Gen 50:3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming: and the Egyptians wept for him three-score and ten days.
When Joseph's father died in Egypt, they mourned him 3 x 20 days plus 10 more = 70 days total. "
Some say a score is 10 more than 50, (like half dozen!)
Also Psalms 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years = we live 70 maybe 80 if lucky!
I want to know where in the Bible it tells of how many years a person is guaranteed. I believe it is threescore and ten but I think there are several references to that answer.
13And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel. 14And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
The ten commandments can be found in the Book of Exodus.
The book of Exodus 7-12
In the King James version The word - threescore - appears 93 times, but the phrase - threescore and three - does not appear at all the phrase - three score and three - does not appear at all
Threescore and ten years appears 4 times in the Bible. The passage that I like is: 10. The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. (Psalm 90)

Yes, in the Bible, "four score" refers to the number 80. In Psalm 90:10, it says, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten, and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow." This verse implies that a person's life span is typically 70 years, and if they are strong, they may live to be 80, reflecting on the brevity and toil of life.
Not sure, but if it is on the test the answer is 70.
This phrase refers to living to be seventy years old. It comes from the Bible, specifically Psalm 90:10, which states, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years."
the ten commandments
Answer:Threescore and ten means "seventy." A "score" equals "twenty." Three twenties equals "sixty" - plus "ten": "seventy."
The phrase Three score years and ten is from Psalms 90 verse 10: The days of our years are threescore years and ten;and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years,yet is their strength labor and sorrow;for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Psalm 90:The days of our years are threescore years and ten;and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years,yet is their strength labor and sorrow;for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.Since a score is 20, threescore and ten means 70; fourscore is 80.
13And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel. 14And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
