As a score is an archaic term for "20", three score is 60 and 10 makes it 70.
Answer:
The context of it is in reference to a 70 year lifespan of a man. Probably as an "average" since he adds:
"...or eighty, if we have the strength..." (Ps.90:10 NIV)
Before the flood, The Bible records the lifespan of man to be nearly a thousand years. But between our sins, which include the physical abuse men put their bodies through in their lives, diseases and other pollutant factors... man's original physical perfection deteriorated and was passed on to their descendants, with each generation adding their own sins to the progressive deterioration.
By David's day, the lifespan of a man seems to have averaged out at 70 years... which I believe is still considered the average, today. With the possible exception of factoring in "modern miracle medicines," which can cause people to live longer than they otherwise would have without them.
But Psalm 90:10 refers to an average lifespan:
"The length of our days is seventy years--..." (NIV).
Psalm 90:10 in King James Version
Psalm 90, "The days of our years are threescore and ten".
If you are thinking of the word 'score' as a span of life, it is of biblical origin, Leviticus 12 and Psalms 90 which quotes 'there is a use of it that refers to a span of our lives' - 'the days of our years are three score years and ten'. Also borrowed by Shakespeare in Macbeth as 'Three score and ten I can remember well,' The span of life was then considered to be three score and ten, in other words 70 years
psalm 90, the days of our years are threescore and ten, and if by reason of strength they may be fourscore, yet is their labour and strength and sorrow, for it is soon cut off and we fly away.
A score is twenty; if read as 'a score, ten and three' it is 20 + 10 + 3 = 33, but if read as 'a score [times] ten' it becomes 203.
In the older translations of the Bible and other old English literature, it just means 70, e.g.Genesis 46:27 "And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten."
a score is 20 years, so four score and ten years ago would be 90 years

Answer = 90.Four score and ten refers to years. A 'score' is twenty, so four of them would be 80, plus ten, it's 90. The term 'score' was used in the bible and in famous speeches. AnswerThe word score originates from Old English scoru"twenty," from Old Norse skor "mark, tally", in the sense of say, a shepherd making a mark on a tally stick when counting sheep. Its use in the Bible is simply that of a common word at the time of translation then falling into disuse though language change.
