This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
threescore and ten: Threescore and six were before mentioned (Gen 46:26), so that Joseph and his two sons, together with Jacob himself, complete the seventy persons here enumerated; and the number in Gen 46:15, Gen 46:18, Gen 46:22, and Gen 46:25 amount to that number. The addition of five persons in the LXX in Gen 46:20, was either the cause or the consequence of another difference here; for in that version the number is seventy-five (Gen 46:15, Gen 46:18, Gen 46:22, Gen 46:25). Exo 1:5, Exo 24:1; Deu 10:22; Act 7:14
