וּבְנֵ֥י יוֹסֵ֛ף אֲשֶׁר־יֻלַּד־ל֥וֹ בְמִצְרַ֖יִם נֶ֣פֶשׁ שְׁנָ֑יִם כָּל־הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ לְבֵֽית־יַעֲקֹ֛ב הַבָּ֥אָה מִצְרַ֖יְמָה שִׁבְעִֽים׃ (פ)
I figli poi di Giuseppe, nati a lui in Egitto, persone due. Le persone della casa di Giacobbe, andate in Egitto, [coi tre che già vi erano, e Giacobbe stesso] erano in tutto settanta.

On the other hand, the Jewish nation’s weltanschauung is pure monotheism. We see the One everywhere. As a result, the seventy members of Jacob’s family are referred to in the Torah as ha-nefesh le- bais le-Yaakov, “the soul to the house of Jacob” (Gen. 46:27). Seventy different bodies were all parts of one soul.280Rashi ibid. See further Da’as Tefillah pg. 155.
