Genesis 27:2 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: I know not the day of my death - From his present weakness he had reason to suppose that his death could not be at any great distance, and therefore would leave no act undone which he believed it his duty to perform. He who lives not in reference to eternity, lives not at all.
