Exodus 1:5 in the King James Version, which is based on the Hebrew, Masoretic Text, reads that the house of Jacob was comprised of “seventy” people when they entered Egypt.
However, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Greek Septuagint read that it was comprised of “seventy-five” people when they left Egypt, which is also consistent with Genesis 46:27 in the Septuagint and Acts 7:14 in the New Testament. This is how it is rendered in this version.
