1 When Jacob (Israel) went to Egypt, his sons and their families went with him. Here are the names of those sons:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 Another son, Joseph, was already in Egypt. So Jacob’s whole family was with him in Egypt—70 descendants in all.
6 Later, Joseph, his brothers, and all the people of that generation died.
7 But the Israelites had many children, and their number grew until the country of Egypt was filled with them.
