Let Ruben live, and not die, and may he be small in number."
Let Reuben live, and not die; And let not his men be few.
Let [the tribe of] Reuben live and not die out, but let his men be few.
Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.
“I pray that Reuben lives, doesn’t die, though his numbers are so few.”
