Exodus 1:1-7 ▼

1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; each came with his household:

2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;

3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;

4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

5 All the descendants of Jacob were seventy people; Joseph was [already] in Egypt.

6 Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation,

7 but the Israelites were prolific and increased greatly; they multiplied and became extremely strong, so that the land was filled with them.
