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.
Deuteronomy 10:22 "Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.
Acts 7:14 "Then Joseph sent word and invited Jacob his father and all his relatives to come to him, seventy-five persons in all. (NASB ©1995)

threescore and ten. Threescore and six were before mentioned, (ver 26) so that Joseph and his two sons, along with Jacob himself, complete the seventy persons enumerated; and the number in verses 15,18,22, and 25 amount to that number. The addition of five persons in the LXX. in verse 20, was either the cause or the consequence of another difference here; for in that version the number is seventy-five verses 15,18,22,25.
