1. Now these are the Shemot Bnei Yisroel, which came into Mitzrayim; every ish and his bais came with Ya'akov:
2. Reuven, Simeon, Levi, and Yehudah,
3. Yissakhar, Zevulun, and Binyamin,
4. Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5. And all the nefesh that came out of the loins of Ya'akov were seventy nefesh; for Yosef was in Mitzrayim already.
6. And Yosef died, and all his achim, and all that generation.
7. And the Bnei Yisroel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and became exceeding strong; and the land was filled with them.
8. Now there arose a melech chadash over Mitzrayim, which had no da'as of Yosef.
9. And he said unto his people, Hinei, the Am Bnei Yisroel are more and stronger than we.
