Footnotes
The Hebrew counts Sarah's years in three deliberate units — "a hundred year, and twenty year, and seven years" (מֵאָה שָׁנָה וְעֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וְשֶׁבַע שָׁנִים) — rather than as a single total, a cadence unique among the patriarchal lifespans. Ancient interpreters read each segment as a distinct era of her life's wholeness. The phrase "years of Sarah's life" (שְׁנֵי חַיֵּי שָׂרָה) also brackets the verse as an inclusio, appearing at both opening and close. The FOG preserves the tripartite rhythm; the FOG Message uses the summed figure and adds "full count" to honour that inclusive framing.
