⁵ The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy^[a] in all;^(A) Joseph was already in Egypt.

²² Your ancestors who went down into Egypt were seventy in all,^(A) and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.^(B)

²⁶ All those who went to Egypt with Jacob—those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons’ wives—numbered sixty-six persons.^{(A) 27} With the two sons^[a] who had been born to Joseph in Egypt,^(B) the members of Jacob’s family, which went to Egypt, were seventy^[b] in all.^(C)

²⁰ So God was kind to the midwives^(A) and the people increased and became even more numerous.

³⁰ He had seventy sons^(A) of his own, for he had many wives.
