Reuben (Bible)
Reuben/Re'uven (
Hebrew: רְאוּבֵן,
Standard Tiberian ) was, according to the
Book of Genesis, the first son of
Jacob and of
Leah, and the founder of the
Israelite Tribe of
Reuben; however
Biblical scholars view this as postdiction, an
eponymous metaphor providing an
aetiology of the connectedness of the tribe to others in the Israelite confederation. With Leah as a
matriarch, Biblical scholars regard the tribe as having been believed by the text's authors to have been part of the original Israelite confederation, though an ancient
Minaean inscription refers to an
Arabian tribe named r-b-n (vowels not specified). The text of the
Torah gives two different
etymologies for the name of Reuben, which
textual scholars attribute to different sources - one to the
Yahwist and the other to the
Elohist; the first explanation given by the Torah is that the name refers to
Yahweh having witnessed Leah's misery, in regard to her status as the less-favourite of Jacob's wives, implying that the
etymology of Reuben is that it derives from raa beonyi, meaning he has seen my misery; the second explanation is that the name refers to Leah's hope that Reuben's birth will make Jacob love her, implying a derivation from yeehabani, meaning he will love me. Another Hebrew phrase to which Reuben is particularly close is ra'a ben, meaning behold, a son, which is how
classical rabbinical literature interpreted it, although some of these sources argue that Leah was using the term to make an implied distinction between Reuben and
Esau, his uncle. Some scholars suspect that the final consonant may originally have been
an l (similar to
an n in the
early Hebrew alphabet), and
Josephus rendered the name as Reubel; it is thus possible that Reuben's name is cognate with the
arabic term Ra'abil, meaning wolves.

Ruben
Ruben was de oudste zoon van de bijbelse
aartsvader Jakob. Ruben's moeder Lea presenteerde Ruben als eerstgeborene aan Jakob in de hoop dat hij haar zou verkiezen boven Rachel. Zijn naam betekent in het
Hebreeuws: zie, een zoon (ru = 'zie een'/ ben = 'zoon van').Jakob was bedrogen door zijn schoonvader Laban, die hem zijn oudste (gesluierde) dochter Lea had gegeven in plaats van
Rachel van wie hij de hand had gevraagd. Jakob behandelde daarom de eerste zoon van Rachel,
Jozef, als eerstgeborene, hoewel hij al de elfde van Jakobs twaalf zonen was. Toen Jozef door zijn jaloerse broers gedood dreigde te worden, kwam Ruben voor hem op. Hij kon echter niet verhinderen dat Jozef naar
Egypte verkocht werd.

Руви́м (Реуве́н) — старший сын
Иакова от его жены
Лии (Быт., 29:32) и один из 12
патриархов или родоначальников колен еврейского народа. Это был человек невоздержанный (он оскорбил ложе отца, «преспав» с наложницей его
Валлой — Быт. 35:22), но добрый, что он доказал усилиями спасти
Иосифа от ярости братьев (Быт. 37:21, 22).
