Reuven was the founder of the Tribe of Reuven and the oldest son of Jacob and Leah. He convinced his brothers not to kill their brother Joseph, but to throw him in a pit, thinking he might save him later. When Jacob blessed his sons, he gave Reuven a mixed one, due to Reuven having had an affair with Bilhah, Jacob's concubine.
