8Now these are the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt:
Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.
9The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
10The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
11The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.
The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul.
14The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
15These are the sons of Leah born to Jacob in Paddan-aram,c in addition to his daughter Dinah. The total number of sons and daughters was thirty-three.
The Children of Zilpah
17The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah.
The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
18These are the sons of Jacob born to Zilpah—whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah—sixteen in all.
The Children of Rachel
19The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
20Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
21The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.
22These are the sons of Rachel born to Jacob—fourteen in all.
The Children of Bilhah
23The son of Dan: Hushim.
24The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
25These are the sons of Jacob born to Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel—seven in all.
26All those belonging to Jacob who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, besides the wives of Jacob’s sons—numbered sixty-six persons. 27And along with Joseph’s two sonswho were born to him in Egypt, in all there were seventymembers of Jacob’s household in Egypt.
Why does God give us all the names of the descendants we can’t pronounce in scripture?
Answer, because He wants us to be able to trace the lineage on Mary, Joseph and Jesus.
“in all there were seventymembers of Jacob’s household in Egypt.”
How many come out of Egypt in Exodus?
600,000 able bodied men, plus the women and children. Estimated 2.4 million people!
Can you trace all of your descendants back to Adam and Eve?
God can!
Blessings, David
