The Israelites Oppressed

1 These are the names of the sons of Israel¹ who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family: 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah; 3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin; 4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.² 5 The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy^a in all;³ Joseph was already in Egypt. 6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,⁴ 7 but the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous,⁵ so that the land was filled with them.
