Exegesis
The adjective kabir {כַּבִּיר | kabbîr} ‘great’ is applied to yamim {יָמִים | yāmîm} ‘days,’ a common Hebrew idiom in which “days” stands metonymically for length of life and accumulated experience; the comparison is sharpened by me-avikha {מֵאָבִיךָ | mē-ʾāḇîkā} ‘than your father.’ The sentence’s compact, nominal style (no explicit finite verb) heightens rhetorical force, making the claim sound like an established fact rather than an argument.
In context — Job 15:10
Both the gray-haired and the very aged are with us , greater in days than your father.
