The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
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).
