Note 14 — DR. COLENSO AND THE OLD TESTAMENT.
Reading edition
The death of Isaac must have taken place just ten years before the Descent into Egypt. Isaac was 60 when Jacob was born (Gen., xxv. 26); and Jacob was 130 when he went down to Egypt (Gen., xlvii. 9): therefore Isaac, if then living, would have been 190. But we know that he died at the age of 180 (Gen., xxxv. 28); that is to say, ten years before.
