add a single hour to your span of life

The Greek that is translated as “add a single hour to your span of life” or similar in English is translated in the German New Testament translation by Berger / Nord (publ. 1999) with den Körper um eine Elle größer machen or “make the body one cubit taller.” The translators note that the original text offers both possibilities, adding time of life or body height.
