1. Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
2. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3. Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4. Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5. All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6. Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.
7. The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8. Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn’t know Joseph.
9. He said to his people, “Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.
10. Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies, and fight against us, and escape out of the land.”
