From BibleWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The third son of Jacob by Leah. The origin of the name is found in Leah's words (Gen 29:34), "This time will my husband be joined [Heb. yillaveh] unto me." He is mentioned as taking a prominent part in avenging his sister Dinah (Gen 34:25ff). He and his three sons (Gershon, Kohath, and Merari) went down with Jacob (Gen 46:11) into Egypt, where he died at the age of one hundred and thirty-seven years (Ex 6:16).
