[Avodah] How to become a kohein

[elazar teitz via Avodah]

"Yaaqov was born in 2108 and goes to Mitzrayim in 2238, he's 130. Avraham
was "va'adoni zaqein" at 99, so however aging worke d for the avos, we can
sure 130 was well past surprisingly old age for fathering children."

And yet, Avraham apparently married K'tura after Sara's death (which took
place when he was 137), and he fathered six more children.  (And according
to the Midrash that K'tura was Hagar, the mother of those children was not
so young either -- it was more than 50 years after Yishmael's birth.)
