In 2298 AM (1706 BC), Issachar entered [[Egypt]] permanently, having visited Egypt twice before to buy grain during the famine of 2296-2302 AM (1708-1701 BC). He was 46 years old at the time and had four named sons: [[Tola (son of Issachar)|Tola]], [[Phuvah]], [[Job (son of Issachar)|Job]], and [[Shimron]].

In his deathbed blessing of Issachar, [[Jacob]] said: {{Bible quote|Issachar is a rawboned donkey lying down between two saddlebags. When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor.|book=Genesis|chap=49|verses=14-15}}
== Issachar in fiction ==
Issachar appears in an undistinguished (and probably accurate) role in multiple [[motion picture]] and [[television]] projects depicting the life and career of [[Joseph]].
