This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
5 Reuben was the firstborn of Yisrael (or Israel, also known as Yakov/Jacob), but when he had sex with one of his father’s slave wives, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosef (Joseph), another one of Yisrael’s sons. So Reuben wasn’t recorded as inheriting the birthright,[ref] 2 and although Yehudah (Judah) was stronger than his other brothers and would be the son to produce a ruler, the birthright went to Yosef. 3 The sons of Yisrael’s eldest son Rueben were Hanok, Pallu, Hetsron, and Karmi.
4 Another descendant of Reuben was Yoel and his son was Shemayah. Shemayah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.[ref] 5 Shimei’s son was Mikah. Mikah’s son was Reayah. Reayah’s son was Baal. 6 Baal’s son was Beerah who became a leader of the Reubenites, but the Assyrian King Tiglat-Pileser captured him and took him back to Assyria. 7 His brothers by their clans, as listed in their genealogical records: Yeiel the leader, Zekaryah, 8 Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Yoel. Reuben’s clan lived near the city of Aroer as far north as the cities of Nevo and Baal-Meon. 9 Some of them lived further east, as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had multiplied back in the Gilead region. 10 (In the days of King Shaul (Saul), they’d battled with the Hagrites and defeated them, so then they’d lived in their tents over all eastern Gilead.)
Gen 35:22:
35:22 Yisra’el’s sons
22 While they were living in that area, Yisra’el’s son Reuben slept with his father’s slave-wife Bilhah, and Yisra’el found out about it.[ref]
Yisra’el now had twelve sons.
49:3-4:
≈my power and the beginning of my strength.
With excellence in dignity,
≈and excelling in power.
4 But you’re destructive like strong waters.
You climbed into my bed (with my slave wife).
≈You got onto my couch and defiled it.
Gen 49:8-10:
8 Yehudah, you’ll be praised by your brothers.
You’ll be a powerful force against your enemies.
Your father’s sons will bow down to you.
My son, you’ve stood up after feasting on your prey.
He stretches and lies down like a lion.
As with a lioness, who will dare wake him?
10 Yehudah will never leave the ruling position,
≈nor will his descendants be without the ruler’s staff,
until the messiah arrives
and the people groups obey him.
2Ki 15:29:
29 During the reign of King Pekah over Israel, Assyria’s King Tiglat-Pileser came, and he captured the cities of Iyyon, Abel-Beyt-Maakah, Yanoah, Kedesh, and Hatsor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naftali, and he exiled their people to Assyria.
