*Still young nigga, still capable of doing great things.

Life is short. You aren't old. You know what I've been wondering lately? It's my first time actually reading the bible from start to finish (I'm just curious, ok), and as the lineage of "man" unfolds, each generation went from living long ass lifespans (like 845) to living to 92. Wtf happened? God even fucked with Abram (gave him the Abraham lineage and name! Vamped up from Abram!) but his life-span was still shot by like 500 years compared to his fore-fathers.

Imagine if we had life-spans like that today? lol 50 years would be a joke (it still is imho, we live so fucking short. Just long enough to participate in the world that came before us, and see the new world forming). There was some dudes in the bible who didn't bust their first nut until they were like 72, dead ass. lmao. Imagine having your first kid/busting your first nut at 72? And living to be 889 years old? Geeze.

Even crazier when people's lifespan was like 36 or 42.

Imagine being the underaged semi-disposable wife of some 72 year old dude?

I never bought that old age shit. Maybe it's weeks or seasons or some other terrible translation - or more miracle shit.

If he's 72 but lives to 845, is he like 8yo in our years? Or is he old and wrinkly and broken at 72 - and only getting worse? NONE of it makes any sense.
