Scofield Reference Notes

[2] All the souls

(Cf) Gen 46:27. A discrepancy has been imagined. The "souls" that came with Jacob" were 66. The "souls of the house of Jacob" Gen 46:27 i.e. the entire Jacobean family) were 70, viz. the 66 which came with Jacob, Joseph and his two sons, already in Egypt=69; Jacob himself=70. See Scofield Note: "Acts 7:14".

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

46:5-27 We have here a particular account of Jacob's family. Though the fulfilling of promises is always sure, yet it is often slow. It was now 215 years since God had promised Abraham to make of him a great nation, ch. 12:2; yet that branch of his seed, to which the promise was made sure, had only increased to seventy, of whom this particular account is kept, to show the power of God in making these seventy become a vast multitude.


Exodus 1:5 All the persons who came from the loins of Jacob were seventy in number, but Joseph was already in Egypt. (NASB ©1995)
