Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Ayub 12:12

Rabbi Yose ben Yehuda, man of Kfar HaBavli, says: One who learns from elders is compared to what? To one who eats ripe grapes and drinks aged wine: As by aging with the wisdom, each and every day he adds new faces to each and every thing and improves them; and he reaches the bottom of knowledge, to the point where it is easy for him to understand. As 'wisdom is with the seniors, and understanding with the long-lived.'

And the proof of this: In the generation of the flood it is written and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all day, meaning it would continually worsen from day to day. This sin was certainly dependent on the physicality of the earth, not from the intellectual capacity within man, for wisdom is with aged men, and with length of days comes understanding (Job 12:12). How could it be that man would not regret his evil as he advances in years? However, if physicality alone is the cause, it makes sense, because physicality, due to its bestial nature, even as it ages, its foolishness does not depart from it. But after the flood, when the physicality of the earth was purified, from then on one cannot attribute sin except to the evil inclination which becomes stronger particularly in youth, but when one ages, one’s intellectual eye opens and one does not return to foolishness. Therefore it does not say “all day” but rather only from his youth. Indeed, when one reaches 13 years, “his friend” also comes and examines — this is the good inclination, and this is the cause of their survival.

AT SIXTY, OLD AGE. Rav: for the verse says, “you will go to the grave in old age [Heb. bechelach]” (Job 5:26), and the alphanumeric value of bechelach is sixty. Although the bet of bechelach is a preposition, it is counted for the alphanumeric value of the word, as is clear from the Talmud in Moed Kattan 28a where this verse is expounded. Although that passage quotes our verse in connection with the punishment of death by the heavenly court and here Rav understands it to refer to old age, this is because he is using the simple meaning of the verse, which is discussing good things as is clear from the end of it: “as a sheaf is brought in, in its season.” And just before that, “and you will know that there is peace in your tent” (Job 5:24).
Midrash Shmuel writes that some versions have “at sixty, wisdom”. Ritva agrees, and adduces the verse “wisdom is among the old [Heb. bi(ye)shishim]” (Job 12:12). Bi(ye)shishim is read as an abbreviation for ben shishim, sixty years old.
It is possible that even according to our version, the “old age” in the mishna refers to wisdom, for the Talmud (Kiddushin 32b) says that an old person [Heb. zaken] means a wise one, for zaken is an abbreviation for ze shekanah chochma, one who acquired wisdom. See below.
