²⁵ These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah,^(AR) whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel^(AS)—seven in all.

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

¹¹ And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age,^(A) was enabled to bear children^(B) because she^[a] considered him faithful^(C) who had made the promise.
