49:3 Reuben, you are my firstborn,
my might and the beginning of my strength,
outstanding in dignity, outstanding in power.
49:4 You are destructive
for you got on your father’s bed,
then you defiled it – he got on my couch!
49:8 Judah,
Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies,
your father’s sons will bow down before you.
