The Days of a Tzaddik

Of Jacob the Torah says, Vayikravu y'mie Israel l'moot, "And the days of Israel approach death."

Of Moses, Writ states, Hayn karvu yamekha l'loot, "Your days are drawing near to die."

Of David, it says, Vayikravu y'mei David l'moot, "And the days of David drew towards death."

Shimon ben Lakish commented: The "days" of the righteous will come to a close but they do not.
