30 cze 2021 · Thus, Joseph was possibly at least 5 or 6 years old when Benjamin was born. Thus, Jacob was at least 96 or 97 and Isaac was at least 156 or 157 years old. On this basis, Benjamin was born about 10 years before Joseph was sold (??) into slavery and about 22 years before Isaac died.
Joseph is between 30 and 37 years old. Joseph has his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, during the seven years of plenty that came upon the land before it experienced seven years of famine (Genesis 41:50 - 53). 1670 Jacob is 130 years old.

—Jacob was ninety-one when Joseph was born; but at Benjamin’s birth he was eight or nine years older; and according to the common belief that Jacob was only twenty years in Padan-aram, the four sons of the handmaids must have been about Joseph’s age, and Leah’s last two sons even younger.
We can also deduce that Jacob was eighty years old when Joseph was born, which supports the statement that he was the child of Jacob’s old age (Genesis 37:3), and that Joseph’s promotion coincides with the year of Isaac’s death (Joseph’s story begins at Genesis 37:2 and this is thirteen years before Isaac’s death in Genesis 35:29).
