What does Genesis 47:28 mean?
Jacob's large family settled in Egypt and grew larger (Genesis 46:26). With Joseph's provision, and under the authority of Pharaoh, they thrived and prospered (Genesis 47:6). Jacob survived many more years, despite his assumption that he was near death (Genesis 46:30). When his end finally comes, 17 years after the move to Egypt, he will be 147 years old.As Jacob told Pharaoh (Genesis 47:9), he will not live to the same age as his fathers. Isaac lived to 180 years old (Genesis 35:28–29) and Abraham to 175 (Genesis 25:7–10). Jacob's most prominent son, Joseph, will live to be 110 years old (Genesis 50:26), as lifespans on the earth continue to grow shorter and shorter.
