Iob/Job, son of Issachar (Genesis 46:13)
This personal name appears in the list of Jacob's descendants who went to Egypt, listed as one of Issachar's sons. However, Numbers 26:24, 1 Chronicles 7:1, and the Samaritan Pentateuch read Jashub instead, suggesting textual variation or possible scribal error. The Septuagint supports the reading Iasouph/Iasouḇ, aligning with the alternate tradition. The name's meaning and etymology remain uncertain due to these textual difficulties.
Senses
