About

The ninth son of Jacob, born to Leah (Genesis 30:17-18). His name means 'reward' or 'wages.' The tribe of Issachar settled in the fertile Jezreel Valley. In 1 Chronicles 12:32, the men of Issachar are described as those 'who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do' — basically the strategic thinkers of the nation.
