Genesis 49:6 in Context — Genesis 49
4 Corriente como las aguas, no seas el principal; por cuanto subiste al lecho de tu padre: entonces te envileciste, subiendo á mi estrado.
5 Simeón y Leví, hermanos: armas de iniquidad sus armas.
6 En su secreto no entre mi alma, ni mi honra se junte en su compañía; que en su furor mataron varón, y en su voluntad arrancaron muro.
7 Maldito su furor, que fué fiero; y su ira, que fué dura: yo los apartaré en Jacob, y los esparciré en Israel.
8 Judá, alabarte han tus hermanos: tu mano en la cerviz de tus enemigos: los hijos de tu padre se inclinarán á ti.
