Genesis 49:3-4 KJV – 3 Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my couch.
Deuteronomy 33:6 KJV – 6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be few.
Numbers 2:10-16 KJV – 10 On the south side [shall be] the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben [shall be] Elizur the son of Shedeur. 11 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, [were] forty and six thousand and five hundred. 12 And those which pitch by him [shall be] the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon [shall be] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were] fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. 14 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were] forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty. 16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben [were] an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies.

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CREATION, JESUS PLACED PATTERNS OF STARS IN THE SKY, LIGHTS WHICH SERVE FIRST AND FOREMOST AS THE TRIBAL “SIGNS” OR 12 MILITARY “ENSIGNIA” OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
Genesis 1:14 KJV – 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs,[H226] and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Of the 88 Constellations, or Patterns of Lights that make up the sky, the sun passes through only 12 of these ‘Owthowth, each one in its order. Scientists call the circuit the sun runs through these 12 Signs the “Ecliptic.”
The time it takes for the sun to pass through each ‘Owthowth varies. These time periods are called “Solar Months.” The 12 Biblical Months of the year are named after these 12 Solar Months.
The ‘Owthowth אוֹתוֹת (H226) of the Tribe of Reuben is eleventh in the sun’s circuit along the ecliptic.
EACH “ SIGN” OR MILITARY “ENSIGN” IS EMBROIDERED ONTO ITS OWN “FLAG” OR “STANDARD” IN ONE OF THE FOUR COLORS OF THE FOUR CAMPS IN THEIR FOUR DIRECTIONS.
Numbers 2:2 KJV – 2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign[H226] of their father’s house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
The Tribe of Reuben is the Head of the Camp of Reuben, in the South, which moves out in the Second “Rank”. Reuben is the fourth of the Twelve Tribes or “Companies” that make up the Armies of The Lord. The Reubenites’ Flag or “Standard” color is White.
