5:26 You will come to your grave in a full age, 1
As stacks of grain are harvested in their season.
92:14 They bear fruit even when they are old;
they are filled with vitality and have many leaves. 2
1 tn The word translated “in a full age” has been given an array of meanings: “health; integrity”; “like a new blade of corn”; “in your strength [or vigor].” The numerical value of the letters in the word בְכֶלָח (bÿkhelakh, “in old age”) was 2, 20, 30, and 8, or 60. This led some of the commentators to say that at 60 one would enter the ripe old age (E. Dhorme, Job, 73).
2 tn Heb “they are juicy and fresh.”
