to_o imagine_v but_o if_o we_o allow_v jacob_n to_o be_v marry_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o first_o seven_o year_n and_o so_o to_o have_v several_a of_o his_o child_n within_o that_o space_n of_o

76_o year_n old_a when_o he_o go_v first_o to_o laban_n which_o appear_v thus_o he_o be_v 130_o year_n old_a when_o he_o stand_v before_o pharaoh_n ch._n 47.9_o and_o then_o joseph_n be_v 40_o year_n

it_o appear_v also_o that_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o 14_o year_n after_o jacob_n come_v to_o laban_n ch._n 30.25_o take_v then_o those_o 14_o year_n before_o joseph_n be_v bear_v and_o the_o 40_o year_n of_o his_o age_n when_o his_o father_n stand_v before_o pharaoh_n out_o of_o his_o father_n age_n at_o that_o time_n which_o be_v 130_o and_o it_o will_v be_v clear_a that_o jacob_n be_v 76._o year_n old_a when_o he_o first_o come_v to_o laban_n now_o this_o be_v so_o judah_n the_o four_o son_n of_o jacob_n by_o leah_n must_v needs_o be_v according_a to_o they_o who_o be_v for_o the_o first_o opinion_n but_o three_o or_o four_o year_n old_a than_o joseph_n jacob_n not_o marry_v leah_n as_o they_o suppose_v till_o after_o his_o first_o seven_o year_n of_o service_n be_v end_v and_o so_o judah_n must_v be_v but_o 43_o or_o 44_o year_n old_a at_o most_o when_o he_o and_o his_o grandchild_n hezron_n and_o hamul_fw-la come_v with_o jacob_n into_o egypt_n to_o compass_v this_o they_o must_v cast_v their_o reckon_n thus_o viz._n that_o judah_n marry_v at_o 12_o year_n old_a and_o have_v er_fw-mi at_o 13_o that_o ere_o marry_v at_o 12_o year_n old_a and_o onan_n his_o young_a

bear_v to_o judah_n pharez_n and_o all_o this_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o three_o year_n that_o pharez_n marry_v at_o 12_o year_n old_a and_o beget_v hezron_n and_o hamul_n and_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v twin_n that_o at_o a_o year_n old_a they_o be_v carry_v into_o egypt_n for_o thus_o the_o reckon_n will_v rise_v to_o the_o 43_o or_o 44th_o year_n of_o judah_n age_n but_o these_o suppose_a reckon_n seem_v very_o harsh_a whereas_o the_o addition_n of_o the_o former_a seven_o year_n give_v fair_a way_n to_o the_o birth_n of_o all_o the_o 12_o child_n and_o give_v further_a scope_n for_o the_o birth_n of_o hezron_n and_o hamul_n in_o the_o 50th_o year_n of_o judah_n age_n and_o that_o opinion_n which_o make_v judah_n to_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o four_o year_n of_o the_o first_o seven_o of_o jacob_n service_n and_o so_o to_o be_v ten_o year_n old_a than_o joseph_n do_v give_v fair_a way_n to_o the_o course_n of_o the_o history_n than_o the_o other_o do_v and_o so_o the_o reckon_n may_v be_v cast_v thus_o viz._n judah_n at_o 16_o year_n old_a come_v into_o canaan_n and_o speedy_o marry_v the_o daughter_n of_o shuah_n in_o the_o next_o year_n have_v er._n er_o marry_v tamar_n
