Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 147 years.

“I have been wandering for 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My life has been short and difficult—I have not lived as long as my forefathers who also wandered from place to place.”
“How much longer do you think I have to live so I could go to Jerusalem and stay there with the king?” Barzillai replied.
