Jacob and His Children

Through no fault of his own, Jacob ended up with two wives, plus two concubines. As a result, the children of Jacob comprised a mix of ages and mothers. Jacob had twelve sons and one daughter.

I found it helpful to keep track using a list of children grouped by wife or concubine. Below is my sketch note attempt to illustrate Jacob's family. Of course, these are not accurate representations, but I chose to match siblings with mothers using matching hair colors.

Genesis 29:31-30:24; 35:16-18 provides all of the narrative detail.
