Abraham's lifespan – symbolizes a perfect and blessed life lived in righteousness.
According to Genesis 25:7, Abraham lived 175 years, which in Jewish tradition is seen as an expression of a complete and God-given life. The text emphasizes that Abraham died "old and full of days," an expression signaling that his life was completed and blessed by God. In Midrash literature, Abraham's lifespan is interpreted as a sign that he lived righteously and meaningfully throughout all his years, with every single year filled with spiritual value. Rashi, based on Bereishit Rabbah, explains the number 175 through the breakdown of the digits in Abraham's age as written in the Hebrew original text: "a hundred years and seventy years and five years" (מאה שנה ושבעים שנה וחמש שנים). At 100 he was like one who had never sinned, at 70 he was full of strength, and at 5 he was innocent as a child. Thus the entire life is read as marked by righteousness. The number 175 can be factored as 7 × 5 × 5. In Jewish numerology, 7 is associated with perfection and sanctification, while 5 is connected to God's grace and the five books of the Torah. The combination has been interpreted as an expression of a life fully dedicated to God's will.*
