Deuteronomy 33:6

Tree of Life Version

‘Let Reuben live and not die, though his people become few.’

See the chapter Copy

While Israel was living in that land, Reuben went and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.

Leah’s sons were Jacob’s firstborn Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.

Judah, so you are— your brothers will praise you: Your hand will be on your enemies’ neck. Your father’s sons will bow down to you.

“These then are the names of the men who will assist you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur.
