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).

יָשֻׁבַי , Sept. Ι᾿ασουβί, Numbers 26:24).
