1 Chronicles 5:1-8

1 filii quoque Ruben primogeniti Israhel ipse quippe fuit primogenitus eius sed cum violasset torum patris sui data sunt primogenita eius filiis Ioseph filii Israhel et non est ille reputatus in primogenitum

2 porro Iudas qui erat fortissimus inter fratres suos de stirpe eius principes germinati sunt primogenita autem reputata sunt Ioseph

3 filii ergo Ruben primogeniti Israhel Enoch et Phallu Esrom et Charmi

4 filii Iohel Samaia filius eius Gog filius eius Semei filius eius

5 Micha filius eius Reeia filius eius Baal filius eius

6 Beera filius eius quem captivum duxit Theglathphalnasar rex Assyriorum et fuit princeps in tribu Ruben

7 fratres autem eius et universa cognatio quando numerabantur per familias suas habuerunt principes Ieihel et Zacchariam

8 porro Bala filius Azaz filii Samma filii Iohel ipse habitavit in Aroer usque ad Nebo et Beelmeon
