So Joseph sent and called for Jacob and all his relatives—seventy-five persons.
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.
The souls that came out of the line of Jacob numbered 70 in all, while Joseph was already in Egypt.
Then Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
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.
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.”
So those who received his message were immersed, and that day about three thousand souls were added.
