GENESIS 49

3 Reuben, you are my oldest son.

You were born when I was young and energetic/strong.

You are prouder and stronger than all the rest of my sons.

4 But you were as uncontrollable as a flood [SIM].

So now you will not be my most important son,

because you climbed up onto my bed,

and had sex with [MTY] my ◄concubine/slave who had become one of my wives►.

Your doing that caused me, your father, to have great shame.
