'Young and Old' in the Bible

Before they went to bed, the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, the whole population, surrounded the house.

They struck the men who were at the entrance of the house, both young and old, with a blinding light so that they were unable to find the entrance.

They completely destroyed everything in the city with the sword—every man and woman, both young and old, and every ox, sheep, and donkey.

They cast lots for their duties, young and old alike, teacher as well as pupil.

They cast lots for each gate according to their ancestral houses, young and old alike.

Letters were sent by couriers to each of the royal provinces telling the officials to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jewish people—young and old, women and children—and plunder their possessions on a single day, the thirteenth day of Adar, the twelfth month.

so the king of Assyria will lead the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old alike, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks—to Egypt’s shame.

Then the young woman will rejoice with dancing,while young and old men rejoice together.I will turn their mourning into joy,give them consolation,and bring happiness out of grief.

שׁ ShinBoth young and oldare lying on the ground in the streets.My young men and womenhave fallen by the sword.You have killed them in the day of Your anger,slaughtering without compassion.
