Genesis 49:6

6 O my soul, do not come into their council,
do not be united to their assembly, my heart, ▼
▼ The Hebrew text reads “my glory,” but it is preferable to repoint the form and read “my liver.” The liver was sometimes viewed as the seat of the emotions and will (see HALOT 456 s.v. II כָּבֵד) for which the heart is the modern equivalent.
for in their anger they have killed men,
and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.
