In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of
the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst

earth forty days and forty nights. Genesis 7:11-12 NIV
Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to
Pharaoh. Exodus 7:7 NIV
Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be
born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of
ninety?" And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your
blessing!" Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son,
and you will call him Isaac. Genesis 17:17-19 NIV
There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the
tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven
years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.
She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke
about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of
Jerusalem. Luke 2:36-38 NIV
