So Joseph sent and called for Jacob and all his relatives—seventy-five persons.
You must tell my father about all my honor in Egypt, and about all that you’ve seen. And you must quickly bring my father down here.”
Judah’s sons: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez and Zerah. Er died along with Onan in the land of Canaan. Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul.
Then Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
The souls that came out of the line of Jacob numbered 70 in all, while Joseph was already in Egypt.
So those who received his message were immersed, and that day about three thousand souls were added.
Your fathers went down to Egypt with 70 persons, and now Adonai your God has made you like the stars of the heavens in number.
