Genesis 49:4
“First he mentions the event,-that in the last days the people will assault the bed of the Father, that is, the bride,9 the Church, with intent to corrupt her; which thing, indeed, it does even at this present day, assaulting her by blasphemies.”
Source: Septuagint
4Thou wast insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, For thou wentest up to the bed of thy father; Then thou defiledst the couch, whereupon thou wentest up.

2Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you What shall happen to you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear me, sons of Jacob; Hear Israel, hear your father.
3Reuben, thou art my firstborn, Thou my strength, and the first of my children, Hard to be endured, hard and self-willed.
— Genesis 49:4 —
5Simeon and Levi, brethren, Accomplished the injustice of their cutting off.
6Let not my soul come into their counsel, And let not mine inward parts contend in their conspiracy, For in their wrath they slew men, And in their passion they houghed a bull.
