Who was Gad?
This Gad was a son of Jacob and Zilpah. His name later became the name of a tribe of Israel. He is different from the prophet Gad who advised David.
Genesis records his birth within Jacob's family. Keeping the family member separate from the later prophet helps us avoid joining unrelated stories just because a name matches.
