Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words רָאָה (ra'ah, meaning "to see") and בֵּן (ben, meaning "son").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for Reuben is G4502 (Ρουβήν, Roubēn), which appears in the New Testament, particularly in genealogical contexts and references to the tribes of Israel (e.g., Matthew 1:2, Revelation 7:5). Usage: Reuben is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, primarily referring to the firstborn son of Jacob and Leah, as well as the tribe that descended from him. Context: • Reuben as a Person: Reuben is the firstborn son of Jacob and Leah, as recorded in Genesis 29:32. Leah named him Reuben, saying, "Because the LORD has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me." Reuben's actions are noted in several key biblical narratives. He intervened to save Joseph from being killed by his brothers, suggesting instead that they throw him into a pit (Genesis 37:21-22). However, he later returned to find Joseph sold into slavery. Reuben also committed a grave sin by sleeping with Bilhah, his father's concubine, which led to his loss of the birthright (Genesis 35:22; 49:3-4).
