The genealogy moves to Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh east of Jordan. Reuben’s birthright privileges are explained as having been redistributed because of his sin: Joseph received the birthright, while Judah supplied the chief ruler. The eastern tribes prosper in warfare when they cry to God, but later they turn to the gods of the surrounding peoples and are carried away by Assyria.
