How old were Joseph's brothers when Joseph died?

Answer 1

The age of Jacob when he meets Pharaoh 130 - Gen 47:9 Less Length of famine before Jacob enters Egypt - 2 - Gen 45:6 Number of years of plenty - 7 - Gen 41:53 Age of Joseph when he explains Pharaoh's dream - 30 - Gen 41:46 Presumed age of Jacob when Joseph is born - 91

Answer 2

The Bible doesn't say specifically. He was 17 when sold into slavery, was in Potiphar's household long enough to make it prosperous, and then spent a couple of years in prison, so he was most likely at least 25-30 when he was made second ruler of Egypt. He was in the post for the seven good years. It was probably a couple of years into the famine before the other sons came down, and Jacob lived in Egypt for 17 years after that. Just adding up the time stated definitely, he couldn't possibly have been less than in his mid-40s, and 50 or even 60 isn't entirely unreasonable.

Answer 3

Joseph was 30 years old when he was given Asenath as his wife. Gen 41:46 He had Manasseh and Ephraim some time with in the 7 years of plenty, because Gen. 41:50, say he had both son's before the year of famine came. So Joseph had to be between 31 and 36 years old. This is taking into consideration that his first son would have to been born at least 9 to 10 months after he was given Asenath, and it could not be after he was 36 because Ephraim was also born before the first year of the famine.
