All the souls
(Cf) (Gen 46:27). A discrepancy has been imagined. The "souls" that came with Jacob" were 66. The "souls of the house of Jacob" (Gen 46:27) that is, The entire Jacobean family) were 70, namely, The 66 which came with Jacob, Joseph and his two sons, already in Egypt = 69; Jacob himself = 70.
(See Scofield) - (Act 7:14). |
14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
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.
