Gemoro (Shabbos 55b) "Whoever says
Reuvain sinned, is only mistaken. It says in the
Pasuk ויהיו בני יעקב שנים עשר ,
all were equal
."
How does the Gemoro know that Reuvain didn’t sin? Maybe he sinned and did Teshuva and therefore he is equal to the rest of the שבטים ?
R. A.L. Shteinman shlita answered
The Pasuk ויהיו בני יעקב
שנים עשר is written immediately after
The Maaseh
of וישכב את בלהה
Reuvain didn’t do Teshuva only
after the Maaseh of Yehuda and Tamar , while the brothers were
selling Yosef
to the Yishmaeilim. He was equal to the brothers before
doing Teshuva
because he never sinned.

Kaniyevski shlita answered
Had Reuvain
sinned and done Teshuva, he would not have been
equal to the
brothers. He would have been greater than them.
