1 Chroniques 5
1 Et les fils de Ruben, premier-né d’Israël (car il était le premier-né, mais, parce qu’il avait profané le lit de son père, son droit de premier-né fut donné aux fils de Joseph, fils d’Israël, mais [Joseph] n’a pas la primogéniture dans le registre généalogique;
Reuben was the oldest son of Jacob. Therefore, he should have received the special rights/privileges that belonged to firstborn sons. But he had sex with his father’s slave wife, so [his father] gave the rights if a firstborn son to the sons of Reubers younger brother Joseph. And in the family records, Reuben is not mentioned first, like the firstborn sons always are.
2 car Juda eut la prééminence au milieu de ses frères, et le prince [sort] de lui; mais le droit de premier-né fut à Joseph);
Although Judah became more influential than his brothers, and a ruler of the tribe descended from him, Joseph’s family received the rights that belonged to firstborn sons.
