Genesis 47:7-9

7 Then Joseph brought Jacob (Israel) his father and presented him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 8 And Pharaoh asked Jacob, [a]“How old are you?” 9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The [b]years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty. Few and unpleasant have been the years of my life, and they have [c]not reached the years that my fathers lived during the days of their pilgrimage.”
