Thank you, Steve. I have been looking for this answer, I knew it was
something reasonable but I couldn't put my finger on it. Joseph, his wife,
and
their two children would bring it to seventy. Didn't realize Simeon was
there
with his family. Good solution. Where did you find that Simeon was in
already
in Egypt?
