|
| 2 | “Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father. |

| 3 | “Reuben, you are my firstborn, My might and the beginning of my strength, The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. |
|

|
|
| 4 | Unstable as water, you shall not excel, Because you went up to your father’s bed; Then you defiled it— He went up to my couch. |

| 5 | “Simeon and Levi are brothers; Instruments of cruelty are in their dwelling place. |
|
ΣυμεωνκαὶΛευιαδελφοί·συνετέλεσαναδικίανεξαιρέσεωςαυτῶν.
|
|
| 6 | Let not my soul enter their council; Let not my honor be united to their assembly; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox. |

|
| 7 | Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob And scatter them in Israel. |
|

|
| 9 | Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him? |
|

|
|
| 15 | He saw that rest was good, And that the land was pleasant; He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, And became a band of slaves. |
