Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Genesis 46:19

The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.

The sons Rachel, Jacob’s wife,…. The wife of his affection and choice, his principal wife, yea, his only lawful wife; Zilpah and Bilhah were his concubines, and as for Leah, she was imposed and forced upon him:

Joseph and Benjamin; the first was in Egypt already, the other now went down with Jacob.

Verses 19-22:

Ard. These are the sons of Rachel which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.”

Joseph’s sons were born in Egypt, of his wife Asenath. They are included in the list of the “seventy” who accompanied Jacob to Egypt.

It is likely that at least some of Benjamin’s children where born in Egypt, the youngest of Jacob’s twelve sons. The record lists ten sons as Benjamin’s. From 1Ch 7:15 we learn that Benjamin had at least one daughter, Maachah, who married Machir, grandson of Manasseh.

The number of Jacob’s children by Rachel, including grandchildren, is fourteen. This does. not include the wives, nor the daughters.
