Exodus 1:1-7

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.

7But their descendants, the Israelites, had many children and grandchildren. In fact, they multiplied so greatly that they became extremely powerful and filled the land.
