- 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.

- Genesis 49:14
Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.
Commentary on Genesis 49:141 voice
Above we have taken into consideration that one who erred because of the threefold impulse of the soul (as a weakness of the entire soul), which is divided into carnal passion symbolized by Reuben, into anger symbolized by Simeon and into ill-directed prudence symbolized by Levi. But then we have shown this person when he repents in the figure of Judah and is largely converted in the figure of Zebulun.
Tyrannius Rufinus· THE BLESSINGS OF THE PATRIARCHS 2.14, 411Patristic
- 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
"Issachar desired the good and rested in the midst of lots. And seeing the place of rest that it is good, and the land that it is rich, he bowed his shoulder to labor and became a husbandman." Issachar is called "reward," and therefore he represents Christ, who is our reward, because we buy him for ourselves for the hope of everlasting salvation, not with gold and silver but with faith and devotion.… He is the one who desired the good from the beginning and did not know how to desire what is evil.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Blessings of the Patriarchs, 397Patristic
- Exodus 1:3
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
Commentary on Exodus 1:31 voice
Issachar, Zebulun,.... The other two sons of Jacob, by Leah: Benjamin; the youngest of all Jacob's sons is placed here, being his son by his beloved wife Rachel. Joseph is not put into the account, because he did not go into Egypt with Jacob.

- Numbers 2:3
On the east side, toward the sunrise, the divisions of Judah are to camp under their standard:
Commentary on Numbers 2:31 voice
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.

- Numbers 2:5
The tribe of Issachar will camp next to it. The leader of the Issacharites is Nethanel son of Zuar,
Commentary on Numbers 2:51 voice
And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar,.... Who with Zebulun, after mentioned, as placed with him under the same standard, were the brethren of Judah, by the same mother Leah, and so fitly put together, as most likely to continue in harmony and love; and being the youngest sons of Leah, and brethren of Judah, would, without any reluctance or murmuring, pitch under their elder brother's standard: and Nethaneel, the son of Zuar, shall be captain of the children of Issachar; see Num 1:8.

Commentary on Numbers 2:61 voice

- 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

- 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 33:191 voice
Hence, if charity is patient, long-suffering and good, then it "shall suck as milk the abundance of the sea." In this way did Lawrence rejoice over the glowing embers as if they had been flowers. These fruits are in the spirit, not in the flesh.
Bonaventure· Collations on the Hexaemeron, Collation 18, 1257Patristic
- Joshua 19:17–23
The fourth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Issachar:
Commentary on Joshua 19:17–232 voices
And the fourth lot came out to Issachar,.... The fourth of the seven drawn at Shiloh: for the children of Issachar, according to their families: among whom the inheritance that came to them by the lot was divided, according to the number of them.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
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 Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 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
(Judges 5:15) The leaders of Issachar were with Deborah. In Hebrew: the princes, that is, the teachers of the Law, were with Deborah to praise the Lord, and Barak followed in the footsteps of the age. It is to be understood that a certain part of them remained with Deborah to praise the Lord, and a part followed Barak to exhort and vanquish Sisera. Who, as if into a precipice, gave himself to danger. Barak, indeed, believing the words of the Lord, gave himself to danger, throwing himself into the torrent Kishon, pursuing and vanquishing the army of Sisera.
