These were the names of the sons of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who came to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.
Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, “Surely the Lord has looked upon my affliction. Now therefore my husband will love me.”
He brought with him to Egypt his sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his descendants.
The sons of Reuben were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron, and Karmi.
These are the names of the men who will stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;
Let Reuben live, and not die, and let not his men be few.
