- Genesis 30:18
Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
Commentary on Genesis 30:182 voices
(Verse 17 and 18.) And God heard Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob her fifth son, and she said, 'God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband.' And she called his name Issachar. The Septuagint Interpreters have given the etymology of this name, it is wages. Not that, as many wrongly read with an added pronoun, it is to be understood as written, which is wages, but the whole name is interpreted, it is wages.
Jerome· Hebrew Questions on GenesisPatristic
God hath given me my hire - שכרי sechari. And she called his name Issachar, יששכר, This word is compounded of יש yesh, Is, and שכר sachar, Wages, from שכר sachar, to content, satisfy, saturate; hence a satisfaction or compensation for work done, etc.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Genesis 49:14
Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.
Commentary on Genesis 49:141 voice
Issachar is a strong ass - חמר גרם chamor garem is properly a strong-limbed ass; couching between two burdens - bearing patiently, as most understand it, the fatigues of agriculture, and submitting to exorbitant taxes rather that exert themselves to drive out the old inhabitants. The two burdens literally mean the two sacks or panniers, one on each side of the animal’s body; and couching down between these refers to the well-known propensity of the ass, whenever wearied or overloaded, to lie down even with its burden on its back.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Genesis 49:15
He saw that his resting place was good and that his land was pleasant, so he bent his shoulder to the burden and submitted to labor as a servant.
Commentary on Genesis 49:151 voice
He saw that rest - The inland portion that was assigned to him between the other tribes. He inclined his shoulder to the load; the Chaldee paraphrase gives this a widely different turn to that given it by most commentators: “He saw his portion that it was good, and the land that it was fruitful; and he shall subdue the provinces of the people, and drive out their inhabitants, and those who are left shall be his servants, and his tributaries.” Grotius understands it nearly in the same way.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Numbers 1:28
From the sons of Issachar, according to the records of their clans and families, counting the names of all those twenty years of age or older who could serve in the army,
- Numbers 1:29
those registered to the tribe of Issachar numbered 54,400.
- Numbers 2:3
On the east side, toward the sunrise, the divisions of Judah are to camp under their standard:
Commentary on Numbers 2:32 voices
And on the east side, towards the rising of the sun,.... Which rises in the east; or of all; for, as Jarchi observes, that which is "before" is called "Kedem", the east, as the west is called "behind": shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch, throughout their armies; the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun, formed one camp, which had its name from the principal tribe Judah; and this was divided into various regiments and companies, called armies, who severally pitched under one and the same standard.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Judah - This tribe was in the first post, and in their marches led the van, not only because it was the most numerous, but chiefly because Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, was to descend from it: Yea, from the loins of Nahshon, who is here appointed the chief captain of it.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
- Numbers 2:5
The tribe of Issachar will camp next to it. The leader of the Issacharites is Nethanel son of Zuar,
- Numbers 10:14
First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.
Commentary on Numbers 10:142 voices
The standard - of Judah - See this order of marching explained at large on Numbers 2 (note). The following is the order in which this vast company proceeded in their march: - Judah Issachar Zebulun Gershonites, and Merarites carrying the tabernacle. Reuben Simeon Gad The Kohathites with the sanctuary. Ephraim Manasseh Benjamin Dan Asher Naphtali.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
The leading standard, now lodged with that tribe, was an earnest of the sceptre which in David's time should be committed to it, and looked further to the captain of our salvation, of whom it was likewise foretold that unto him should the gathering of the people be.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- Numbers 10:15
Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,
Commentary on Numbers 10:151 voice
The leading standard, now lodged with that tribe, was an earnest of the sceptre which in David's time should be committed to it, and looked further to the captain of our salvation, of whom it was likewise foretold that unto him should the gathering of the people be.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- Numbers 26:25
These were the clans of Issachar, and their registration numbered 64,300.
- Deuteronomy 33:18
Concerning Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:181 voice
Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out - That is, Thou shalt be very prosperous in thy coasting voyages; for this tribe’s situation was favorable for traffic, having many sea-ports. See Gen 49:13 (note). And, Issachar, in thy tents - That is, as Zebulun should be prosperous in his shipping and traffic, so should Issachar be in his tents - his agriculture and pasturage.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Deuteronomy 33:19
They will call the peoples to a mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will feast on the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.”
Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:192 voices
They shall call the people unto the mountain - By their traffic with the Gentiles (for so I think עמים ammim should be understood here) they shall be the instruments in God’s hands of converting many to the true faith; so that instead of sacrificing to idols, they should offer sacrifices of righteousness. They shall suck of the abundance of the seas - That is, grow wealthy by merchandise.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
This prophecy concerning Zebulun perhaps looks as far as the preaching of Christ and his apostles, which began in the land of Zebulun ( Matt. iv. 14, 15 ); then they called the people to the mountain, that is, to the kingdom of the Messiah, which is called the mountain of the Lord's house, Isa. ii.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- Joshua 19:17–23
The fourth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Issachar:
Commentary on Joshua 19:17–231 voice
The fourth lot came out to Issachar - It is remarkable, that though Issachar was the eldest brother, yet the lot of Zebulun was drawn before his lot; and this is the order in which Jacob himself mentions them, Gen 49:13, Gen 49:14, though no reason appears, either here or in the place above, why this preference should be given to the younger; but that the apparently fortuitous lot should have distinguished them just as the prophetic Jacob did, is peculiarly remarkable.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Judges 5:15
The princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar was with Barak, rushing into the valley at his heels. In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
Commentary on Judges 5:151 voice
Even Issachar ... - i. e. “and, as well as Issachar, Barak also with the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali, rushed down on foot from Mount Tabor into the valley to attack the iron chariots of Sisera.” For the divisions - Better: “among the brooks.” Reuben ought to have followed in this catalogue of patriots, but with that abruptness for which this poem is so conspicuous, Deborah adverts to his absence instead.
