²⁵ And on the limit of Simeon, from the east side to the west side: Issachar, one part.

¹⁷ For Issachar the fourth heritage came out, for the children of Issachar by their families;

¹⁸ And their limit was to Jezreel and Chesulloth and Shunem

¹⁹ And Hapharaim and Shion and Anaharath

²⁰ And Rabbith and Kishion and Ebez

²¹ And Remeth and En-gannim and En-haddah and Beth-pazzez;

²² And their limit goes as far as Tabor and Shahazimah and Beth-shemesh, ending at Jordan; sixteen towns with their unwalled places.

²³ This is the heritage of the tribe of the children of Issachar by their families, these towns with their unwalled places.

¹⁴ Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

¹⁵ But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

¹⁶ In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

¹⁷ And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.

¹⁸ Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.
