As one of the twelve tribes of Israel, the Reubenites held a significant place in the history and narrative of the Israelites. Their account is woven throughout the Old Testament, highlighting their role, territory, and contributions to the nation of Israel.<br><br><b>Ancestry and Early History</b><br><br>Reuben, the patriarch of the Reubenites, was the eldest son of Jacob. Despite his birthright as the firstborn, Reuben lost his preeminent status due to an indiscretion with Bilhah, his father&#8217;s concubine (<a href="/genesis/35-22.htm">Genesis 35:22</a>). This act led to Jacob's rebuke and the eventual transfer of the birthright to Joseph (<a href="/1_chronicles/5.htm">1 Chronicles 5:1-2</a>).<br><br><b>Territory and Settlement</b><br><br>The Reubenites were allocated land on the east side of the Jordan River, a region known for its fertile pastures. This territory was granted to them by Moses before the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land (<a href="/numbers/32.htm">Numbers 32:1-5</a>). The land included the plains of Moab and extended from the Arnon River to Mount Nebo and the Jordan River. The Reubenites, along with the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, chose this land because it was suitable for their large herds and flocks.<br><br><b>Role in Israelite Society</b><br><br>The Reubenites played a crucial role in the early military campaigns of Israel. They were among the tribes that assisted in the conquest of Canaan, fulfilling their promise to fight alongside their brethren before returning to their own territory (<a href="/joshua/1-12.htm">Joshua 1:12-18</a>). Despite their initial commitment, the Reubenites, along with the other Transjordan tribes, were often geographically and spiritually distant from the central activities of Israel, which were centered around the tabernacle and later the temple in Jerusalem.<br><br><b>Challenges and Conflicts</b><br><br>Throughout their history, the Reubenites faced various challenges. Their location made them vulnerable to attacks from neighboring nations. In <a href="/1_chronicles/5-18.htm">1 Chronicles 5:18-22</a>, the Reubenites, along with the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, are noted for their valor in battle against the Hagrites, a nomadic tribe. However, their separation from the main body of Israel sometimes led to spiritual decline, as seen in their participation in the worship of foreign gods (<a href="/1_chronicles/5-25.htm">1 Chronicles 5:25-26</a>).<br><br><b>Notable Figures</b><br><br>Dathan and Abiram, two Reubenites, are infamous for their rebellion against Moses during the wilderness wanderings (<a href="/numbers/16.htm">Numbers 16:1-35</a>). Their defiance, along with Korah, led to a dramatic judgment from God, where the earth opened and swallowed them and their households.<br><br><b>Legacy</b><br><br>The Reubenites, like many of the tribes, experienced a decline over time. Their territory was eventually overrun by Assyrian forces, leading to their exile (<a href="/1_chronicles/5-26.htm">1 Chronicles 5:26</a>). Despite this, the legacy of the Reubenites is preserved in the biblical narrative as a testament to the complexities and challenges faced by the tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b><br><br>&#183; <a href="/genesis/29-32.htm">Genesis 29:32</a>; 35:22; 49:3-4<br>&#183; <a href="/numbers/1-20.htm">Numbers 1:20-21</a>; 2:10-16; 32:1-42<br>&#183; <a href="/deuteronomy/3-12.htm">Deuteronomy 3:12-17</a><br>&#183; <a href="/joshua/13-15.htm">Joshua 13:15-23</a><br>&#183; <a href="/1_chronicles/5.htm">1 Chronicles 5:1-10, 18</a>-26<br><br>The Reubenites' account is a reminder of the importance of faithfulness and the consequences of straying from God's commands, as well as the enduring hope of restoration and redemption found throughout the biblical narrative.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">REUBENITES</span><p>roo'-ben-its (ha-re'ubheni; demoi Rhouben): Members of the tribe of Reuben (<a href="/numbers/26-7.htm">Numbers 26:7</a>, etc.).
