[Steve Miller] Yes, very interesting. There
are 3 Tanach verses involved here. The MT
consistently has 70, whereas the LXX has 75
in both Gen 46:27 & Exo 1:5. In Gen 46:20 LXX
gives the names of 5 additional descendants
of Joseph. The DSS does not have Gen 46:20 or
27, but it has Exo 1:5 and it says 75,
agreeing with the NT and LXX. The Samaritan
Pentateuch says 70 agreeing with the MT.
