I agree wholeheartedly with Bert's post. I would only add that, on the typological level, the promise is not an absolute guarantee. If one keeps the Sabbath, that does not mean that other factors may not impinge on the life-span of someone. Also important here is that the woman did not live one minute shorter than God had decreed. She was not, in the ultimate sense, cut off young. She also has a resurrection body to which she can look forward.
