7:14 Compare this figure with the seventy mentioned in the Hebrew text of Gen 46:27. The number seventy-five is probably taken from the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) for Gen 46:27. The Septuagint includes three descendants of Ephraim and two of Manasseh at Gen 46:20, making for a total of five more persons, whereas the Hebrew text does not include descendants for Joseph’s sons. The New Testament authors often quote from the Septuagint, which sometimes differs from the Hebrew Masoretic Text.
