¹⁴ Issachar is a strong ass stretched out among the flocks:

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.

³² And of the children of Issachar, there were two hundred chiefs, men who had expert knowledge of the times and what it was best for Israel to do, and all their brothers were under their orders.

¹⁸ And of Zebulun he said, Be glad, Zebulun, in your going out; and, Issachar, in your tents.

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.

¹⁵ Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart.

¹⁶ Why did you keep quiet among the sheep, hearing nothing but the watchers piping to the flocks?

¹ Now after Abimelech, Tola, the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, became the saviour of Israel; he was living in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.
