Genesis 46:26-30

Genesis 46:26-30 NCV

So the total number of Jacob’s direct descendants who went to Egypt was sixty-six, not counting the wives of Jacob’s sons. Joseph had two sons born in Egypt, so the total number in the family of Jacob in Egypt was seventy. Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to see Joseph in Goshen. When Jacob and his people came into the land of Goshen, Joseph prepared his chariot and went to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as Joseph saw his father, he hugged him, and cried there for a long time. Then Israel said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, because I have seen your face and I know you are still alive.”
