Yaakov said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojournings are one hundred thirty years. Few and hard have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the lives of my fathers in the days of their sojournings.”
English: “One hundred thirty years.” It was taught: Yaakov was sixty-three when he received his father’s blessing; fourteen years until Yosef was born makes seventy-seven; Yosef was thirty when he stood before Pharaoh, making 107; seven years of plenty and two of famine make 116. But Yaakov said 130. Rather, this teaches that the fourteen years he spent in the house of Ever were not counted.
