The Prophecy of PE
Esav and Yoseph have no number assigned by PE. Therefore, we treat both in the same way, in the following diagram:
The two ages of 144, correspond to the two eschatological 144 periods, 5708 + 144 = 5501 + 351, where 11! + 182 = (18*351)2, and one half of 288. The age of Yishmael, 137, is one half of 274; both one-halves are according to 13! + 2882 = (288*274)2.
The age of Sarah, 127, is the period from 5366 until 5493, according to 10! + 152 = (15*127)2.
The ages of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya'akov, are 175, 180, 147, a mathematical series that leads to 144.
This is the prophecy of PE.

The Structure of PE
Four things to notice about PE.
Firstly, the text PE identifies the place of Yisrael as the land of Rameses, and not as the land of Goshen. The phraseכַּאֲשֶׁר, צִוָּה פַרְעֹה was possibly added to obfuscate the fact.
Secondly, the text has an alternative tradition about Ma'arat HaMachpelah, according to which only Avraham and Sarah are buried there.
Thirdly, the large abundance of numbers. The message is through them.
Fourthly, note how every person mentioned by name, is introduced: Sarah, his wife; Yitzchak and Yishmael, his sons; Esav and Ya'akov, his sons; and Ya'akov, his (i.e., Yoseph's) father.

The Text of PE
Here is the combined text of PE:
And Sarah's life was a hundred years and twenty years and seven years: the years of Sarah's life. And these are the days of the years of Avraham's life that he lived: a hundred years and seventy years and five years, and he expired. And Yitzchak and Yishmael, his sons, buried him at the cave of Machpelah at the field of Ephron, son of Zohar, the Hittite, facing Mamre, the field that Avraham had bought from the children of Heth. Avraham was buried there -- and Sarah, his wife. And the field and the cave that was in it were established for Avraham as a posession for a tomb from the children of Heth.
And these are the years of Yishmael's life: a hundred years and thirty years and seventy years, and he expired. And Yitzchak's days were a hundred years and eighty years, and he expired. And Esav and Ya'akov, his sons, buried him.
And Yoseph brought Ya'akov, his father, and stood him in front of Par'oh. And Ya'akov blessed Par'oh. And Par'oh said to Ya'akov, "How many are the days of the years of your life?" And Ya'akov said to Par'oh, "The days of the years of my residences are a hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and bad, and they haven't attained the days of the years of my father's lives, in the days of their residences." And Ya'akov blessed Par'oh and went out from in front of Par'oh. And Yoseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Mitzraim, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses. And Yoseph supported his father and his brothers and all of his father's household, bread by the number of infants. And they were fruitful and multiplied very much. And Ya'akov lived in the land of Mitzraim seventeen years. And Ya'akov's days, the years of his life, were seven years and a hundred forty years, and he expired.

And here is the translation in English:And Sarah's life was a hundred years and twenty years and seven years: the years of Sarah's life. And these are the days of the years of Avraham's life that he lived: a hundred years and seventy years and five years, and he expired. And Yitzchak and Yishmael, his sons, buried him at the cave of Machpelah at the field of Ephron, son of Zohar, the Hittite, facing Mamre, the field that Avraham had bought from the children of Heth. Avraham was buried there -- and Sarah, his wife. And the field and the cave that was in it were established for Avraham as a posession for a tomb from the children of Heth.
And these are the years of Yishmael's life: a hundred years and thirty years and seventy years, and he expired. And Yitzchak's days were a hundred years and eighty years, and he expired. And Esav and Ya'akov, his sons, buried him.
And Yoseph brought Ya'akov, his father, and stood him in front of Par'oh. And Ya'akov blessed Par'oh. And Par'oh said to Ya'akov, "How many are the days of the years of your life?" And Ya'akov said to Par'oh, "The days of the years of my residences are a hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and bad, and they haven't attained the days of the years of my father's lives, in the days of their residences."
