Simeon & Levi: Violent and angry, they will be scattered across Israel. A reckoning with violence; perhaps a prayer for redemption and a softened heart. Its grief laced with justice. Jacob distances himself from their wrath and refuses to participate in their plans. Yet even in this rebuke, there’s a prophetic arc: their dispersion becomes transformation. Levi’s descendants become the priestly tribe, scattered, yes, but consecrated for sacred service.

It reads in Genesis 49:5-7 Easy: “Simeon and Levi are brothers. They are violent with their swords.I will not join their secret meetings. I will not take part in their evil plans. They have killed people out of anger and crippled animals for fun. Their anger is so strong that it is a curse. They are too cruel when they are angry. They will not get their own land in the land of Jacob. They will be spread throughout Israel.

Father God, of mercy and forgiveness. You see the hearts that burn in anger, the hands that move in haste. Teach us to lay down our swords, to unlearn cruelty, and be scattered not in shame, But in service that restores. Let righteous anger birth justice, not vengeance. Let those once ruled by fury Become bearers of peace. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
