Usage: The term "Tolaite" is used to refer to the descendants or members of the family of Tola, who was one of the sons of Issachar, a tribe of Israel.

Context: The term תּוֹלָעִי (Tolaite) is a proper noun used to identify the descendants of Tola, the firstborn son of Issachar, as mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel. Tola is listed among the sons of Issachar in Genesis 46:13 and 1 Chronicles 7:1. The Tolaites are part of the larger tribal confederation of Issachar, which was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Issachar was known for its wisdom and understanding of the times, as noted in 1 Chronicles 12:32. The Tolaites, as part of this tribe, would have shared in the inheritance and responsibilities of the tribe of Issachar. The specific mention of the Tolaites in the genealogical records underscores the importance of family lineage and tribal affiliation in the social and religious life of ancient Israel.
