- De filiis quoque Issachar viri eruditi, qui noverant singula tempora ad præcipiendum quid facere deberet Israël, principes ducenti : omnis autem reliqua tribus eorum consilium sequebatur.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσσαχὰρ γινώσκοντες σύνεσιν εἰς τοὺς καιρούς, γινώσκοντες τί ποιήσαι Ἰσραήλ, διακόσιοι, καὶ πάντες ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν.

- וּמִבְּנֵ֣י יִשָּׂשכָ֗ר יוֹדְעֵ֤י בִינָה֙ לַֽעִתִּ֔ים לָדַ֖עַת מַה יַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל רָאשֵׁיהֶ֣ם מָאתַ֔יִם וְכָל אֲחֵיהֶ֖ם עַל פִּיהֶֽם
Haydock's commentary
Should, in agricultural pursuits, in which those of Issachar excelled, Genesis xlix. 14. Countrymen have often more skill about the weather, than the greatest astronomers, Virgil, Georg. i. (Menochius) (Tirinus)
Others think that these men could calculate when the festivals would occur, (St. Jerome, Trad.) or they were well versed in politics, &c. See Esther i. 13.
