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.
Genesis 49:3-4 (WEB)
