Senescent means growing old; aging.
At age eighty-five, and having lived through the conquest of the Promised Land, Caleb claimed that he had yet to feel the ill effects of senescence. (Joshua 14:10-11)
"Now behold, the LORD has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today. I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in." (Joshua 14:10-11, NASB)
