Ex 1:5

1:5 seventy. See notes Gen. 46:15–27. The number going into Egypt is sometimes given as seventy-five (Acts 7:14), with the difference due to who is counted. The Septuagint text (the Greek Old Testament) adds five of Joseph’s further male descendants, yielding a total of seventy-five. With women and children the total number was over 150.
