1 When Jacob, also called Israel, went to Egypt, he took his sons. And each son took his own family with him. These are the names of the sons of Israel:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 There was a total of 70 people who were descendants of Jacob. Jacob’s son Joseph was already in Egypt.
