Now these are the names of the children of Israel who came to Egypt; each man and his household came with Jacob:Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.All those who were descendants of Jacob were seventy persons( for Joseph was in Egypt already).

“ Take a census of the people from twenty years old and above, just as the Lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt.”Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. The children of Reuben were: 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: those who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty.And the son of Pallu was Eliab.The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram, representatives of the congregation, who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the Lord;and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah when that company died, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign.Nevertheless the children of Korah did not die.

So Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the East.And he looked, and saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well’s mouth.Now all the flocks would be gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the well’s mouth, water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the well’s mouth.And Jacob said to them,“ My brethren, where are you from?” And they said,“ We are from Haran.”Then he said to them,“ Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” And they said,“ We know him.”So he said to them,“ Is he well?” And they said,“ He is well. And look, his daughter Rachel is coming with the sheep.”Then he said,“ Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”But they said,“ We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.”Now while he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative and that he was Rebekah’s son. So she ran and told her father.Then it came to pass, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things.And Laban said to him,“ Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” And he stayed with him for a month.Then Laban said to Jacob,“ Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?”Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said,“ I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”And Laban said,“ It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.Then Jacob said to Laban,“ Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.Now it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid.So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban,“ What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?”And Laban said,“ It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you will serve with me still another seven years.”Then Jacob did so and fulfilled her week. So he gave him his daughter Rachel as wife also.And Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maid.Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban still another seven years.

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

“ On the south side shall be the standard of the forces with Reuben according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.”And his army was numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred.“ Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon, and the leader of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.”And his army was numbered at fifty-nine thousand three hundred.

And Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:“ Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.“ Reuben, you are my firstborn, My might and the beginning of my strength, The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power.Unstable as water, you shall not excel, Because you went up to your father’s bed; Then you defiled it— He went up to my couch.“ Simeon and Levi are brothers; Instruments of cruelty are in their dwelling place.Let not my soul enter their council; Let not my honor be united to their assembly; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox.Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob And scatter them in Israel.“ Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father’s children shall bow down before you.Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him?The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.Binding his donkey to the vine, And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, He washed his garments in wine, And his clothes in the blood of grapes.His eyes are darker than wine, And his teeth whiter than milk.“ Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea; He shall become a haven for ships, And his border shall adjoin Sidon.“ Issachar is a strong donkey, Lying down between two burdens;He saw that rest was good, And that the land was pleasant; He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, And became a band of slaves.“ Dan shall judge his people As one of the tribes of Israel.Dan shall be a serpent by the way, A viper by the path, That bites the horse’s heels So that its rider shall fall backward.I have waited for your salvation, O Lord!“ Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him, But he shall triumph at last.“ Bread from Asher shall be rich, And he shall yield royal dainties.“ Naphtali is a deer let loose; He uses beautiful words.“ Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a well; His branches run over the wall.The archers have bitterly grieved him, Shot at him and hated him.But his bow remained in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob( From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),By the God of your father who will help you, And by the Almighty who will bless 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 excelled the blessings of my ancestors, Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at night he shall divide the spoil.”All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them. And he blessed them; he blessed each one according to his own blessing.Then he charged them and said to them:“ I am 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 before Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite as a possession for a burial place.There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.The field and the cave that is there were purchased from the sons of Heth.”And when Jacob had finished commanding his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.

Now the children of Reuben, Israel’s oldest son, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Reuben were forty-six thousand five hundred.

Now Benjamin begot Bela his firstborn, Ashbel the second, Aharah the third,Nohah the fourth, and Rapha the fifth.The sons of Bela were Addar, Gera, Abihud,Abishua, Naaman, Ahoah,Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram.These are the sons of Ehud, who were the heads of the fathers’ houses of the inhabitants of Geba, and who forced them to move to Manahath:Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera who forced them to move.

They also dwelt alongside their relatives in Jerusalem, with their brethren.Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal.The son of Jonathan was Merib-Baal, and Merib-Baal begot Micah.The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tarea, and Ahaz.And Ahaz begot Jehoaddah; Jehoaddah begot Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begot Moza.Moza begot Binea, Raphah his son, Eleasah his son, and Azel his son.Azel had six sons whose names were these: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel.And the sons of Eshek his brother were Ulam his firstborn, Jeush the second, and Eliphelet the third.The sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor— archers. They had many sons and grandsons, one hundred and fifty in all. These were all sons of Benjamin.

“ Let Reuben live, and not die, Nor let his men be few.”

So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said,“ The Lord has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.”

And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;

These are the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. These are the families of Reuben.And the sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. These are the families of Simeon.These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were one hundred and thirty-seven.The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimi according to their families.And the sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath were one hundred and thirty-three.
