Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words יֵשׁ (yesh, meaning "there is") and שָׂכָר (sakar, meaning "wages" or "reward").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2466 (Ἰσσαχάρ, Issachar): This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew יִשָּׂשׂכָר, used in the Septuagint and the New Testament genealogies to refer to the patriarch Issachar and his descendants. The Greek form maintains the connection to the Hebrew meaning and lineage.

Usage: Issachar is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to both a person and a tribe. It is the name of the ninth son of Jacob and the fifth son of Leah, as well as the tribe that descended from him.

Context: • Issachar in the Patriarchal Narrative: Issachar is introduced in Genesis 30:17-18, where Leah, Jacob's wife, names him, expressing gratitude for the reward of another son. Leah's statement, "God has given me my wages because I gave my servant to my husband," reflects the meaning of Issachar's name.
• Blessing and Prophecy: In Genesis 49:14-15, Jacob blesses Issachar, describing him as a "strong donkey lying down between the sheepfolds." This imagery suggests strength and a willingness to bear burdens, but also a tendency towards servitude. Moses' blessing in Deuteronomy 33:18-19 highlights Issachar's joy in their tents and their participation in sacrifices.
• Tribal Territory and Role: The tribe of Issachar settled in a fertile region of Canaan, known for its agricultural productivity. This area included the Jezreel Valley, a strategic and prosperous location. The tribe played a significant role in Israel's history, providing leaders and warriors, as seen in Judges 5:15 and 1 Chronicles 7:1-5.
• Historical Significance: Issachar's descendants were known for their wisdom and understanding of the times, as noted in 1 Chronicles 12:32, where the "men of Issachar" are described as having insight into what Israel should do. This reputation for discernment and strategic thinking contributed to their influence in the nation.
• New Testament Reference: While Issachar is not directly mentioned in the New Testament, the tribe's legacy and characteristics are reflected in the broader narrative of Israel's history and identity.
