# Isaac breathed his last and died
"Isaac took his last breath and died." The phrases "breathed his last" and "died" mean basically the same thing. See how you translated a similar phrase in [Genesis 25:8](../25/08.md). Alternate translation: "Isaac died" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
# breathed his last
This is a polite way of saying a person died. See how you translated this in [Genesis 25:8](../25/08.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-euphemism]])
# was gathered to his ancestors # was gathered to his ancestors
This means that after Isaac died, his soul went to the same place as his relatives who died before him. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "he joined his family members who had already died" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]]) "he joined his family members who had already died"
# an old man full of days # an old man full of days
The phrases "old man" and "full of days" mean basically the same thing. They emphasize that Isaac lived a very long time. Alternate translation: "after he had lived a very long time and was very old" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]]) "after he had lived a very long time and was very old"
