Genesis 12:4. So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
He had already attained a fine old age, but he had another century of life before him, which he could not then foresee, or expect. If, at his age, he had said, "Lord, I am too old to travel, too old to leave my country, and to begin to live a wandering life," we could not have wondered; but he did not talk in that fashion. He was commanded to go and we read, "So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him."
