Jashub

The umbrella collects two men named Jashub — one a son of Issachar whose name heads a tribal family, the other a son of Bani who took a foreign wife in Ezra's reform. Both appear only in lists.

Son of Issachar

Jashub stands among the four sons of Issachar in the patriarchal migration to Egypt: "And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puvah, and Jashub, and Shimron" (Gen 46:13). The same four names recur in the Chronicler's tribal genealogy: "And of the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four" (1Ch 7:1). His descendants form one of the families counted in the second wilderness census of Issachar: "of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites" (Num 26:24).

Of the Family of Bani

A second Jashub appears in Ezra's roll of those who had married foreign women. He is named in the Bani cluster: "And of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, Jeremoth" (Ezra 10:29). The list belongs to the section of Ezra 10 that records the men required to put away their foreign wives, and Jashub is one of them.
