Abstract:
The first five verses of the Book of Exodus enumerate the names of Jacob’ssons and the sum total of the group that descended to Egypt. This passage,which is an abstract of the list of the descendants of Jacob who came toEgypt in Gen 46:8–27, has six textual witnesses. In addition to the threecomplete witnesses – the Masoretic text, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and theSeptuagint – the passage has been partially preserved in three fragmentaryscrolls from Qumran: 4QpaleoGen–Exodl (4Q11), 4QGen–Exoda (4Q1),and 4QExodb (4Q13). These six textual witnesses display quite a fewvariants, including the number of people who descended to Egypt (70 vs.75). In this article I discuss the variants, trace the evolution of the differenttexts, and present a reconstruction of the original version of these verses,with special attention to the contribution of 4QExodb.
