Deuteronomy 26:5

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.

Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.

And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:

And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.

So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.

And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.

The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
