1 Chronicles 5:1-2

1These are the sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn. (Although he was the firstborn, his rights as firstborn were given to his nephews, Joseph’s sons, because he dishonored his father’s bed. However, Joseph couldn’t be listed in the genealogy as the firstborn son.

2Even though Judah was more prominent than his brothers and the prince was to come from him, Joseph received the rights as firstborn.)
