How many years This phrase reflects a common ancient Near Eastern practice of inquiring about a person's age, which was often associated with wisdom and experience. In Hebrew, the word for "years" is "שָׁנִים" (shanim), which not only denotes the passage of time but also carries connotations of cycles and seasons. This inquiry by Pharaoh is not merely about the number of years but also an acknowledgment of the life experiences and the wisdom that Jacob, as an elder, would have accumulated.
