And the sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel (for he [was] the firstborn; but because of his going up to his father's couch, [his father] gave his blessing to his son Joseph, [even] the son of Israel; and he was not reckoned as firstborn;

٧ 7 وَإِخْوَتُهُ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ فِي ٱلِٱنْتِسَابِ حَسَبَ مَوَالِيدِهِمِ: ٱلرَّئِيسُ يَعِيئِيلُ وَزَكَرِيَّا،

And they made war with the Agarenes, and Itureans, and Naphiseans, and Nadabeans,

٢٠ 20 فَٱنْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ. فَدُفِعَ لِيَدِهِمِ ٱلْهَاجَرِيُّونَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَعَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ صَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْقِتَالِ، فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمُ اُتَّكَلُوا عَلَيْهِ.

and they prevailed against them: and the Agaraeans were given into their hands, [they] and all their tents: for they cried to God in the battle, and he listened to them, because they trusted on him.

٢١ 21 وَنَهَبُوا مَاشِيَتَهُمْ: جِمَالَهُمْ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفًا، وَغَنَمًا مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ أَلْفًا، وَحَمِيرًا أَلْفَيْنِ. وَسَبَوْا أُنَاسًا مِئَةَ أَلْفٍ.

And they took captive their store; five thousand camels, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men.
