She said, “God has given me a reward because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named her son Issachar.
From the family of Issachar there were 200 wise leaders. These men understood the right thing for Israel to do at the right time. Their relatives were with them and under their command.
Moses said this about Zebulun: “Zebulun, be happy when you go out. Issachar, be happy in your tents at home.
Issachar’s sons were Tola, Puah, Job, and Shimron.
His firstborn son was Reuben, whose mother was Leah. Jacob’s other sons by Leah were Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Then God allowed Leah to become pregnant again. She gave birth to a fifth son.
Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to a sixth son.
