Exodus 1:5-7

Contemporary English Version

The People of Israel Suffer

1 ^1-5 (A) When Jacob went to Egypt, his son Joseph was already there. So Jacob took his eleven other sons and their families. They were: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Altogether, Jacob had 70 children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren^[a] who went with him.

⁶ After Joseph, his brothers, and everyone else in that generation had died, ^7 (B) the people of Israel became so numerous that the whole region of Goshen was full of them.
