Genesis 49:1-3

NHEB(i) 1 Then Jacob summoned his sons, and said: "Gather yourselves together so that I may tell you what will happen to you in the days to come. 2 Assemble yourselves and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father. 3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, and the the firstfruits of my virility, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.
