In 2298 AM (1706 BC), Gad entered [[Egypt]] permanently, having visited Egypt twice before to buy grain during the famine of 2296-2302 AM (1708-1701 BC). He was 47 years old at the time and had seven named sons: [[Ziphion]], [[Haggi]], [[Shuni]], [[Ezbon]], [[Eri]], [[Arodi]], and [[Areli]]. ({{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=46|verses=16}})
