Genesis 49:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 You sons of Jacob, come together now and listen to your father, Israel.’[a]
Reuben
3 Jacob said, ‘Reuben you are my firstborn son. You were born first, when I was a strong young man. Of all my sons, you are the most famous and the strongest.
4 Yet you are as wild as the sea. You had sex with your father's slave wife. This bad thing brought me shame. So you will not become great.[b]
