When Jacob went to Egypt and Pharoah asked his age, he said he was 130. Joseph had entered the service of Pharoah at age 30. So Joseph was 39 at that time, 30 plus the 7 years of plenty plus 2 years of famine. Joseph, therefore, was born when Jacob was 91. Joseph was born when Jacob was still in Padan-Aram and Jacob was there for 20 years. It appears that he was born about 6 years before Jacob left Padan-Aram, so Jacob was in Padan-Aram from age 77 to 97, give or take a couple years. Even if Joseph was born right before the flight from Laban, that would still put Jacob's time in Padan-Aram from age 71-91. Bible story books convey the impression that Jacob was a teenager or young-20's when he deceived Isaac. Not so. He was still a bachelor Mama's Boy at age 70! This puts the story in new perspective if it is so. Please, someone show me where my logic is way off!
