basic parsha question from Chaya Sarah -- Yishmael's age

Avodah
1

Shavua tov,

Much ado is made of Sarah's age as described in Torah (100 years and 20 years and 7 years). But at the end of the parsha, the same syntax is used for Avraham and for Yishmael (100 years and 30 years and 5 years). I *did* see meforshim explain why his age is mentioned at all, but I didn't see why it used "shana" three times, like it says for Sarah.

Thoughts anyone?

Look carefully. Meas Shonoh is used. See Sefer Hazikaron on Pirush Rashi
