²² Your fathers went down to Egypt ^(A)seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you ^(B)as numerous as the stars of heaven.

²⁷ And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. ^(A)All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy.

⁵ And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and ^(A)number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, ^(B)“So shall your offspring be.”

⁵ All the descendants of Jacob were ^(A)seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt.

¹⁰ The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, ^(A)you are today as numerous as the stars of heaven.

¹⁴ And ^(A)Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his kindred, ^(B)seventy-five persons in all.

²³ You multiplied their children ^(A)as the stars of heaven, and you brought them into the land that you had told their fathers to enter and possess.

⁶² Whereas ^(A)you were as numerous ^(B)as the stars of heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

⁵¹ This was the list of the people of Israel, ^(A)601,730.

¹² Therefore from one man, and ^(A)him as good as dead, were born descendants ^(B)as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
