All of these were the sons of Machir, the father of Gilead.After the death of Hezron in Caleb ephrathah, Abijah, Hezron’s wife, bore to him Ashhur the father of Tekoa.Now the sons of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron, were Ram the firstborn, then Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah.Jerahmeel had another wife, whose name was Atarah; she was the mother of Onam.The sons of Ram, the firstborn of Jerahmeel, were Maaz, Jamin, and Eker.The sons of Onam were Shammai and Jada.

Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; they came, each one with his household:Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.All the people who descended from Jacob were seventy people, but Joseph was already in Egypt.

“ Take a census of the people from twenty years old and upward, as the Lord has commanded Moses.” Now the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were as follows:Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, the sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites;of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.These are the families of the Reubenites, and those who were counted of them were 43,730.The son of Pallu: Eliab.The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram who were called by the congregation, who fought against Moses and against Aaron in the group of Korah, when they fought against the Lord,and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up along with Korah, when that group died, when the fire devoured 250 men, so that they became a warning sign.The sons of Korah, however, did not die.

Then Jacob set out on his journey, and went to the land of the people of the east.He looked, and saw a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it, because they watered the flocks from that well. Now the stone on the mouth of the well was large.When all the flocks were gathered there, they would roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would put the stone back in its place on the mouth of the well.Jacob said to them,“ My brothers, where are you from?” And they said,“ We are from Haran.”So he said to them,“ Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” And they said,“ We know him.”And he said to them,“ Is it well with him?” And they said,“ It is well, and here is his daughter Rachel coming with the sheep.”Then he said,“ Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them.”But they said,“ We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.”While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the sheep of his mother’s brother Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and raised his voice and wept.Jacob told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and that he was Rebekah’s son, and she ran and told her father.So when Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Then he told Laban all these things.And Laban said to him,“ You certainly are my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him a month.Then Laban said to Jacob,“ Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?”Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.And Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in figure and appearance.Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said,“ I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”Laban said,“ It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me.”So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him like only a few days because of his love for her.Then Jacob said to Laban,“ Give me my wife, for my time is completed, that I may have relations with her.”So Laban gathered all the people of the place and held a feast.Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to him; and Jacob had relations with her.Laban also gave his female slave Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a slave.So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban,“ What is this that you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you deceived me?”But Laban said,“ It is not the practice in our place to marry off the younger before the firstborn.Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me, for another seven years.”Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.Laban also gave his female slave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her slave.So Jacob had relations with Rachel also, and indeed he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years.

These then are the names of the men who shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

“ On the south side shall be the flag of the camp of Reuben by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur,and his army, their numbered men: 46,500.And those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the leader of the sons of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai,and his army, their numbered men: 59,300.

Then Jacob summoned his sons and said,“ Assemble yourselves, so that I may tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.Gather together and listen, sons of Jacob; Yes, listen to Israel your father.“ Reuben, you are my firstborn, My might and the beginning of my strength, Preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.Uncontrollable as water, you shall not have preeminence, Because you went up to your father’s bed; Then you defiled it— he went up to my couch.“ Simeon and Levi are brothers; Their swords are implements of violence.May my soul not enter into their council; May my glory not be united with their assembly; For in their anger they killed men, And in their self will they lamed oxen.Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel. I will scatter them in Jacob, And disperse them among Israel.“ As for you, Judah, your brothers shall praise you; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father’s sons shall bow down to you.Judah is a lion’s cub; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He crouches, he lies down as a lion, And as a lion, who dares to stir him up?The scepter will not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.He ties his foal to the vine, And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine; He washes his garments in wine, And his robes in the blood of grapes.His eyes are dull from wine, And his teeth white from milk.“ Zebulun will reside at the seashore; And he shall be a harbor for ships, And his flank shall be toward Sidon.“ Issachar is a strong donkey, Lying down between the sheepfolds.When he saw that a resting place was good And that the land was pleasant, He bowed his shoulder to carry burdens, And became a slave at forced labor.“ Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel.Dan shall be a serpent in the way, A horned viper in the path, That bites the horse’s heels, So that its rider falls backward.For Your salvation I wait, Lord.“ As for Gad, a band of raiders shall attack him, But he will attack at their heels.“ As for Asher, his food shall be rich, And he will yield royal delicacies.“ Naphtali is a doe let loose; He utters beautiful words.“ Joseph is a fruitful branch, A fruitful branch by a spring; Its branches hang over a wall.The archers provoked him, And shot at him and were hostile toward him;But his bow remained firm, And his arms were agile, From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob( From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),From the God of your father who helps you, And by the Almighty who blesses you With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.The blessings of your father Have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors Up to the furthest boundary of the everlasting hills; May they be on the head of Joseph, And on the top of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he devours the prey, And in the evening he divides the spoils.”All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He blessed them, every one with the blessing appropriate to him.Then he commanded them and said to them,“ I am about to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is opposite Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.There they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah, there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and there I buried Leah—the field and the cave that is in it, purchased from the sons of Heth.”When Jacob finished commanding his sons, he drew his feet into the bed and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.

Now the sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Reuben were 46,500.

They also lived with their relatives in Jerusalem opposite their other relatives.Ner fathered Kish, Kish fathered Saul, and Saul fathered Jonathan, Malchi shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal.The son of Jonathan was Merib baal, and Merib baal fathered Micah.The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tarea, and Ahaz.Ahaz fathered Jehoaddah, Jehoaddah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri fathered Moza.Moza fathered Binea; Raphah was his son, Eleasah, his son, and Azel, his son.Azel had six sons, and these were their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan.

All these were among the sons of Benjamin.

“ May Reuben live and not die, Nor may his people be few.”

Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and named him Reuben, for she said,“ Because the Lord has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.”

And it came about, while Israel was living in that land, that Reuben went and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Now there were twelve sons of Jacob—the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;
