Genesis 25:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. The days of the years, etc. - There is a beauty in this expression which is not sufficiently regarded. Good men do not live by centuries, though many such have lived several hundred years, nor do they count their lives even by years, but by days, living as if they were the creatures only of A Day; having no more time than they can with any propriety call their own, and living that day in reference to eternity.
