It says in the Posuk that Moshe was 80 years old when he stood before Paroh.This is before the 10 Makkos. The yidden went out of Mitzrayim in Nissan, about 37 days after Moshe’s birthday. No one says the Makkos only took 37 days. There are a number of Makkos that says B’feirush that they took 7 days. That being said, when Moshe stood in front of Paroh, it was before Zayin Adar of that year. If he would have been 80, on his next birthday he would be 81. Then the 40 years in the Midbar would make him 121 which we know is not the case. So it is a Davar Peleh that the Cheshboin doesn’t really shtim? There is a R’ Yaakov Emden that says that the Yidden were in the Midbar for 39 years and that the Torah rounds it off. This is also shver, because the Gemarah goes thru a Cheshbon with the Man showing that it was 40 years.
