Génesis 47:8 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 47:8

And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, how old [art] thou?
] Or, "how many are the days of the years of thy life?" which way of speaking Jacob takes up, and very pertinently makes use of in his answer that follows: Dr. Lightfoot F13 thinks Pharaoh had never seen so old a man before, so grave a head, and so grey a beard, and in admiration asked this question.

Génesis 47:8 In-Context

6 la tierra de Egipto est谩 a tu disposici贸n . En lo mejor de la tierra haz habitar a tu padre y a tus hermanos; que habiten en la tierra de Gos茅n, y si sabes que hay hombres capaces entre ellos, ponlos a cargo de mi ganado.
7 Jos茅 trajo a su padre Jacob y lo present贸 a Fara贸n; y Jacob bendijo a Fara贸n.
8 Y Fara贸n dijo a Jacob: 驴Cu谩ntos a帽os tienes?
9 Entonces Jacob respondi贸 a Fara贸n: Los a帽os de mi peregrinaci贸n son ciento treinta a帽os; pocos y malos han sido los a帽os de mi vida, y no han alcanzado a los a帽os que mis padres vivieron en los d铆as de su peregrinaci贸n.
10 Y Jacob bendijo a Fara贸n, y sali贸 de su presencia.
