Genesis 49

3 Reuben, you are my firstborn,  * 49:3 Gn 29:32

my strength and the firstfruits of my virility,  * 49:3 Dt 21:17

excelling in prominence, excelling in power.

4 Turbulent as water, you will not excel,

because you got into your father’s bed  * 49:4 Gn 35:22

and you defiled it — he  * 49:4 LXX, Syr, Tg read you  got into my bed.
