Genesis 49:3-7
3“ReubenH7205, you are my firstbornH1060; My mightH3581 and 1the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, 2PreeminentH3499 in dignityH7613 and 3preeminentH3499 in powerH5794.44UncontrolledH6349 as waterH4325, you shall not haveH3498 preeminenceH3498, 5BecauseH3588 you wentH5927 up to your father’sH1 bedH4904; ThenH227 you defiledH2490 it--he wentH5927 up to my couchH3326.
5“6SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brothersH251; Their swordsH4380 are implementsH3627 of violenceH2555.67Let my soulH5315 not enterH935 into their councilH5475; Let not my gloryH3519 be unitedH3161 with their assemblyH6951; BecauseH3588 in their angerH639 they slewH2026 8menH376, And in their self-willH7522 they lamedH6136 9oxenH7794.7CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it is fierceH5794; And their wrathH5678, for it is cruelH7185. 10I will 11disperseH2505 them in JacobH3290, And scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
