Genesis 49:7

Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; the anger in itself may have been justified at the time, but the fact that its violence sought such an outlet is beyond excuse; and their wrath, for it was cruel; they went to excess in their angry impetuosity. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. This prophecy was fulfilled in such a way as to make Simeon the weakest among the tribes even before the entry into Canaan, Numbers 26:14, to omit the tribe in the blessing of Moses, Deuteronomy 33, and to give to the tribe only a few cities within the boundaries of Judah, Joshua 19, l-9; 1 Chronicles 4:27, while Levi also, redeemed in some measure by the heroic act of a member of the tribe, Numbers 25:11, received no section of Canaan for his portion, but lived in cities ceded by the other tribes. Thus a whole family, and even a whole nation, may have to bear the guilt of a few sinners whom the Lord was obliged to condemn.
