Exegesis
The construct phrase orekh yamim {אֹרֶךְ יָמִים | ʾō-reḵ yā-mîm} “length of days” and its parallel shnot chayyim {שְׁנוֹת חַיִּים | šə-nō-wōṯ ḥay-yîm} “years of life” emphasize successive extensions of lifespan.
In context — Proverbs 3:2
For they will lengthen your days and add years to your life, together with peace.
