Best Answer

When reading Genesis and you take a literal account of all the years that each individual lived and died then create a time line through until Joseph's death in Egypt the time line covers 2416 yrs.

The time line is easy, yet tedious, to follow until you get to the birth of Joseph and his brothers because at this point in Scripture It doesn't tell you how old Jacob was at the time of Joseph's birth. We can figure this out be working backwards from the time Jacob meets Pharaoh and work the time line backwards figuring Jacob was 91 when Joseph was born.
