- 1Jacob called to his sons, and said: "Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.
- 2Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob; Listen to Israel, your father.
- 3"Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength; The pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power.
- 4Boiling over as water, you shall not have the pre-eminence; Because you went up to your father's bed; Then defiled it. He went up to my couch.
