⁹ And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, `The days of the years of my sojournings `are' an hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.'

¹⁴ who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing;

²⁸ And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years,

¹ Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!

⁵ Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age `is' as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity `is' every man set up. Selah.

¹² Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And `to' my cry give ear, Unto my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I `am' with Thee, A settler like all my fathers.

¹⁹ A sojourner I `am' on earth, Hide not from me Thy commands.

⁵⁴ Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.

¹¹ Beloved, I call upon `you', as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,

¹⁴ for we have not here an abiding city, but the coming one we seek;

⁹ by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,

¹⁰ for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor `is' God.

¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;

¹² wherefore, also from one were begotten -- and that of one who had become dead -- as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that `is' by the sea-shore -- the innumerable.

¹³ In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted `them', and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,

¹⁴ for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;

¹⁵ and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,

¹⁶ but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

⁶ having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, --

³ Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.

⁴ For a thousand years in Thine eyes `are' as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.

⁵ Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.

⁶ In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.

⁷ For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

⁹ For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

¹⁰ Days of our years, in them `are' seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet `is' their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.

¹¹ Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath?

¹² To number our days aright let `us' know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

⁴⁷ Remember, I pray Thee, what `is' life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?

⁴⁸ Who `is' the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.

¹⁶ And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations;

¹⁷ and Job dieth, aged and satisfied `with' days.

⁸ For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers,

⁹ (For of yesterday we `are', and we know not, For a shadow `are' our days on earth.)

¹¹ And Shem liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

²⁴ And Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth Terah.

²⁵ And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

⁷ And these `are' the days of the years of the life of Abraham, which he lived, a hundred and seventy and five years;

⁸ and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.

²⁸ and Jacob liveth in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are an hundred and forty and seven years.

²⁶ And Joseph dieth, a son of an hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.

⁴ and also I have established My covenant with them, to give to them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they have sojourned;

⁷ and Moses `is' a son of eighty years, and Aaron `is' a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.

⁷ And Moses `is' a son of a hundred and twenty years when he dieth; his eye hath not become dim, nor hath his moisture fled.

²⁹ And it cometh to pass, after these things, that Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,

³² and Barzillai `is' very aged, a son of eighty years, and he hath sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he `is' a very great man;

³³ and the king saith unto Barzillai, `Pass thou over with me, and I have sustained thee with me in Jerusalem.'

³⁴ And Barzillai saith unto the king, `How many `are' the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?

³⁵ A son of eighty years I `am' to-day; do I know between good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for a burden unto my lord the king?

¹⁵ for sojourners we `are' before Thee, and settlers, like all our fathers; as a shadow `are' our days on the land, and there is none abiding.

²⁷ And all the days of Methuselah are nine hundred and sixty and nine years, and he dieth.
