The Sons of Israel

22 And it came about, while Israel was living in that land, that (B)Reuben went and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it.

Now there were twelve sons of Jacob— 23 (C)the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; 24 (D)the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin; 25 and (E)the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s female slave, were Dan and Naphtali; 26 and (F)the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s female slave, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
