- Hebrew שֵׂיבָה denotes old age with emphasis on the physical marker of gray hair, while Greek γῆρας denotes the state of senility or extreme old age itself; the LXX regularly uses γῆρας to render שֵׂיבָה in contexts describing advanced age (e.g., Genesis 42:38, 44:29, 44:31), establishing it as the standard Greek equivalent for this Hebrew term's semantic range.
