π Jacob’s Life Timeline (by age)
✅ Age 0 – Birth of Jacob and Esau
Isaac was 60 years old (Genesis 25:26).
✅ Approx. Age 15 – Bought Esau’s Birthright
Not explicitly dated, but Jewish tradition places it around age 15, the year Abraham died (Genesis 25:29-34).
✅ Age ~77 – Deceived Isaac & Fled to Paddan-Aram
Genesis 27-28: Jacob deceives Isaac, receives blessing, and flees from Esau.
Calculated based on 20 years with Laban + birth of Joseph + 2 years before moving to Egypt.
✅ Age 84 – Married Leah & Rachel
After 7 years of service to Laban (Genesis 29:20-30).
✅ Age 91 – Joseph was Born
After 7 years for Leah + additional years serving Laban (Genesis 30:22-25).
Jacob was 130 when he moved to Egypt, and Joseph was 39, so:
130 - 39 = 91
✅ Age 108 – Joseph Sold into Egypt
Joseph was 17 (Genesis 37:2); Jacob was 91 at Joseph’s birth:
91 + 17 = 108
✅ Age 120 – Isaac’s Death (Jacob attended funeral)
Isaac died at 180 years old (Genesis 35:28-29).
Isaac was 60 when Jacob was born:
180 - 60 = 120
✅ Age 130 – Jacob Moves to Egypt
Genesis 47:9.
✅ Age 147 – Jacob Dies in Egypt
Genesis 47:28:
> “Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years…”
