Definition: The term "agenes" in the Greek Septuagint (KJV) has a broader meaning than simply "ages," although it does imply a specific age, which can range from 10 to 200 years. Here's an example of how it might be used:
1.
Gen. Chapter 36:4-5
: "And the age of the sons of men shall not be two hundred and forty days." (In Greek, "agenes" is translated as "Age.")
The verse tells us that there will be only a set period of time between the birth of Adam to the coming of Jesus, which is considered a lifetime in this context. It means that if the life span for the descendants of Adam were measured, it would be at most 200 years.
2.
Ecclesiastes Chapter 1-2:3
: "And there are no men so long-lived as the ones who do not live to see a thousand years." (In Greek, "agenes" means "long life.") This verse is emphasizing that we cannot measure an individual's lifespan in mere numbers of years.
The metaphor here is very similar to the one in Genesis 36:4-5. It says that it would be impossible for a man to live forever unless he died young and did not age beyond his time.
So, "agenes" is often used to refer to an individual's longevity or lifespan. This could also mean how long something will last indefinitely without having an end.
