'''Reuben''' (Hebrew '''רְאוּבֵן''') was the first-born son of [[Jacob]], and the founder of [[Tribe of Reuben]], one of the [[12 tribes of Israel]]. Reuben was the son of Jacob's first wife [[Leah]]. Although firstborn, Reuben's tribe does not get the rights of the first-born and the line of kings came from his brother [[Judah]]. Reuben is principally know for two incidents in the [[Bible]]: counseling his brothers not to kill [[Joseph]], and for the ambiguous incident in [[Genesis]] 35 where he may have committed incest. In the Jewish tradidiion, the first [[cities of refuge]] for accidental homocide were in Reuben's territory due to his arguing against killing Joseph.
