The following table shows that 70 named people went to Mitsrayim (Egypt) (Gen 46:27) including Ya‘aqov (Jacob), his 3 wives that were alive, & his 66 children and grandchildren (Gen 46:26). 73 people are named of the 75 people in Mitsrayim (Egypt) once the 70 were there, 2 are not named (Acts 7:14). One unnamed person was a female from Le’ah, as there are 32 named descendants and 33 counted descendants from Le’ah who were in Mitsrayim (Egypt) (Gen 46:8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15). Also, Dinah is the only female named, but Gen 46:15 states “daughters” (plural) (Gen 46:15). The other unnamed person had to be in Mitsrayim (Egypt) from the family of Yoseph (Joseph), an unnamed daughter.
