1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who entered Egypt – each man with his household entered with Jacob:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 All the people who were directly descended from Jacob numbered seventy. But Joseph was already in Egypt,
6 and in time Joseph and his brothers and all that generation died.
7 The Israelites, however, were fruitful, increased greatly, multiplied, and became extremely strong, so that the land was filled with them.
