In context
2 Assemble yourselves and hear ye sons of Jacob,—And hearken unto Israel your father!
3 Reuben, my first-born, thou, My vigour, and the first-fruit of my strength,—Pre-eminence of elevation and pre-eminence of power:
4 Boiling over like water, thou mayest not have pre-eminence, Because thou didst mount the bed of thy father,—Then, wast thou profane—My marriage-bed, he mounted!
5 Simeon and Levi, are brethren,—Instruments of violence, are their agreements:
6 Into their circle, do not thou enter my soul! In their convocation, do not thou join mine honour! For in their anger, they slew brave men, And in their wantonness, they ham-strung oxen.
7 Accursed, be their anger, because fierce, And their wrath because cruel,—I divide them in Jacob, And I disperse them in Israel.
8 Judah, as for thee, thy brethren shall praise thee when thy hand is on the neck of thy foes,—The sons of thy father, shall bow them-selves down to thee:
