In the Hebrew Bible, old age is frequently portrayed as a time of honor and dignity, where the elderly are valued for their life experiences and insights.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, old age was highly esteemed. Elders were often leaders in the community, serving as judges, counselors, and repositories of tradition and wisdom. The respect for the elderly is rooted in the commandment to honor one's father and mother (Exodus 20:12), and the broader cultural value placed on family and community continuity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/2207.htm">zoqen</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>old age<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>old (2), old age (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">זִקְנָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>old age</b></font> — <font class="hebrew2">זִקְנָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/71-9.htm">Psalm 71:9</a> 2t.;
