Khufu may have "reigned/ruled" for 17 years, just like Jacob was in Goshen [Giza/Ergesher] for 17 years.

"One of these inscriptions mentions a workmen's crew named "friends of Khufu" alongside the note "in the year of the 17th cattle count", but it is questioned, if the number of years points to an biennial cattle count, or if the number must be taken verbatim. ... the theory that the cattle count under Khufu was still performed biennially, not annually, as thought earlier. Egyptologists such as Thomas Schneider, Michael Haase, and Rainer Stadelmann wonder if the compiler of the Turin Canon actually took into account that the cattle count was performed biennially during the first half of the Old Kingdom period, whilst tax collection during the 19th dynasty was held every year. ... if the inscription in the relieving chambers point to a biennial cattle count. Indeed, if the compiler of the Turin Canon did not take into account a biennial cattle count...."

length of Khufu's reign theories:
13+1 yrs Dakhla inscription (taken verbatim)
17 yrs Great Pyramid inscription (taken verbatim)
23 yrs Turin King List
26/27 yrs Dakhla inscription (bienniel cattle-count)
34 yrs Great Pyramid inscription (biennial cattle-count)
"46 yrs" one modern orthodox theory (of cattle-count?)
50 yrs Herodotus.
63 yrs Manetho.

(Only the first two numbers are 1st-hand contemporary given numbers, all the rest are later reckoned numbers.)

Also just casually/tentatively

150 years Pyramid Builders reign for (Herodotus).
147 years Jacob's age when died (Genesis).

150 years Pyramid Builders reign for (Herodotus).
300 years from Surid to "flood".
"215" years x 2 from Joseph to Moses.
430 years Joseph to Moses.

106 yrs temples never opened [+ Mycerinus' 6 "more" yrs = 112 yrs?]
110 yrs Joseph died at.

110 yrs Joseph died at.
110 yrs perfect old age (Egyptian).
1000 (100) yrs old Hyperboreans live to.
120 yrs Genesis 6.

One translation of Great Pyramid's name is "lights", and one translation of Djedef-re's is "starry sky". These could of course relate to astronomical alignments/cosmology theories, but they could also/alternatively relate to Joseph's sun & moon & stars dream (and/or Abraham's number of stars promise).

The name Set(h)-ka is linked with Set(h)/Shem.
