It can refer to the extension of days or life, emphasizing the idea of longevity or enduring time.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, longevity was often seen as a sign of divine blessing and favor. The concept of a prolonged life was associated with wisdom, righteousness, and the fulfillment of God's promises.
