¿What does the elderly Bible say?

Abstract

The documentary review type article highlights the role of the elderly in Sacred Scripture who was called “Elder”, a term used to refer to those chosen by God thanks to his wisdom and mission to guide people who strayed from the path or who wanted closely follow the Lord God. In this article we recognize the importance of elderly men close to the Almighty but also women who, with their service, loved and worked for God and their fellowmen; similarly, it highlights how older adults supported by the Word of God, not only prayed, preached and helped others, but also performed a priesthood so that others could fall in love with Yahweh. This experience invites us to be like these Elders who listened to God, loving and serving him. Psalm 92, 14 reminds us “Even in old age they will bear fruit; they will be vigorous and very green”.
