What does the Bible say about the sons of Jacob?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that Jacob had twelve sons born from his wives and their handmaids, representing the tribes of Israel.

In Genesis 35, we read that Jacob, later named Israel, had twelve sons: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. These sons represent the foundational tribes of Israel, with their lineage significant in biblical history. The narrative emphasizes the distinction between Jacob and Israel, reflecting on the transformation of Jacob’s character and God’s covenantal promise through these twelve sons.
