“All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were threescore and six;”
All those who went to Egypt with Jacob — those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons' wives — numbered sixty-six persons. The sixty-six direct descendants — not counting daughters-in-law — is the narrowest count of the covenant family entering Egypt. The application: the specific number is significant: this is the covenant family at the point of entry into the formation period that will produce the nation.
