Bible Question:  How many years were there between Joseph and Moses

Bible Answer:  The Israelites lived in Egypt for 350 years at the time of the birth of Moses.

The Israelites lived in Egypt for 286 years at the time of the death of Joseph.

350 (Moses birth) - 286 (Joseph's death) equals 64 years between Joseph's death and Moses' birth.


The math follows:

Joseph

From the time Israel was formed (the covenant of Genesis 12) to the death of Joseph was 25 plus 60 plus 130 plus 71 equals 286 years.

1) 25 Years. Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born (Gen. 25:1), but the covenant of Genesis 12 was made when Abraham was 75, so the Israelites had lived in Egypt for 25 years when Isaac was born .

2) 60 Years. Isaac was 60 when Jacob was born (Gen. 25:26)

3) 130 years. Jacob went down into Egypt at age 130 (Gen. 47:9).

4) 71 years. Joseph lived to be 110 (Gen. 50:26). Joseph was 39 when Jacob arrived in Goshen at age 130 (Gen. 45:6).


Moses

1) Moses was 80 years old at the time of the Exodus (Ex. 7:7)

2) The time that the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years. (Ex. 12:40)

The Israelites lived in Egypt for 430 - 80 equals 350 years at the time of Moses birth.
