Exegesis
The predicative phrase zaken me’od {זָקֵן מְאֹד | za-qen me-'od} ‘very old’ describes the subject.
The conjunction ki {כִּי | ki} ‘for’ introduces a causal verbless clause in which ish gadol hu me’od {אִישׁ גָּדוֹל הוּא מְאֹד | ish ga-dol hu me-'od} ‘he was a very great man’ employs ish {אִישׁ | ish} ‘man’ as a predicate nominal.
The repetition of me’od {מְאֹד | me-'od} intensifies both age and stature. English renders the Hebrew verb-first and verbless clauses into subject–verb order and uses ‘for’ to preserve the causal relation.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:32
Now Barzillai was very old, and he had provided provisions to the king during his stay in Mahanaim , for he was a very great man.
