And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
Genesis 46:9 belongs to the account of Joseph ruling in Egypt and meeting his brothers during the seven years of famine. That meeting took place when the famine reached Canaan where Jacob dwelt. Because of that need, ten of Jacob's sons went down to Egypt to buy grain.
When they came before Joseph as ruler they bowed with their faces to the earth, without recognizing him though he knew them. The sight brought his dreams to his mind. When he charged them with being spies they answered that they were true men, twelve brethren with the youngest still with their father and one no longer living.
