It is derived from the Old English "þrīesċōr," where "score" refers to a group of twenty. Thus, "threescore" literally means three times twenty, or sixty. This term is often used in the Bible to describe ages, quantities, or measurements. Biblical Usage 1. Age and Lifespan: The term "threescore" is frequently used in the context of human lifespan. In <a href="/psalms/90-10.htm">Psalm 90:10</a> , it is written, "The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away." While the Berean Standard Bible does not use the term "threescore," the King James Version translates this as "The days of our years are threescore years and ten." This passage reflects the typical lifespan of a person, emphasizing the brevity and toil of human life. 2. Military and Census: In the context of military and census records, "threescore" is used to denote the number of people or soldiers. For example, in <a href="/1_samuel/27-7.htm">1 Samuel 27:7</a> , David lived in the Philistine territory for a year and four months, which is not directly related to "threescore," but in other passages like <a href="/2_samuel/2-31.htm">2 Samuel 2:31</a>, the term is used in the King James Version to describe the number of men: "But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died." 3. Genealogies and Lineages: The term is also used in genealogical records to indicate ages or the number of descendants. In <a href="/genesis/25-26.htm">Genesis 25:26</a> , Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah bore Jacob and Esau, which in the King James Version is expressed as "threescore years old." 4. Symbolic and Prophetic Numbers: Numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic or prophetic significance. The use of "threescore" can sometimes be seen in this light, representing completeness or a significant period. In <a href="/daniel/9-24.htm">Daniel 9:24-27</a>, the prophecy of the seventy weeks includes divisions of time that are often interpreted symbolically, though "threescore" is not directly mentioned in the BSB translation. Cultural and Historical Context In ancient Hebrew culture, numbers were often used symbolically. The number sixty, or "threescore," could represent a large, complete, or significant quantity. The use of "threescore" in the Bible reflects the linguistic and numerical conventions of the time, where counting by scores (twenties) was common. Theological Implications From a theological perspective, the use of "threescore" in the Bible underscores the themes of human mortality, divine providence, and the fulfillment of God's promises. The lifespan of "threescore years and ten" serves as a reminder of the temporal nature of human life and the importance of living in accordance with God's will. The use of specific numbers in Scripture often points to God's order and purpose in creation and history. In summary, "threescore" is a term that appears in various contexts within the Bible, illustrating the cultural, historical, and theological dimensions of biblical numerology. Its usage highlights the significance of numbers in conveying deeper spiritual truths and the realities of human existence.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>THREESCOREthre'-skor.
