Additionally Reuvain, Shimon and Levy were the three sons belittled by Yackov during the 'blessing of the Tribes', their genealogy is listed twice to reiterate that they were also important. This also confirms the continuation of Reuvain as the Bichor for Yichus, withstanding the redeemer Moshe coming from Levi.<ref>Ikar Sefsi Chachamim in name of Ramban</ref> These were the Moshe and Aharon who spoke to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to let the Jews out of Egypt. They were commanded by Hashem and fulfilled the command, remained in their mission and in their righteousness from beginning to end.<ref>Rashi Shemos 6:27</ref> |
