PROLONG

pro-long' ('arakh, mashakh): "Prolong," "prolonged" are the translations of 'arakh, "to stretch," "to make long" (Dt 4:26, and frequently, "prolong days"; 4:40, etc.; Job 6:11 the King James Version; Prov 28:16; Eccl 7:15; 8:13; Isa 53:10); of mashakh, "to draw out" (Isa 13:22; Ezek 12:25,28 the King James Version); of yacaph, "to add," "to increase" (Ps 61:6; Prov 10:27); of naTah, "to stretch out," "to incline to" (Job 15:29, "neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth," the American Standard Revised Version "neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth," margin "their produce bend to the earth"; the English Revised Version reverses text and margin); of 'arekhah (Aramaic) (Dan 7:12, "Yet their lives were prolonged," the King James Version margin "A prolonging in life was given them").
