First, in plain English
Jacob's ninth son. His tribe held the fertile Jezreel Valley, and Chronicles says its men understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do.
Who this is
Issachar was Jacob's ninth son, and his tribe's territory in the fertile Jezreel Valley made it one of the more agriculturally prosperous regions, while 1 Chronicles describes the men of Issachar as having understanding of the times, knowing what Israel ought to do, a phrase later commentators have taken as a model for discerning wisdom.
