Genesis 49:3-7

49:3

Reuben
<07205>_,

thou [art] my firstborn
<01060>_,

my might
<03581>_,

and the beginning
<07225>

of my strength
<0202>_,

the excellency
<03499>

of dignity
<07613>_,

and the excellency
<03499>

of power
<05794>_:

49:4

Unstable
<06349>

as water
<04325>_,

thou shalt not excel
<03498> (8686)_;

because thou wentest up
<05927> (8804)

to thy father's
<01>

bed
<04904>_;

then defiledst thou
<02490> (8765)

[it]: he went up
<05927> (8804)

to my couch
<03326>_.

{thou shalt...: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went...: or, my couch is gone}

49:5

Simeon
<08095>

and Levi
<03878>

[are] brethren
<0251>_;

instruments
<03627>

of cruelty
<02555>

[are in] their habitations
<04380>_.

{instruments...: or, their swords are weapons of violence}

49:6

O my soul
<05315>_,

come
<0935> (8799)

not thou into their secret
<05475>_;

unto their assembly
<06951>_,

mine honour
<03519>_,

be not thou united
<03161> (8799)_:

for in their anger
<0639>

they slew
<02026> (8804)

a man
<0376>_,

and in their selfwill
<07522>

they digged down
<06131> (8765)

a wall
<07794>_.

{digged...: or, houghed oxen}

49:7

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] their anger
<0639>_,

for [it was] fierce
<05794>_;

and their wrath
<05678>_,

for it was cruel
<07185> (8804)_:

I will divide
<02505> (8762)

them in Jacob
<03290>_,

and scatter
<06327> (8686)

them in Israel
<03478>_.
