Fourscore and four years — These were the years of her life, not her widowhood only. Who departed not from the temple — Who attended there at all the stated hours of prayer. But served God with fastings and prayers — Even at that age. Night and day — That is, spending therein a considerable part of the night, as well as of the day.
