And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days of the years of your life?”
#genesis 47:8 #vayigash
Jacob probably looked older than he was. Pharaoh asked him "How many are the days of the years of your life." as if to say "What stories you must have to tell!"
"Few and evil have been my years," He replied. Jacob wasn't bragging or complaining. Just being humble as if to say "Whatever I have accomplished is trivial compared to what my fathers did and none of it by my own power."
