Job 42:16

42:16 After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

Deuteronomy 34:7

34:7 Moses was 120 years old when he died, but his eye was not dull ¹  nor had his vitality ²  departed.

Joshua 14:10-11

14:10 So now, look, the Lord has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the Lord spoke these words to Moses, during which Israel traveled through the wilderness. Now look, I am today eighty-five years old. 14:11 Today I am still as strong as when Moses sent me out. I can fight and go about my daily activities with the same energy I had then. ³ 

Psalms 103:5

103:5 who satisfies your life with good things, ⁴ 

so your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. ⁵ 

Hosea 2:15

2:15 From there I will give back her vineyards to her,

and turn the “Valley of Trouble” ⁶  into an “Opportunity ⁷  for Hope.”

There she will sing as she did when she was young, ⁸ 

when ⁹  she came up from the land of Egypt.

[34:7]  ¹ tn Or “dimmed.” The term could refer to dull appearance or to dimness caused by some loss of visual acuity.

[34:7]  ² tn Heb “sap.” That is, he was still in possession of his faculties or liveliness.

[14:11]  ³ tn Heb “like my strength then, like my strength now, for battle and for going out and coming in.”

[103:5]  ⁴ tc Heb “who satisfies with the good of your ornaments.” The text as it stands makes little, if any, sense. The translation assumes an emendation of עֶדְיֵךְ (’ed’ekh, “your ornaments”) to עֹדֵכִי (’odekhiy, “your duration; your continuance”) that is, “your life” (see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 [WBC], 18).

[103:5]  ⁵ sn The expression your youth is renewed like an eagle’s may allude to the phenomenon of molting, whereby the eagle grows new feathers.

[2:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “Valley of Achor,” so named because of the unfortunate incident recorded in Josh 7:1-26 (the name is explained in v. 26; the Hebrew term Achor means “disaster” or “trouble”). Cf. TEV, CEV “Trouble Valley.”

[2:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “door” or “doorway”; cf. NLT “gateway.” Unlike the days of Joshua, when Achan’s sin jeopardized Israel’s mission and cast a dark shadow over the nation, Israel’s future return to the land will be marked by renewed hope.

[2:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “as in the days of her youth” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[2:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “as in the day when” (so KJV, NASB).
