Acts 7:11

Now there came a dearth According to the prediction of Joseph, when the seven preceding years of extraordinary plenty were past, which he had also predicted; over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan A calamity which reduced the latter country to such distress, that, fruitful as it had generally been, our fathers found no sustenance Or, not what was sufficient to support themselves and their families. But Jacob, hearing that there was corn in Egypt Ordered his sons to go and fetch a supply from thence; and sent our fathers first Namely, the ten without Benjamin. And at the second time That they went, when Benjamin accompanied them; Joseph was made known to his brethren Of which see on Genesis 44:1. And, as the matter was immediately made public, Joseph's kindred Greek, το γενος, his descent, or race, was discovered to Pharaoh, of which he had not been informed before. Then sent Joseph, and called his father With Pharaoh's full consent; and all his kindred Now become numerous, amounting in the whole even to threescore and fifteen souls So the Seventy interpreters, whom Stephen follows: one son and a grandson of Manasseh, and three children of Ephraim, being added to the seventy persons, mentioned Genesis 46:27. So Bengelius.
