1 Jacob summoned his sons and said, "Gather around so that I can tell you what will happen to you in the coming days.
2 Assemble yourselves and listen, sons of Jacob;listen to Israel your father.
3 Reuben, you are my oldest son,my strength and my first contender,superior in status and superior in might.
4 As wild as the waters, you won’t endure,for you went up to your father’s bed,you went up and violated my couch.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers,weapons of violence their stock in trade.
