Theological / Devotional

Your days. Compare chapters 4:40; 6:2; 11:9.

As the days of heaven. “As long as the heavens are above the earth” (RSV; cf. Matthew 5:18). The eternity of the heavens was a fixed belief among the Jews, and therefore these words became to them a promise of the enduring nature of their inheritance (see Psalm 72:5, 7, 17; cf. Job 14:12).
