Cross-References
So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, "The Lord has noticed my misery, and now my husband will love me."
These are the names of the descendants of Israel—the sons of Jacob—who went to Egypt: Reuben was Jacob's oldest son.
"No, my father," he said. "This one is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head."
This is the number of men twenty years old or older who were able to go to war, as their names were listed in the records of their clans and families:
| Tribe | Number |
|---|---|
| Reuben (Jacob's oldest son) | 46,500 Numbers 26:5 These were the clans descended from the sons of Reuben, Jacob's oldest son: The Hanochite clan, named after their ancestor Hanoch. The Palluite clan, named after their ancestor Pallu. Deuteronomy 21:17 He must recognize the rights of his oldest son, the son of the wife he does not love, by giving him a double portion. He is the first son of his father's virility, and the rights of the firstborn belong to him. 1 Chronicles 2:1 The sons of Israel were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, 1 Chronicles 5:1 The oldest son of Israel was Reuben. But since he dishonored his father by sleeping with one of his father's concubines, his birthright was given to the sons of his brother Joseph. For this reason, Reuben is not listed in the genealogical records as the firstborn son. 1 Chronicles 5:3 The sons of Reuben, the oldest son of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. Psalms 78:51 He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family, the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt. Gill's Notes on the BibleMy mouth shall speak of wisdom,.... Or "wisdoms" m; of Christ, who is so called, Proverbs 1:20. He being as a divine Person the wisdom of God, and the only wise God; and having all the treasures of wisdom in him, as man and Mediator: of him the prophet spake, and of him the apostles and all Gospel ministers speak; of the glories of his Person, of the fulness of his grace, and of his wonderful works; especially of that of redemption and salvation by him, in which there is an abounding of wisdom and prudence. Or the Gospel may be meant, and all the truths of it, in which there is a glorious display of divine wisdom; it is the wisdom of God in a mystery; hidden and ancient wisdom; and which, when truly understood, makes a man wise unto salvation; see 1 Corinthians 2:6; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding; or "understandings" n; and this is in order to the former; what the heart meditates the mouth speaks. If the heart meditates on understanding, the mouth will speak of wisdom; and a man should think before he speaks, especially the ministers of the Gospel: they ought to meditate on the word of God, the Gospel, and the truths of it, that their profiling may appear to all; that they may understand divine things themselves, and deliver them out to the understanding of others: their concern should be, that through meditation they may have a good treasure of wisdom and knowledge in their hearts, that out of it they may bring forth things pleasant and profitable unto others. m ××××ת "sapientias", Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus, Cocceius, Gejerus, Michaelis. n ת××× ×ת "intelligentias", Pagninus, Montanus. Barnes' Notes on the BibleMy mouth shall speak of wisdom - That is, I will utter sentiments that are wise, or that are of importance to all; sentiments that will enable all to take a just view of the subject on which I speak. This indicates âconfidenceâ in what he was about to utter, as being eminently deserving of attention. And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding - What I reflect on, and what I give utterance to, in the matter under consideration. The idea is, that he had meditated on the subject, as to what was real wisdom in the matter, and that he would now give utterance to the result of his meditations. It was not wisdom in general, or intelligence or understanding as such on which he designed to express the results of his thoughts, but it was only in respect to the proper value to be attached to wealth, and as to the fact of its causing fear Psalms 49:5 in those who were not possessed of it, and who might be subjected to the oppressive acts of those who were rich.
