"So the total number of Jacob's direct descendants who went to with him to Egypt, NOT COUNTING HIS SON'S WIVES, was SIXTY-SIX." (Gen.46:26 NLT New Living Translation)
" Joseph also had TWO SONS who had been born to him IN EGYPT. So altogether, there were SEVENTY MEMEBERS of Jacob's family in the land of Egypt..." (verse 27).
So, the sixty-six of verse 26, plus FOUR: Jacob himself, and Joseph, and his two sons who were already in Egypt made SEVENTY. NOT COUNTING however many wives, daughters, handmaids, servants, etc., that went also.

Why did the Israelites leave Canaan and go to Egypt?
There was a drought and famine in Jacob's time, so the Israelites went to Egypt because "there was grain in Egypt".

Jacob's other sons came and requested some of the grain that Joseph had saved. When Joseph reunited with his brothers, he eventually had the rest of the family brought down to Egypt, to protect them from the famine. They stayed in the Land of Goshen as guests of the Pharaoh. Later on, in Moses' time, the Israelites had to leave Egypt and go to Canaan in order to escape their enslavement.
