Jacob’s Prophecy concerning His Sons
3¶“Reuben, you are my firstborn, My might and the beginning of my strength, Preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.
4“Uncontrollable as water, you shall not have preeminence, Because you went up to your father’s bed; Then you defiled it—he went up to my couch.
Genesis 49:3-4 (NASB)
