- Genesis 49:5-7
"Simeon and Levi are brothers;
Instruments of cruelty are in their dwelling place. Let not my soul enter their council;
Let not my honor be united to their assembly;
For in their anger they slew a man,
And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;
And their wrath, for it is cruel!
I will divide them in Jacob
And scatter them in Israel.
- Genesis 49:1
And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:
- Genesis 34:30
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”
