[[Reuben]], the eldest son of [[Jacob]], was always well-intentioned (Genesis 37:22, 29-30), but unstable and rash (Genesis 49:4, 42:37). [[Judah]], the fourth son, was stable, if slow to make up his mind for himself<ref>"[[http://www.conservapedia.com/Judah#The_Plot_against_Joseph|The Plot against Joseph]]"</ref> (Genesis 37:26-27, 43:8-9).

It is no meaningless coincidence, then, that Judah, of his own siblings, is pinpointed by the unit of 111 at Genesis 37:26 (the tenth multiple of 111 verses), just as Isaac was most dramatically pinpointed by the fifth multiple.
