Exodus 1:1-7 ▼

1 These are the names of the sons of Israel (that is, Jacob) who came with him to Egypt with their families:

2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;

3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;

4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.

5 Joseph was already in Egypt. The total number of Jacob's descendants was 70.

6 Eventually, Joseph, all his brothers, and that entire generation died.

7 But the descendants of Israel had many children. They became so numerous and strong that the land was filled with them.
