Exodus 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 1:3

Issachar, Zebulun
The other two sons of Jacob, by Leah:

Benjamin;
the youngest of all Jacob's sons is placed here, being his son by his beloved wife Rachel. Joseph is not put into the account, because he did not go into Egypt with Jacob.

Exodus 1:3 In-Context

1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel who came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin,
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 And all the souls who came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls, for Joseph was in Egypt already.
