Jacob thus uttered the words of inspiration to his sorrowing sons, presenting before them the light in which God viewed their deeds of violence, and that he would visit them for their sins. His prophetic words in regard to his other sons were not as gloomy. {1SP 155.1}

Således talte Jakob profetiske ord for sine sønner, og fremstillede for dem hvorledes Gud betragtede deres voldsgerninger, og at han ville straffe dem for deres synder. Hans profetiske ord om de andre sønner var ikke så mørke.
