'Excel' in the Bible

"Reuben, you're my firstborn, my strength, and the first fruit of my vitality. You excel in rank and excel in power.

Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

The blessings of your father excelthe blessings of my ancestorsand the bounty of the eternal hills.May they rest on the head of Joseph,on the crown of the prince of his brothers.
