What does Genesis 46:7 mean?

Jacob and his large family finally arrive in Egypt, having completed their journey from the Promised Land of Canaan. No remnant of Jacob's family has been left behind. They have made the journey to resettle in Egypt as one large and complete group (Genesis 45:16–20). This includes Jacob's 11 sons, their sons, Jacob's own daughters, likely including daughters-in-law, and his sons' daughters. The verse concludes by emphasizing one more time that all of Jacob's offspring were now together in Egypt.

The next passage in Genesis describes the names and relationships of Israel's offspring at this moment in their history.
