When you read about average life expectancy of ~40, that is referring to the life expectancy at birth. High infant mortality brought the whole average life expectancy to be very low. But those who lived to 5 years old had a much longer life expectancy. Anyone who lived to 50 could expect to live even longer.

Feb 27, 2017 at 9:22 comment added user4951 Look at the link I wrote. Many even suggest that Joseph is 80. Google and you'll see many source.
Feb 25, 2017 at 18:27 comment added guest37 What is the basis for your statement that Joseph was 50 years old when Jesus was born?
