At the time that Jehovah spoke to Moses, the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had long been dead ​ — Abraham for 329 years, Isaac for 224, and Jacob for 197.
Selleks ajaks, kui Jehoova Moosesega rääkis, olid patriarhid Aabraham, Iisak ja Jaakob juba kaua surnud olnud: Aabraham 329, Iisak 224 ja Jaakob 197 aastat.
