Deuteronomy 10:22

“Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons, etc.] That is, in all; for there were not seventy besides Jacob and the patriarchs his sons, but with them; (see <014626>Genesis 46:26,27) and now the Lord thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude; as he promised they should be, (<011505>Genesis 15:5).”

“with threescore: And now, from so small a beginning, they are multiplied to more than 600,000 men, besides women and children; and this, indeed, in the space of 40 years; for the 603,000 which came out of Egypt were at this time all dead, except Moses, Joshua, and Caleb. How easy can God increase and multiply, as well as diminish and bring low! In all things, by his omnipotence, he can do whatsoever he will; and he will do whatsoever is right. Gen 46:27; Exo 1:5; Act 7:14 as the stars: Deu 1:10, Deu 28:62; Gen 15:5; Num 26:51, Num 26:62; Neh 9:23; Heb 11:12 Next: Deuteronomy Chapter 11”

“One marvel among these great and terrible acts of the Lord as to be seen in Israel itself, which had gone down to Egypt in the persons of its fathers as a family consisting of seventy souls, and now, notwithstanding the oppression it suffered there, had grown into an innumerable nation. So marvellously had the Lord fulfilled His promise in Gen 15:5. By referring to this promise, Moses intended no doubt to recall to the recollection of the people the fact that the bondage of Israel in a foreign land for 400 years had also been foretold ( Gen 15:13.). On the seventy souls, see at Gen 46:26-27. Next: Deuteronomy Chapter 11”
