Genesis 27:2

2 cui pater vides inquit quod senuerim et ignorem diem mortis meae

Genesis 27:2 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 27:2

And he said, behold, now I am old
(See Gill on Genesis 27:1): I know not the day of my death;
how soon it will be; everyone knows he must die, but the day and hour he knows not, neither young nor old; and though young men may promise themselves many days and years, an old man cannot, but must or should live in the constant expectation of death.

4 fac mihi inde pulmentum sicut velle me nosti et adfer ut comedam et benedicat tibi anima mea antequam moriar
