Exegesis
The nominal expression orekh yamim {אֹרֶךְ יָמִים | ʾō-rēḵ yā-mîm} ‘length of days’ functions as the first colon theme, followed by the prepositional phrase bi-yeminah {בִּימִינָהּ | bī-yə-mī-nāh} ‘in her right hand’ to establish placement.
In context — Proverbs 3:16
In her right hand is length of days; in her left hand are riches and honor .
