(KJV.) GENESIS 4623-29
Jacob goes to Egypt
(23) And the sons of Dan: Hushim.
(24) And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jazer, and Shillem.
(25) These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
(26) All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's son' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
(27) And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
(28) And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
(29) And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
ADDENDUM
How come, the household of Jacob which migrated from Canaan into Egypt were sixty-six souls but when they were counted from inside the land of Egypt, they were threescores and ten souls?
I thank you for glancing through the scriptures with me!
