Genesis 49:3-7
3ReubenH7205, thou art my firstbornH1060, my mightH3581, and the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, the excellencyH3499 of dignityH7613, and the excellencyH3499 of powerH5794: 4UnstableH6349 as waterH4325, thou shalt not excelH3498; because thou wentest upH5927 to thy father’sH1 bedH4904; then defiledst thouH2490 it: he went upH5927 to my couchH3326.12
5SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brethrenH251; instrumentsH3627 of crueltyH2555 are in their habitationsH4380.3 6O my soulH5315, comeH935 not thou into their secretH5475; unto their assemblyH6951, mine honourH3519, be not thou unitedH3161: for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a manH376, and in their selfwillH7522 they digged downH6131 a wallH7794.4 7CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it was fierceH5794; and their wrathH5678, for it was cruelH7185: I will divideH2505 them in JacobH3290, and scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
