To calculate Jacob’s years, when he left home, for example, note the sequence:
1. Start with Jacob’s age when he stood before Pharaoh. 2. Note that Joseph at that same time was 39 (30 when made Governor + 7 yrs plenty + 2 yrs famine). 3. Therefore Jacob
was 91 when Joseph was born. (130-39=91) 4. Joseph was born when Jacob finished his 14 years work for his 2 wives. 5. This means he was 77 when he left home / began
working for Laban. (91-14=77) References for each step can be found above.
