Genesis 49:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ “Reuben, you are my firstborn,
my strength, the very first son I had,
first in majesty and first in power.
⁴ You will no longer be first
because you were out of control like a flood
and you climbed into your father’s bed.
Then you dishonored it.
He climbed up on my couch.

⁵ “Simeon and Levi are brothers.
Their swords are weapons of violence.
