or [or Jash'ub] (Heb. Yashub', יָשׁוּב , returner; once by error, יָשַׁיב, Yashib', in text 1 Chronicles 7:1; Samar. Pent. in Numbers Yosheb', יושב; Sept. Ι᾿ασούβ ), the name of two men, or, perhaps, the last is rather a place. (See SHEAR-JASHUB).
1. The third named of the four sons of Issachar (1 Chronicles 7:1; Numbers 26:24); called JOB (perhaps by contraction or corruption [or possibly only by substitution. both having the same meaning, one from שׂוּב, and the other from אוּב ]) in the parallel passage (Genesis 46:13). B.C. 1856. His descendants were called JASHUBITES (Hebrew Yashubi',
יָשֻׁבַי , Sept. Ι᾿ασουβί, Numbers 26:24).
2. One of the "sons" (? former residents) of Bani, who divorced his Gentile wife after the Exile (Ezra 10:29). B.C. 459.
