ISSACHARYa'akov's son, Issachar, is generally placed with Zebulun when the twelves tribes of Israel are listed. This remains true in the last list of the twelves tribes in Hitgalut (Revelation) 7:4-8. Issachar's name means to 'hire' or 'wages' and comes from the Hebrew word sakar.
B'reshiyt 30:18
This word first appears in B'reshiyth 15:1 "After these things the word of YHVH came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great REWARD. Issachar was prophesied by his father Ya'akov in B'reshiyth to be a bearer of burdens and a servant. The entirety of this chapter focuses on the future of the twelve tribes of Israel. Issachar's portion of the land is the area of Megiddo and Jezreel.
