Though Judah became stronger than his brothers, and from him came the ruler, the birthright was Joseph’s:)

though Judah became prominent among his brothers and a ruler came from him, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph.)

yet Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Joseph’s––

Though Judah was the strongest among his brothers and a leader descended from him, ¹  the right of the firstborn belonged to Joseph.)
