Issachar · Patriarchal
Issachar is born to Leah, who speaks of God giving her wages Genesis 30:17-18.
Jacob pictures Issachar as strong yet bent under burdens, and Moses joins Issachar with Zebulun in a blessing of rejoicing and worship Genesis 49:14-15 Deuteronomy 33:18-19.
Issachar is not in the line to Jesus.
