1Now these are the 1names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; they came each one 2with his household: 2Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah; 3Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin; 4Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 5All the 3persons who came from the loins of Jacob were 4seventy 5in number, but Joseph was already in Egypt. 66Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation. 7But the sons of Israel 7were fruitful and 8increased greatly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly 9mighty, so that the land was filled with them.
