Old Testament
Jashub
A son of Issachar and ancestor of the Jashubite clan, also appearing as a post-exilic returnee.
Jashub is first identified in Genesis as a son of Issachar and a grandson of Jacob, establishing him as a patriarch of a clan within the tribe of Issachar. The name appears again in the book of Ezra, referring to a different individual who was among those who took foreign wives during the post-exilic period. These references highlight the genealogical continuity of the tribes of Israel and the specific challenges faced by the remnant returning from Babylonian captivity.
