Now these are the ^anames of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; they came each one ¹with his household: 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah; 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin; 4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 5 And all the ¹persons who came from the loins of Jacob were ^aseventy ²in number, but Joseph was already in Egypt. 6 ^aThen Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation. 7 But the sons of Israel ^awere fruitful and ¹increased and multiplied and became exceedingly ²mighty, so that the land was filled with them.
