'Span' in the Bible
Now Jacob lived in the land of Egypt 17 years, and his life span was 147 years.
You, indeed, have made my days short in length,and my life span as nothing in Your sight.Yes, every mortal man is only a vapor.Selah
Add days to the king’s life;may his years span many generations.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his handor marked off the heavens with the span of his hand?Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measureor weighed the mountains in a balanceand the hills in the scales?
