- He Was the Firstborn of Leah and Jacob. Reuben was the first of six sons born to Jacob by his first (but not favorite) wife, Leah.1 Although he was the eldest of Jacob’s 12 sons (progenitors of the 12 Tribes), throughout his life he seemed to fail to actualize his potential to lead his brothers.

- He Gave His Mother Flowers. After Leah and Jacob had four sons, and the concubines Bilhah and Zilpah contributed another four, Reuben picked some duda’im (translated as “mandrakes” or “jasmine”3 ), which he gave to his mother.
- He “Messed With His Father’s Bedding” Scripture tells us that after Rachel’s death, Reuben “lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine.” 5 According to rabbinic tradition, this means that he moved his father’s bedding, which had been in the tent of Bilhah, Rachel’s maid, into the tent of his mother, Leah, who was now the only full wife of Jacob.
