Genesis 49:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ “Reuben, my eldest son, you are my might and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity and the excellency of power.

⁴ “You were light as water. You shall not be excellent, because you went up to your father’s bed. Then, you defiled my bed. Your dignity is gone.

⁵ “Simeon and Levi (brothers). Their weapons are the instruments of cruelty.
