seventy-five: Compare this number with the seventy mentioned in the Hebrew text of Genesis 46:27. The number seventy-five probably comes from the Septuagint, the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament. The Septuagint includes three people descended from Ephraim and two of Manasseh in 46:20. This adds five more people. The Hebrew text does not include those descended from Joseph’s sons. New Testament authors mostly quote from the Septuagint, which sometimes differs from the Hebrew Masoretic Text.
