1 The sons of Jacob who went to Egypt with him, each with his family, were
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 The total number of these people directly descended from Jacob was seventy. His son Joseph was already in Egypt.
6 In the course of time Joseph, his brothers, and all the rest of that generation died,
7 but their descendants, the Israelites, had many children and became so numerous and strong that Egypt was filled with them.
