1. When Jacob (Israel) went to Egypt, his sons and their families went with him. Here are the names of those sons:
2. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah,
3. Issachar, Zebulun, Benjamin,
4. Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5. Another son, Joseph, was already in Egypt. So Jacob’s whole family was with him in Egypt—70 descendants in all.
6. Later, Joseph, his brothers, and all the people of that generation died.
