These are the names of the sons of Israel( that is, Jacob) who moved to Egypt with their father, each with his family:Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.In all, Jacob had seventy descendants in Egypt, including Joseph, who was already there.

“ List all the men of Israel twenty years old and older, just as the Lord commanded Moses.” This is the record of all the descendants of Israel who came out of Egypt.These were the clans descended from the sons of Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son: The Hanochite clan, named after their ancestor Hanoch. The Palluite clan, named after their ancestor Pallu.The Hezronite clan, named after their ancestor Hezron. The Carmite clan, named after their ancestor Carmi.These were the clans of Reuben. Their registered troops numbered 43,730.Pallu was the ancestor of Eliab,and Eliab was the father of Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. This Dathan and Abiram are the same community leaders who conspired with Korah against Moses and Aaron, rebelling against the Lord.But the earth opened up its mouth and swallowed them with Korah, and fire devoured 250 of their followers. This served as a warning to the entire nation of Israel.However, the sons of Korah did not die that day.

Then Jacob hurried on, finally arriving in the land of the east.He saw a well in the distance. Three flocks of sheep and goats lay in an open field beside it, waiting to be watered. But a heavy stone covered the mouth of the well.It was the custom there to wait for all the flocks to arrive before removing the stone and watering the animals. Afterward the stone would be placed back over the mouth of the well.Jacob went over to the shepherds and asked,“ Where are you from, my friends?”“ We are from Haran,” they answered.“ Do you know a man there named Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” he asked.“ Yes, we do,” they replied.“ Is he doing well?” Jacob asked.“ Yes, he’s well,” they answered.“ Look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the flock now.”Jacob said,“ Look, it’s still broad daylight— too early to round up the animals. Why don’t you water the sheep and goats so they can get back out to pasture?”“ We can’t water the animals until all the flocks have arrived,” they replied.“ Then the shepherds move the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water all the sheep and goats.”Jacob was still talking with them when Rachel arrived with her father’s flock, for she was a shepherd.And because Rachel was his cousin— the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother— and because the sheep and goats belonged to his uncle Laban, Jacob went over to the well and moved the stone from its mouth and watered his uncle’s flock.Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and he wept aloud.He explained to Rachel that he was her cousin on her father’s side— the son of her aunt Rebekah. So Rachel quickly ran and told her father, Laban.As soon as Laban heard that his nephew Jacob had arrived, he ran out to meet him. He embraced and kissed him and brought him home. When Jacob had told him his story,Laban exclaimed,“ You really are my own flesh and blood!” After Jacob had stayed with Laban for about a month,Laban said to him,“ You shouldn’t work for me without pay just because we are relatives. Tell me how much your wages should be.”Now Laban had two daughters. The older daughter was named Leah, and the younger one was Rachel.There was no sparkle in Leah’s eyes, but Rachel had a beautiful figure and a lovely face.Since Jacob was in love with Rachel, he told her father,“ I’ll work for you for seven years if you’ll give me Rachel, your younger daughter, as my wife.”“ Agreed!” Laban replied.“ I’d rather give her to you than to anyone else. Stay and work with me.”So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days.Finally, the time came for him to marry her.“ I have fulfilled my agreement,” Jacob said to Laban.“ Now give me my wife so I can sleep with her.”So Laban invited everyone in the neighborhood and prepared a wedding feast.But that night, when it was dark, Laban took Leah to Jacob, and he slept with her.( Laban had given Leah a servant, Zilpah, to be her maid.)But when Jacob woke up in the morning— it was Leah!“ What have you done to me?” Jacob raged at Laban.“ I worked seven years for Rachel! Why have you tricked me?”“ It’s not our custom here to marry off a younger daughter ahead of the firstborn,” Laban replied.“ But wait until the bridal week is over; then we’ll give you Rachel, too— provided you promise to work another seven years for me.”So Jacob agreed to work seven more years. A week after Jacob had married Leah, Laban gave him Rachel, too.( Laban gave Rachel a servant, Bilhah, to be her maid.)So Jacob slept with Rachel, too, and he loved her much more than Leah. He then stayed and worked for Laban the additional seven years.

Then Jacob called together all his sons and said,“ Gather around me, and I will tell you what will happen to each of you in the days to come.“ Come and listen, you sons of Jacob; listen to Israel, your father.“ Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, the child of my vigorous youth. You are first in rank and first in power.But you are as unruly as a flood, and you will be first no longer. For you went to bed with my wife; you defiled my marriage couch.“ Simeon and Levi are two of a kind; their weapons are instruments of violence.May I never join in their meetings; may I never be a party to their plans. For in their anger they murdered men, and they crippled oxen just for sport.A curse on their anger, for it is fierce; a curse on their wrath, for it is cruel. I will scatter them among the descendants of Jacob; I will disperse them throughout Israel.“ Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will grasp your enemies by the neck. All your relatives will bow before you.Judah, my son, is a young lion that has finished eating its prey. Like a lion he crouches and lies down; like a lioness— who dares to rouse him?The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants, until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will honor.He ties his foal to a grapevine, the colt of his donkey to a choice vine. He washes his clothes in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.“ Zebulun will settle by the seashore and will be a harbor for ships; his borders will extend to Sidon.“ Issachar is a sturdy donkey, resting between two saddlepacks.When he sees how good the countryside is and how pleasant the land, he will bend his shoulder to the load and submit himself to hard labor.“ Dan will govern his people, like any other tribe in Israel.Dan will be a snake beside the road, a poisonous viper along the path that bites the horse’s hooves so its rider is thrown off.I trust in you for salvation, O Lord!“ Gad will be attacked by marauding bands, but he will attack them when they retreat.“ Asher will dine on rich foods and produce food fit for kings.“ Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.“ Joseph is the foal of a wild donkey, the foal of a wild donkey at a spring— one of the wild donkeys on the ridge.Archers attacked him savagely; they shot at him and harassed him.But his bow remained taut, and his arms were strengthened by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.May the God of your father help you; may the Almighty bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, and blessings of the watery depths below, and blessings of the breasts and womb.May my fatherly blessings on you surpass the blessings of my ancestors, reaching to the heights of the eternal hills. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph, who is a prince among his brothers.“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, devouring his enemies in the morning and dividing his plunder in the evening.”These are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said as he told his sons good bye. He blessed each one with an appropriate message.Then Jacob instructed them,“ Soon I will die and join my ancestors. Bury me with my father and grandfather in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.This is the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in Canaan, that Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite as a permanent burial site.There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried. There Isaac and his wife, Rebekah, are buried. And there I buried Leah.It is the plot of land and the cave that my grandfather Abraham bought from the Hittites.”When Jacob had finished this charge to his sons, he drew his feet into the bed, breathed his last, and joined his ancestors in death.

Moses said this about the tribe of Reuben:“ Let the tribe of Reuben live and not die out, though they are few in number.”

So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said,“ The Lord has noticed my misery, and now my husband will love me.”

While he was living there, Reuben had intercourse with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Jacob soon heard about it. These are the names of the twelve sons of Jacob:The sons of Leah were Reuben( Jacob’s oldest son), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
