Genealogy of Reuben(A)
5 Here is a record of[a] the descendants of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn. (He was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s marriage bed, his birthright was transferred to the descendants of Israel’s son Joseph. As a result, Reuben is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birthright. 2 Even though Judah became prominent among his relatives—that is, the Commander-in-chief[b] will be his descendant—nevertheless the right of the firstborn went to Joseph.)
3 The descendants of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, included Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
