Genesis 49:3-5
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
3 Reuben, you are my first-born,
my might, and the first fruits of my strength,
pre-eminent in pride and pre-eminent in power.
4 Unstable as water, you shall not have pre-eminence
because you went up to your father’s bed;
then you defiled it—you[a] went up to my couch!
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers;
weapons of violence are their swords.
