Isaac Blesses Jacob

1 Now it came to pass, when Isaac was aold and bhis eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.”  
2 Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I ado not know the day of my death.  
3 aNow therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.  
4 And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul amay bless you before I die.”

Genesis 27:1-2

Believe it or not, he still had about another 40 years to live. But he is described as being old. Old enough that his eyes were so dim that he could not recognize Jacob and Esau by sight. Now, he lived to be 180. I give you these figures so that you will understand that these people were pretty old, by today's standards, when these things were occurring.
