Meet Issachar.

One of Jacob's sons.

Issachar: a quiet historically appropriate setting for One of Jacob's sons, with simple understated contextual details; no invented dramatic event

Who was Issachar?

Issachar was a son of Jacob and Leah. His name later belonged to a tribe of Israel. Genesis names him within the birth stories of Jacob's children but gives little about his individual childhood.

A family list can help us understand later references to tribes. It does not tell us a person's favourite activities, personality or every event in their life.
