Genesis 46:6-27

6They took their livestock and their property, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and 1came to Egypt, Jacob and all his 2descendants with him: 7his sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his 3descendants he brought with him to Egypt.

8Now these are the 4names of the sons of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn. 9The sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi. 10The 5sons of Simeon: 6Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and 7Jachin and 8Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. 11The sons of Levi: 9Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12The sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). And the 10sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13The sons of Issachar: Tola and 11Puvvah and 12Iob and Shimron. 14The sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel. 15These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, with his daughter Dinah; 13all his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three. 16The 14sons of Gad: 15Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and 16Ezbon, Eri and 17Arodi and Areli. 17The 18sons of Asher: Imnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah and their sister Serah. And the 19sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. 18These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah; and she bore to Jacob these sixteen persons. 19The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 2020Now to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him. 21The 21sons of Benjamin: Bela and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, 22Ehi and Rosh, 23Muppim and 24Huppim and Ard. 22These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob; there were fourteen persons in all. 23The sons of Dan: 25Hushim. 24The sons of Naphtali: 26Jahzeel and Guni and Jezer and 27Shillem. 25These are the 28sons of Bilhah, whom 29Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, and she bore these to Jacob; there were seven persons in all. 2630All the persons belonging to Jacob, who came to Egypt, 31his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob’s sons, were sixty-six persons in all, 27and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt were 32two; 33all the persons of the house of Jacob, who came to Egypt, were seventy.
