Genesis 47:9

And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage [are] an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

And Jacob {H3290} said {H559} unto Pharaoh {H6547}, The days {H3117} of the years {H8141} of my pilgrimage {H4033} are an hundred {H3967} and thirty {H7970} years {H8141}: few {H4592} and evil {H7451} have the days {H3117} of the years {H8141} of my life {H2416} been, and have not attained {H5381} unto the days {H3117} of the years {H8141} of the life {H2416} of my fathers {H1} in the days {H3117} of their pilgrimage {H4033}.

and Ya'akov replied, "The time of my stay on earth has been 130 years; they have been few and difficult, fewer than the years my ancestors lived."

“My travels have lasted 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My years have been few and hard, and they have not matched the years of the travels of my fathers.”

And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
