Jacob lived for 147 years, according to the Bible.
In the Book of Genesis, after he was reunited with his son Joseph in Egypt, Jacob tells Pharaoh that his years are few and difficult, totaling 130 years at that time. Later, it is noted that he lived an additional 17 years before his death in Egypt. This brings his total lifespan to 147 years, marking him as one of the notable patriarchs in the biblical narrative. Jacob’s long life allowed him to witness the growth of his family and the unfolding of God’s promises to him and his descendants.
