1These are the names of the sons of Israel (that is, Jacob) who moved to Egypt with their father, each with his family:

2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,

3Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,

4Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

5In all, Jacob had seventy descendants in Egypt, including Joseph, who was already there.

6In time, Joseph and all of his brothers died, ending that entire generation.
