Exegesis
The closing clause anoki hayyom ben-chamesh ushmonim shanah {אָנֹכִי הַיּוֹם בֶּן־חָמֵשׁ וּשְׁמוֹנִים שָׁנָה | ʾānōkî hayyôm ben-ḥāmēš ûšmōnîm šānāh} presents the age idiom as a climactic confirmation: the speaker’s current state verifies the long-term reliability of what YHWH said.
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.
