Acts 7:15

The number of people who made the trip and entered Egypt was probably 70 (Genesis 46:26-27; Exodus 1:5; Deuteronomy 10:22). Jacob died safe and blessed under Joseph’s rule. So will Israel end its days under Jesus’ rule in the Millennium. Jacob died in Egypt as did his sons and their immediate descendants. Thus Acts 7:11-15 record a threat to the chosen people and God’s preservation of them, a second testimony to God’s faithfulness in this pericope (cf. Acts 7:9-10).
