These are the names of the sons of Israel who entered Egypt– each man with his household entered with Jacob:Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.All the people who were directly descended from Jacob numbered seventy. But Joseph was already in Egypt,

“ Number the people from twenty years old and upward, just as the LORD commanded Moses and the Israelites who went out from the land of Egypt.”Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. The Reubenites: from Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; from Pallu, the family of the Palluites;from Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; from Carmi, the family of the Carmites.These were the families of the Reubenites; and those numbered of them were 43,730.Pallu’s descendant was Eliab.Eliab’s descendants were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. It was Dathan and Abiram who as leaders of the community rebelled against Moses and Aaron with the followers of Korah when they rebelled against the LORD.The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and Korah at the time that company died, when the fire consumed 250 men. So they became a warning.But the descendants of Korah did not die.

So Jacob moved on and came to the land of the eastern people.He saw in the field a well with three flocks of sheep lying beside it, because the flocks were watered from that well. Now a large stone covered the mouth of the well.When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone off the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would put the stone back in its place over the well’s mouth.Jacob asked them,“ My brothers, where are you from?” They replied,“ We’re from Haran.”So he said to them,“ Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?”“ We know him,” they said.“ Is he well?” Jacob asked. They replied,“ He is well. Now look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”Then Jacob said,“ Since it is still the middle of the day, it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. You should water the sheep and then go and let them graze some more.”“ We can’t,” they said,“ until all the flocks are gathered and the stone is rolled off the mouth of the well. Then we water the sheep.”While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was tending them.When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his uncle Laban, and the sheep of his uncle Laban, he went over and rolled the stone off the mouth of the well and watered the sheep of his uncle Laban.Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep loudly.When Jacob explained to Rachel that he was a relative of her father and the son of Rebekah, she ran and told her father.When Laban heard this news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he rushed out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban how he was related to him.Then Laban said to him,“ You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” So Jacob stayed with him for a month.Then Laban said to Jacob,“ Should you work for me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me what your wages should be.”( Now Laban had two daughters; the older one was named Leah, and the younger one Rachel.Leah’s eyes were tender, but Rachel had a lovely figure and beautiful appearance.)Since Jacob had fallen in love with Rachel, he said,“ I’ll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel.”Laban replied,“ I’d rather give her to you than to another man. Stay with me.”So Jacob worked for seven years to acquire Rachel. But they seemed like only a few days to him because his love for her was so great.Finally Jacob said to Laban,“ Give me my wife, for my time of service is up. I want to have marital relations with her.”So Laban invited all the people of that place and prepared a feast.In the evening he brought his daughter Leah to Jacob, and Jacob had marital relations with her.( Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.)In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban,“ What in the world have you done to me! Didn’t I work for you in exchange for Rachel? Why have you tricked me?”“ It is not our custom here,” Laban replied,“ to give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn.Complete my older daughter’s bridal week. Then we will give you the younger one too, in exchange for seven more years of work.”Jacob did as Laban said. When Jacob completed Leah’s bridal week, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.( Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.)Jacob had marital relations with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban for seven more years.

Now these are the names of the men who are to help you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;

“ On the south will be the divisions of the camp of Reuben under their standard. The leader of the people of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur.Those numbered in his division are 46,500.Those who will be camping next to them are the tribe of Simeon. The leader of the people of Simeon is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.Those numbered in his division are 59,300.

Jacob called for his sons and said,“ Gather together so I can tell you what will happen to you in the future.“ Assemble and listen, you sons of Jacob; listen to Israel, your father.Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might and the beginning of my strength, outstanding in dignity, outstanding in power.You are destructive like water and will not excel, for you got on your father’s bed, then you defiled it– he got on my couch!Simeon and Levi are brothers, weapons of violence are their knives!O my soul, do not come into their council, do not be united to their assembly, my heart, for in their anger they have killed men, and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their fury, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel!Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies, your father’s sons will bow down before you.You are a lion’s cub, Judah, from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He crouches and lies down like a lion; like a lioness– who will rouse him?The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs; the nations will obey him.Binding his foal to the vine, and his colt to the choicest vine, he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.His eyes will be dark from wine, and his teeth white from milk.Zebulun will live by the haven of the sea and become a haven for ships; his border will extend to Sidon.Issachar is a strong-boned donkey lying down between two saddlebags.When he sees a good resting place, and the pleasant land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and become a slave laborer.Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.May Dan be a snake beside the road, a viper by the path, that bites the heels of the horse so that its rider falls backward.I wait for your deliverance, O LORD.Gad will be raided by marauding bands, but he will attack them at their heels.Asher’s food will be rich, and he will provide delicacies to royalty.Naphtali is a free running doe, he speaks delightful words.Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough near a spring whose branches climb over the wall.The archers will attack him, they will shoot at him and oppose him.But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,because of the God of your father, who will help you, because of the sovereign God, who will bless you with blessings from the sky above, blessings from the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and womb.The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the eternal mountains or the desirable things of the age-old hills. They will be on the head of Joseph and on the brow of the prince of his brothers.Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning devouring the prey, and in the evening dividing the plunder.”These are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He gave each of them an appropriate blessing.Then he instructed them,“ I am about to go to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.It is the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought for a burial plot from Ephron the Hittite.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 in it were acquired from the sons of Heth.”When Jacob finished giving these instructions to his sons, he pulled his feet up onto the bed, breathed his last breath, and went to his people.

And they were as follows: The descendants of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel: According to the records of their clans and families, all the males twenty years old or older who could serve in the army were listed by name individually.Those of them who were numbered from the tribe of Reuben were 46, 500.

May Reuben live and not die, and may his people multiply.

So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said,“ The LORD has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. Surely my husband will love me now.”

While Israel was living in that land, Reuben had sexual relations with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:The sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, as well as Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
