Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived 110 years.

So God was kind to Shiphrah and Puah. And the number of Israelites became even greater.

Dan, Naphtali, Gad and Asher.

After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his whole family. The total number of people was 75.

Long ago, your people went down into Egypt. The total number of them was 70. And now the Lord your God has made you as many as the stars in the sky.

He had 70 sons of his own. That’s because he had many wives.
