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.

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

Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.

And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.

Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
