Reuben was Jacob's first son. The Bible says that Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah (Genesis 29:30). The Lord saw that Leah was unloved, and He made her fruitful. However, Rachel was barren (Genesis 29:31). Leah, upon giving birth to Jacob's first son, declared that God had seen her affliction. Meaning: "Behold, a son." "Reuben" derives from ...
4 days ago · The different terms used in the Bible for heaven and hell— sheol, hades, gehenna, the lake of fire, paradise, and Abraham’s bosom —are the subject of some debate and can be hard to keep straight. The word paradise is used as a synonym for heaven (2 Corinthians 12:3–4; Revelation 2:7).
In Matthew 7:13-14 , Jesus contrasts two ways of life using the metaphors of a "narrow gate" and "wide gate." The narrow gate represents a path of genuine, sacrificial love from the heart, while the wide gate refers to living with outward righteousness that hides inner corruption.

1. Judah.
The tribe of kings, and the most preeminent of the 12 tribes in the biblical narrative. Judah “prevailed over his brothers,” (1 Chronicles 5:2), and the tribe’s territory included the city of Jerusalem and the holy temple. King David was part of this tribe, and his royal line ruled in Jerusalem from around 1,000 BC until the city fell to Babylonian forces in 586 BC. Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and the capital of the Southern Kingdom after the nation divided. Jesus is of the tribe of J...
2. Reuben.
Descended from Jacob’s firstborn, whom Jacob said was as “uncontrolled as water” (Genesis 49:4). The tribe chose not to settle in the Promised Land, and instead asked Moses for some of the territory that they conquered east of the Jordan River. Moses agreed to this, on the condition that they assist the western tribes in conquering Canaan (Numbers 32:28–32). They did so, but they did not assist the other tribes in battle during the period of judges (Judges 5:16), and the tribe falls into scri...
3. Simeon.
The man Simeon (with his brother Levi) slaughtered the men of an entire city to avenge his sister (Genesis 34:25–31). The tribe’s portion of land was within the midst of Judah’s territory (Joshua 19:1); however, Simeon did not grow as rapidly as Judah and seems to have dispersed across multiple territories (1 Chronicles 4:38–43; 2 Chronicles 15:8–9). This is consistent with Jacob’s prophecy concerning Simeon and his brother Levi: “I will disperse them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.”
Kind of. Remember, Levi didn’t receive tribal territory like the other tribes. Also, Joseph’s sons were considered heads of their own tribes—both of which received an inheritance of land. In some lists, Joseph is counted as one of the 12 (Genesis 49; Deuteronomy 33). In others, Levi isn’t counted, and Ephraim and Manasseh are considered distinct tr...
Quick note: I made a weird mistake on this. Reuben didn’t sleep with Zilpah, he slept with Bilhah. (Which is just as messed up.) When we update this infographic, that’ll get fixed. =)
After Solomon’s reign, the kingdom of Israel divides. Some tribes remain loyal to David’s bloodline (the Southern Kingdom), but most tribes rebel and form their own new nation (the Northern Kingdom). The prophet Ahijah illustrates this by tearing his cloak into 12 pieces and giving 10 pieces to Jeroboam, who would rule the Northern Kingdom. He says...
