Mesopotamia (Iraq) (search for this): book 2, section 176
Jacob, encouraged by this dream, went on more cheerfully for Egypt
with his sons, and all belonging to them. Now they were in all seventy.
I once, indeed, thought it best not to set down the names of this family,
especially because of their difficult pronunciation [by the Greeks]; but,
upon the whole, I think it necessary to mention those names, that I may
disprove such as believe that we came not originally from Mesopotamia,
but are Egyptians. Now Jacob had twelve sons; of these Joseph was come
thither before. We will therefore set down the names of Jacob's children
and grandchildren. Reuben had four sons - Anoch, Phallu, Assaron, Charmi.
Simeon had six - Jamuel, Jamin, Avod, Jachin, Soar, Saul. Levi had three
sons - Gersom, Caath, Merari. Judas had three sons - Sala, Phares, Zerah;
and by Phares two grandchildren, Esrom and Amar. Issachar had four sons
- Thola, Phua, Jasob, Samaron. Zabulon had with him three sons - Sarad,
Helon, Jalel. So far is the posterity of Lea; with whom went

forementioned number [70] is completed All the Greek copies of Josephus have the negative particle here, that
Jacob himself was not reckoned one of the 70 souls that came into Egypt;
but the old Latin copies want it, and directly assure us he was one of
them. It is therefore hardly certain which of these was Josephus's true
reading, since the number 70 is made up without him, if we reckon Leah
for one; but if she be not reck
