Strong's Lexicon Rhoubén: Reuben Original Word: Ῥουβήν Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew רְאוּבֵן (Re'uven) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H7205 (רְאוּבֵן, Re'uven) Usage: The name Reuben means "behold, a son" in Hebrew. In the New Testament, it refers to the firstborn son of Jacob and Leah, and the ancestor of the tribe of Reuben, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Reuben was the firstborn of Jacob, making him a significant figure in the patriarchal narratives of the Old Testament. As the eldest son, Reuben held a position of prominence and responsibility. However, his actions, such as sleeping with his father's concubine Bilhah (Genesis 35:22), led to a loss of his birthright, which was given to Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh (1 Chronicles 5:1-2). The tribe of Reuben settled east of the Jordan River, in a region known for its pastoral lands.
