1 THEN Jacob called his sons and said to them, Gather yourselves together that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together and listen, O sons of Jacob; and hearken o Israel your father. 3 Reuben, you are my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength, and the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 4 You went astray like water, you shall not excel; because you went up to your father's bed; truly, you have defiled my bed by going up into it.
