📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of the genealogical record at the beginning of Exodus, listing the twelve sons of Jacob (also called Israel) who migrated to Egypt during a severe famine. These four sons - Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher - would later become the founding fathers of four of the twelve tribes of Israel. This migration occurred around 1876 BC when Joseph, one of Jacob's sons, had risen to power in Egypt and invited his family to settle there during the famine.
