Reuben is the first son of Jacob and Leah. He was born in Padanaram. He is the head of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. His name means behold a son. He gathered some mandrakes for his mother, who used them to purchase some affectionate time with Jacob. Reuben also had sexual relations with Bilhah, his father's third wife. He also tried to save Joseph from being killed by his brothers, and he reminded his brothers of that incident when they stood before Joseph. When the sons of Jacob returned from Egypt, Simeon did not return with them, and he remained behind as collateral so that the brothers would return with Benjamin. Jacob requested his sons return to Egypt for more food when the food supply dwindled. Reuben told his father that they could not go back to Egypt without Benjamin. Jacob refused to send Benjamin, but Reuben told Jacob to kill his two sons if he failed to return with Benjamin. Reuben had four sons, but perhaps he only had two sons when he made that statement. The names of his sons are Hanoch, Phallu, Hezron, and Carmi. Reuben was the firstborn son, but he did not receive the firstborn's blessing. Perhaps Jacob denied him that right because he defiled his father's bed with Bilhah. Reuben and his sons traveled with his father Jacob when he relocated to Egypt.
