The first number given to Yakob’s descendants is 66. This group is identified as those who migrated to Egypt with Jacob. Excluded are Er and Onan, for they are already dead, Yosef, Manasseh, and Ephraim are already in Egypt. So, eliminating those five names from the seventy listed brings the number to sixty-five, but sixty-six is obtained by the addition of Dinah.
70 is a multiple of 10 = perfection, perfect completion and a multiple of 7 = completion. Shavah is 7 we just saw that in Beersheba, but 7 or shavah means full, complete done. So the real message here is that this is an inspired number of souls. 70 is the entire family of Yakob who will go down to Egypt. That is one meaning here. People have discussed Vs 26-27 of this CH for centuries.
