Simeon
The second son of Jacob and Leah, and the patriarch of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Simeon was the second son of Jacob and Leah, known for his role in the vengeance against Shechem and his later imprisonment in Egypt. The name refers both to this patriarch and to the tribe of Israel that descended from him. His descendants were eventually allotted territory within the inheritance of Judah, and the tribe is later mentioned in the prophetic visions of Ezekiel and the apocalyptic imagery of Revelation.
