- Genesis 49:3-4
“ Reuben, you are my firstborn,
My might and the beginning of my strength,
The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. Unstable as water, you shall not excel,
Because you went up to your father’s bed;
Then you defiled it—
He went up to my couch.
- Numbers 2:16
“All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Reuben, one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty—they shall be the second to break camp.
