Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons
That is, in all; for there were not seventy besides Jacob and the patriarchs his sons, but with them; see ( Genesis 46:26 Genesis 46:27 ) and now the Lord thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude; as he promised they should be, ( Genesis 15:5 ) .
