Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from רְאוּבֵן (Reuben), the firstborn son of Jacob and Leah.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the term "Reubenite" in the Strong's Concordance, as the Greek New Testament does not specifically mention the tribe of Reuben in the same context as the Hebrew Bible. However, the name "Reuben" itself is referenced in genealogical contexts, such as in the listing of the twelve tribes of Israel in Revelation 7:5.

Usage: The term רְאוּבֵנִי is used to refer to individuals belonging to the tribe of Reuben, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This tribe is named after Reuben, the eldest son of Jacob.

Context: The Reubenites were descendants of Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob and Leah. As the firstborn, Reuben was initially entitled to a double portion of inheritance and leadership within the family. However, due to his transgression with Bilhah, his father's concubine, Reuben lost his birthright, which was subsequently divided among the tribes of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) and Judah (1 Chronicles 5:1-2).

The tribe of Reuben settled on the eastern side of the Jordan River, in the region of Gilead, after the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and subsequent conquest of Canaan. This territory was shared with the tribes of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The Reubenites were known for their pastoral lifestyle, as the land they inhabited was suitable for livestock.

Throughout biblical history, the Reubenites played various roles. In the wilderness, they were part of the encampment on the south side of the Tabernacle (Numbers 2:10). During the conquest of Canaan, they assisted their fellow Israelites in battle before returning to their allotted land (Joshua 22:1-6). The Reubenites also participated in the construction of an altar by the Jordan River, which initially caused a misunderstanding with the other tribes but was later resolved peacefully (Joshua 22:10-34).

In the time of the Judges, the Reubenites are mentioned in the Song of Deborah, where they are criticized for their indecision during a time of conflict (Judges 5:15-16). The tribe's history is marked by periods of conflict and cooperation with neighboring tribes and nations.
