the age
A duration of time that is indefinitely long, either extending into the remote past, the indefinite future, or characterized by unending perpetuity; in some contexts, refers to ancient times, remote antiquity, or an ongoing period. Rarely, may denote a persistent status that endures for generations or ages. The term does not necessarily imply absolute, metaphysical eternity as later conceived, but rather a temporal span beyond clear human perception or memory.

the hidden duration
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הָעוֹלָם). |
| Rendering Rationale | The definite article plus masculine singular noun indicates a specific, definite span. Rendering as "the hidden duration" preserves the root idea of what is concealed or beyond sight, while reflecting its sense of an indefinitely extended time beyond perception. |
