The third son of Jacob by Leah. The origin of the name is found in Leah’s words ([Gen. 29:34](/gen#Gen.29.34)), “This time will my husband be joined [Heb. yillaveh] unto me.” He is mentioned as taking a prominent part in avenging his sister Dinah ([Gen. 34:25-31](/gen#Gen.34.25)). He and his three sons went down with Jacob (46:11) into Egypt, where he died at the age of one hundred and thirty-seven years ([Ex. 6:16](/exod#Exod.6.16)).
