aren't included.

There is no way to know for sure why Dan is missing, the Bible doesn't say. But this article offers a few possibilities. https://www.gotquestions.org/tribe-Dan-missing-144000.html

Their genetic factor might be dispersed by marriage with gentiles.

 I heard that it is because these two tribes were the place where the two calves of Jeroboam were placed (1Kings 12:29).

It's my understanding that Dan dispersed and intermarried with the Phoenicians and lost their genetic tribalism because they didn't like the land that was allotted to them..  They pretty much took on the paganism of those also.

Can this be confirmed in the Holy Scripture?

It's been some time since I  looked at it.  As I remember not directly but from several places that throw hints.
