1. seventy (cardinal numeral) — The Hebrew cardinal numeral (שִׁבְעִים) meaning 'seventy,' used across 91 occurrences for counts of people, years, days, and other quantities (e.g., the seventy elders, Daniel's seventy weeks, seventy years of exile). The two clusters differ only in the presence of the preposition beth ('with/in seventy,' 1x in Judges 9:2) versus the bare or conjoined form ('seventy / and seventy,' 90x), which is a grammatical surface variation, not a semantic distinction. Evidence: eng 'seventy / with seventy,' spa 'setenta / Con setenta,' arb 'سَبْعُونَ / بِسَبْعِينَ,' kor '칠십,' swa 'sabini / Watu sabini,' hin 'सत्तर / में सत्तर.' 91×
