Genesis 49:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 “Gather together and hear, O sons of Jacob;
And (A)listen to Israel your father.
3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn;
My might and (B)the beginning of my strength,
[a]Preeminent in dignity and [b]preeminent in power.
4 “[c]Uncontrolled as water, you shall not have preeminence,
(C)Because you went up to your father’s bed;
Then you defiled it—he went up to my couch.
