Exegesis
The verse is framed by the repeated discourse marker veattah {וְעַתָּה | wə-ʿattāh} ‘and now’ plus hinneh {הִנֵּה | hinnēh} ‘behold’, creating a two-part structure: first, testimony of divine preservation; second, a present-day age statement.
In context — Joshua 14:10
And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, just as He spoke, these forty-five years since then the LORD spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now, behold, I am today eighty-five years old.
