BIblehub is written as "Job" in Genesis 46:13. Rashi notes that Job was the original name, but when the brothers settled themselves (נִתְיַשְּׁבוּ) to learn Torah (cf. 1 Chronicles 12: 33), “of the sons of Issachar, who possessed understanding of the times,” he merited, so was named Jashub.Divrei Hayamim I - I Chronicles - Chapter 7.

Genesis 46:21; Numbers 26:38; 1 Chronicles 8:1).Mathys 2007 272 A longer genealogy is listed in 1 Chronicles 8:1–28.Endres 2012 22 Verse 6 The sons of Benjamin; Bela, and Becher, and Jediael, three.1 Chronicles 7:6 KJV KJV "Becher": from he בכר;1 Chronicles 7:6 Hebrew Text Analysis.
