Simeon's flag was green, with a picture of the city of Shechem upon it, for the forefather of the tribe had conquered this city. Judah's flag was azure, and bore the form of a lion. Issachar's flag was black, and had two figures, the sun and the moon, for from this tribe sprung the learned men who busied themselves with astronomy and the science of the calendar.
Kendall goin' down street together just as he was comin' along. He hollered at you, but you didn't hear him. 'Cordin' to Issachar's tell, you was luggin' a basket with Jonah's whale in it, or somethin' like that." Albert described his encounter with the minister. Rachel was much interested.

However, he was disposed to give her the benefit of the doubt, so, stepping to the side door of the office that leading to the yards he opened it and shouted: "Price! . . . Hey, Price!" There was no answer, although he could hear Issachar's voice and another above the rattle of lath bundles.
The color green alludes to the shame that turned Judah's countenance green when he publicly confessed his crime with Tamar.
