parshanut torah comment - Yakkov living in Egypt 17 years - connection to 210 years of servitude


Parshas Vayechi starts off that Yaakov lived in Egypt for 17 years. I was thinking that 17 years x 12 months = 204 months. Usually in 17 years there are 6 leap years which would increase the total number of months that Yaakov lived in Egypt to 210 months. Are there any commentaries that discuss a connection between Yaakov's 210 months in Egypt and the 210 years that the Jews were enslaved in Egypt?
