When Reuven, switched his father's bed for the honor of Leah, "vayishkav es Bilhaa" it is considered as if he lay with Bilhaa, a pegam of bris and rebellion against the ideals of Yossef and his mother. "Yael" who corresponds with "Leah" (also phonetically) fixed this by sleeping with Sisra 7 times in order to kill him. "Great is a sin for the sake of heaven" that from the third time, corresponding to the word "shachav" Rabi Akiva was descended, "mbnei banav shel Sisra".
Akiva, the son of Yossef was a Tikun for this and lost 24,000 students.
