Still, by Reuben is not meant all the universal essentials of the Church, but only one quality of it, which is that of faith, but of a faith from charity, not a faith in one's own understanding or faith alone.

According to the Torah, the tribe was founded by an individual,Reuben, the first son of Jacob, and a son of Leah, from whom it took its name; however some Biblical scholars view this as a postdiction, an eponymous metaphor providing an aetiology of the connectedness of the tribe to others in the Israelite confederation.

Different segments of each tribe tended to congregate together in the same places so that their descendants are now concentrated each in its own country which thus belongs to whatever specific tribe gained predominance within its boundaries.
Reuben, for instance, was represented by the Reubenite clan of CARMI (Numbers 26) in the region of CARMANIA which adjoined Gadrosia (of Gad) south of Hara and encompassed Makran, named after Machir, who had dominated the half- tribe of Menasseh, east of the Jordan (Joshua 17;1).
It follows that the Tribe of Naphtali, which later appeared in Scythia east of the Ural Mountains, was thus identical with the Gaeli-Cadussi who previously had been in the "Gouzan"area south-west of the Caspian Sea which area was one to which the Assyrians had transported Israelite-exiles.

The Torah argues that Reuben's behaviour angered Jacob to the extent that he gave Reuben's birthright (as firstborn) to Joseph; classical rabbinical sources argue that the birthright had included the right of his descendants (the tribe of Reuben) to become ruler over the tribes (transferred to Judah) and priests (transferred to Levi)
In classical rabbinical literature, Reuben is described as being motivated by a sense of responsibility over his brothers (since he was the eldest), and as having become angry when he discovers that Joseph had gone missing as a result of his brothers selling him to Ishmaelites
Classical rabbinical sources argue that Reuben was born on the 9th of Kislev, and died at the age of 125

 Reuben (Bible) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rəʾûḇēn ; "see" + "a son") is the first-born son of Jacob and the founder of the Tribe of Reuben, as related in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible.
Reuben means "behold a son", and was so named because his mother Leah was hoping that by presenting him to Jacob she would overcome Jacob's preference for his second wife, her younger sister Rachel.
Although part of the plot to kill and later enslave their brother Joseph, it is Reuben who advises the others not to kill Joseph, (Genesis 37:20-22), and who later points out that their troubles in Egypt were the consequence of the plot, (Genesis 42:22).

 Tribe of Reuben by Yair Davidiy
According to Biblical chronology, Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, was born about 1771 B.C. Of character ardent, impetuous, generous, and intelligent, this firstborn of Jacob played a predominant role in the history of the Israelites, as the Gauls played a role in the foreground of that of the Celtic peoples.
Reuben was also guilty with his brothers when the ruin of Joseph was plotted; but the plan he made to preserve the life of their young brother, proves the courage and the intelligence of Reuben.
Reuben loved his own and others; this was easily shown when he volunteered to assume, according to the promise he made to his father (Genesis 42:37), the load of responsibility to restore Benjamin to him.

 Introduction to Finding the Lost Tribes of Israel
The biggest problem with tracing the tribes through history is the lack of surviving written records for movement of major people groups across time.
It is simply not possible to accurately trace the movement of each tribe of ancient Israel as they left the promised land.
A full tribal story is incomplete until it explains how the ancient tribes encompass something like the 70 kings from the Table of Nations in the Book of Genesis, or else the entire modern world as represented at the United Nations.

Reuben loses his birthright, yet it does not devolve upon Simeon the next in order; for it was typical, and therefore must attend, not the course of nature, but the choice of grace.
Reuben having forfeited these, it was thought too much that both should be transferred to any one, and therefore they were divided.
