Israel Oppressed
1 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, which came into Egypt (each man and his household came with Jacob): 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah; 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin; 4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 5 All the people who came from the seed of Jacob were seventy people, but Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation. 7 Nevertheless, the sons of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty,[a] so that the land was filled with them.
