Exodus

40 chapters, 1213 verses. The 2nd of 66 books, in The Law.

How it begins

1Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):

2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

4Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.

5All the souls who came out of Jacob’s body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already.

6Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation.

7The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

8Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn’t know Joseph.
