Old age, advanced years
The state of being elderly, the final stage of human life characterized by advancing years. In Luke 1:36, the angel tells Mary that her relative Elizabeth has conceived in her old age, making the pregnancy miraculous. The word captures not just the number of years but the physical condition and social status of someone in the twilight of life, when childbearing would normally be impossible.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Indicates the condition of being advanced in years. The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'vejez', French 'vieillesse') consistently point to the elderly stage of life. Luke 1:36 uses this term to emphasize the supernatural nature of Elizabeth's pregnancy, as she has passed the normal age of childbearing, making her conception parallel to Sarah's in Genesis and foreshadowing the even greater miracle of Mary's virgin conception. 1×
