Genesis 35:22-29

22While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went to bed with his father’s concubine  Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had 12 sons.

23The sons of Leah were Jacob’s firstborn Reuben, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

25The sons of Rachel’s slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

26The sons of Leah’s slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These were Jacob’s sons, who were born in Paddan Aram.

27Jacob came home to his father Isaac to Mamre’s city, Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron). Abraham and Isaac had lived there for a while.

28Isaac was 180 years old

29when he took his last breath and died. He joined his ancestors in death at a very old age. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
