1 Chronicles 5

As to sons of Reuben, first-born of Israel — for he [is] the first-born, and on account of his profaning the couch of his father hath his birthright been given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, and [he is] not to be reckoned by genealogy for the birthright,

2 For Iudah preuailed aboue his brethren, and of him came the prince, but the birthright was Iosephs)
