The Sons of Jacob

(1 Chronicles 2:1–2)

Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder. 22 While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it.

Jacob had twelve sons:

23 

• The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 
• The sons of Rachel [were] Joseph and Benjamin.
25 
• The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah [were] Dan and Naphtali.
26 
• And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah [were] Gad and Asher.

These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
