Commentary on Exodus 1:2
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah—The listing follows birth order from Jacob's wives, beginning with Leah's four eldest sons. Reuben (ראובן), though firstborn, forfeited his birthright (Genesis 49:3-4). Levi (לוי) would become the priestly tribe, showing God's sovereign choice overrides natural birth order. Judah (יהודה) receives Jacob's blessing of kingship (Genesis 49:10), the line through which Messiah would come. This genealogy isn't mere record-keeping but theological foundation—showing God's elective purposes working through flawed human families.
