Genesis 49:3-7
3“ReubenH7205, you are my firstbornH1060, My mightH3581 and 1the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, PreeminentH3499 in dignityH7613 and preeminentH3499 in powerH5794.42UncontrollableH6349 as waterH4325, you shall not haveH3498 preeminenceH3498, 3BecauseH3588 you wentH5927 upH5927 to your father’sH1 bedH4904; ThenH227 you defiledH2490 it--he wentH5927 upH5927 to my couchH3326.
5“4SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brothersH251; Their 5swordsH4380 are implementsH3627 of violenceH2555.66May my soulH5315 not enterH935 into their councilH5475; May my gloryH3519 not be unitedH3161 with their assemblyH6951; For in their angerH639 they killedH2026 7menH376, And in their self-willH7522 they lamedH6136 8oxenH7794.7CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it is fierceH5794; And their wrathH5678, for it isH7185 cruelH7185. 9I will scatterH2505 them in JacobH3290, And disperseH6327 them among IsraelH3478.
