According to The Bible, the genealogy of Moses, back as far as Abraham is:

Abraham - lived 175 years

Isaac - lived 180 years

Jacob - lived 147 years

Levi - lived 137 years

Kohath -lived 133 years

Amram - lived 137 years

Moses - lived 120 years

Assuming that Moses is literally the grandson of Kohath, who accompanied Jacob to Egypt, and even assuming the patriarchs really lived to improbably great ages, the genealogy requires Moses to have died at least 40 years before the Exodus. The alternative, if Moses was a real, historical person, is that the genealogy is in some way inaccurate.
