Genesis 49:3-7

3ReubenH7205, thou art my firstbornH1060, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignityH7613, and excellency of strengthH3581.

4Impetuous as the watersH4325, thou shalt have no pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father's couch: ThenH227 defiledst thou [it]: he wentH5927 up to my bedH4904.

5SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brethren: InstrumentsH3627 of violenceH2555 their swords.

6My soulH5315, comeH935 not into their councilH5475; Mine honour, be not united with their assemblyH6951; For in their angerH639 they slewH2026 menH376, And in their wantonness houghed oxen.

7CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it [was] violent; And their rage, for it [was] cruel! I will divideH2505 them in JacobH3290, And scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
