⁶ And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, Reuben, one `portion'.

¹⁵ And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.

¹⁶ And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;

¹⁷ Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,

¹⁸ and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

¹⁹ and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley,

²⁰ and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,

²¹ and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, that dwelt in the land.

³² And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction. For now my husband will love me.

³ Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength; The pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power.

⁴ Boiling over as water, thou shalt not have the pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; Then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
